Thank you for all of your videos, firstly. Secondly I’d like to say that I appreciate you bringing up social media and texting right away. I think that it’s harmful in a lot of situations. I’m 45, so when I was growing up I was getting plenty of that face to face practice, and also being held accountable for being an idiot in certain situations. But that helped me learn certain things a lot easier. Keep it up, Courtney! What a lot of men refuse to do is make working on themselves a priority instead of just blaming women.
Both men and women are too busy looking down at their phones to connect with each other. I think if we were forced to not have smart phones then we would connect more.
Can’t tell you how many friends/men I’ve gotten into debates/arguments with about this. I tell them I….gasp! Leave my phone at home! Or put it on airplane mode when I go out! And they are horrified by this. I’m horrified by the fact that they can’t do this
@@michaeljjt1976 as a super tech geek I blow people’s minds when I tell them that all my notifications are muted and all social media apps are uninstalled. It’s the only way to stay sane in this new world.
Not only the constant online addiction but the content their viewing. The non-stop feminist propaganda & men’s pushback keeps everyone hating on the other side.
it’s not about me. I work remotely and barely take my phone when I’m out
My phone stays on silent.
I’ve limited putting myself out there simply because I am trying, but the more I try, the less others care or appreciate it! If you can’t appreciate effort, kick rocks!
I already feel like crap as it is
Protect your light brother! That’s how the cream rises to the top. The ungrateful will regret it down the road. 💯
I would say u got the title wrong Courtney. It is women who are finding it hard to connect with men. I will even argue men have long given up trying to connect woth women
Yep. Women flip flop, give mixed signals, have hidden messages, so the bare minimum and call it inviting a man to pursue, and don’t really know themselves that well. Men are simple. We know who we are, what we like, what we want, and say what we mean and mean what we say. No games. No BS.
There’s billions of both women and men
To generalize like that just shows where your mindset is
lmao sad
Brother, fellow men still insist on using dating apps, though men outnumber women on them. That’s an issue. Go outside, and talk to people; treat women like humans.
@@deemgai2727 Agreed. Both genders need to stop generalizing genders about gendered behavior.
@@memememememe-x9bforgot to mention A.I. girlfriends are on the rise.
My wife and I love your channel! Our son is learning a lot as he is starting College and wants a leg up!
Aww that’s wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching 🥰
From my experience, it’s hard to connect with women when they have inflated standards and see me as a checklist even for things I can’t control like height and ethnicity. I know I have flaws but social media and dating apps have trained women to think there is always a better version of whoever they are currently with. It doesn’t matter if I go out, work out, improve my finances, look presentable, etc. There will always be better versions out there they have exposure to.
That’s why it’s imperative to date several points down
@@TheButcherGorr Or, just find a nice lady who will genuinely love you/lust for you.
Love this comment, very true. If you go back and ask your grandparents or older people in general on how they were married so long you’ll find out a lot of things. Standards used to be a job, could give a decent life, protect the family, nice/kind person and had some other great personalities. Now the list is like you need to make 6 figures, be over 6ft tall, provide well over a decent life, have no flaws, and expensive car.
100% Agree. I have a bunch of female friends and when I ask them about dating, they give simple answers like, “I just want a nice, outgoing guy who thinks I am funny.” Or something like that. Then they tend to never find a boyfriend. When they look for a guy to date, they just hop onto a dating app instead of looking for guys around them. Because they know there is always someone better, they also never want to get into relationships because they are afraid of meeting someone better after committing.
Kind of hard for men to connect when they are constantly told they are responsible for all the evil in the world.
Then who is if not men?
@@RealOGfikey LOL
There are 8 billion people on Earth. Someone must be connecting?
Not all but 90% of all evil in The world
That’s what the internet tells you though. The Twitter losers of the world but i don’t think that is the case mostly. Some of it yeah maybe is but as a whole, that’s absolute horseshite!
Did we expect anything different though with being able to connect with each other when one party says things like, I don’t need a man, I prefer the bear, boss babe, or the social media bashing for just approaching? I’m also going to toss it out there that there is a lack of growing up for both men and women, way to many immaturity and child likeness in adults today. No one wants to connect with a person who doesn’t know what they want in life, lack of morals, zero understanding of what is going on around them. I absolutely agree that screen time and lack of places to connect are problems but there is a bigger problem that has yet to be addressed and it could turn society around in many aspects, parenting.
Important things:
0:51 First Thing ÷ Not Enough Face-To-Face Unplugged Practice;
4:08 Second Thing ÷ Paradox Of Choice On Dating Apps;
5:45 Third Thing ÷ Confusing Attraction With Compatibility;
6:32 Fourth Thing ÷ Unrealistic Expectations Around Connection;
8:10 Fifth Thing ÷ Low Emotional Literacy;
9:09 Sixth Thing ÷ Social Isolation And Fewer Chances To Connect;
10:01 Seventh Thing ÷ Performing Masculinity; and
11:14 To summarize all the told here.
Additional things can be following: Eighth Thing ÷ Spending Too Much Time On Either Watching TV Or Scrolling Social Media, Or Perhaps Playing Too Much Games On Either PC or PS; Ninth Thing ÷ Showing No Interests In Things; Tenth Thing ÷ Lack Of Interactions With Others (but this can be used partly at first thing that you have told Courtney). And I’ll explain. At ninth thing I meant that some people don’t show interests at all. And when I say that, I meant that they don’t do anything what’s good for them or for their soulmates (honor exceptions to those people who don’t do these things. Men and women).
This things that you have told Courtney, they are just showing how is now common the thing such as lonely human (which can be either men, or woman, despite the ages). It’s now very expressed today, than it was before (in the times when the civilization started). There was however problem of lonely human, but it wasn’t analyzed that deep like it’s analyzed nowadays. The social media’s don’t always represents things that we see in real life’s. For example, there is the situation that one couple after making pics of FB or IG, and after publishing, they suddenly start struggles and arguing about many things. My point here is that seeing things on social media and dating apps must be considered with big caution, cause we can be disappointed in things that we see. Also you don’t have to trust what you always see on the apps. Of course everybody is willing to live the life how they want it.
The better thing is that we are focused on the achievements, and in that focus might happen that we find a perfect soulmate (either you go to marketplace, model kits hobby show, library, supermarket, pub).
In Balkan peninsula we say this thing: ,,Bolje sprečiti nego lečiti.” Translation is: “Better safe than sorry.” Reading between the lines means discovering things while they can be solved, cause if you don’t discover them, it’s hard to treat these things.
Thank you very much Courtney ❤💙🤍.
I don’t understand why women even respond if they’re not interested to begin with. If a chick that I’m not interested in messages me I simply don’t respond. It avoids awkwardness and embarrassment.
Get this I met one at church she was from out of town. I messaged her on Facebook giving her my number, no response. I waited a few weeks reached out again no response. I then messaged her saying I thought she was interested based on her body language and our interactions. I wished her well and just moved on. Few weeks later she texted me twice. Then went ghost again. At this point I’m pissed because now she’s just playing games. I completely ripped into her then blocked her. I mean wtf why even deal with the hassle of texting me if she wasn’t interested. Women are just too mentally exhausting to deal with anymore
Dating apps are the main cause of this problem. It reduces human connection to a numbers game.
3:01 guys when you run your testosterone labs, also run E2 (Estradiol). We need to know your base E2 before testosterone enters your body. No offense, but most of you have an elevated body fat percent. When testosterone mix with fat it generates estradiol. That’s why you see some men on TRT with gynecomastia; their doctor didn’t monitor their E2, it was elevated, and instead of big biceps they get big man boobs. When you start TRT, keep an eye on that E2. If it’s elevated, your medical provider needs to prescribe you with something like arimidex to counter the elevated E2. Still, well managed, TRT is very damn worth it. You will feel like a teenager again.
Only thing man is looking for is peace, warm cooked meals and affection. I’ve seen many videos from various channels of women showing none of this. So men will go their own way for peace.
As a 26-year-old autistic guy who’s never dated and doesn’t want to (I’m asexual), I just want to add my honest take. From what I’ve seen through friends, guys are expected to do so much just to be noticed… initiate, impress, provide, protect… and even then, their effort often gets taken for granted or thrown back at them.
Some end up used, ghosted, cheated on or even falsely accused… and the system often sides against them by default. It’s exhausting. So a lot of us just quit trying. Not out of hate, but because it feels like a rigged game. And sometimes, the healthiest option is to walk away.
Not saying all women are like that… Far from it. There are many good ones out there, I’m sure… But the risk to reward ratio is so skewed, most guys don’t even wanna take the chance. Just my two cents anyway. Thanks for the great content as always, Courtney 🙏
Hard to disagree brother. That is why I think I find it so hard also to cold approach someone. People that I haves asked on a date have always been people that I have spent a lot of time with and therefore have seen how they are with other people. In all other situation it does feel like it is a bit of a risk as you literally have no context or anything or that what they have let you see.
Why cope so hard? I find it hard to believe you would click this video/be aware of Courtney as an influencer if you weren’t trying to date… lol
I read The Girlfriend Magnet Masterplan once…just once…and almost instantly, women started looking at me different. More eye contact, more smiles, more engagement… like something shifted. It felt like I unlocked a literal cheat code to attraction. Not some fake gamey tactics…real internal changes that women feel. It’s wild how fast it works
I’ll be sure to read that i want to be more charming with women ✌
@@MichaelSevilla97 this book helped me get more girls fr
I m a 51 year old man. Like every young man did, back in high school I had a crush on a girl in my class.
It was early 90s and there were no internet, no social media, no cell phone whatsoever. As a result, I approached her in person, initiated conversation, and got her home phone number. I remember the first time I called her it was her father who picked up the phone, and I was freaking.
In the end, we hanged out, and we started writing letters to each other (back in those days we only had one phone at home, so we couldn’t talk too much). It was the good old days when the absence of technology in turn forced people to actually engage and connect with one another in person.
To me, writing a letter to your crush is much more profound and romantic than sliding into someone’s DM or texting on the phone. GenZs are missing out on human connection a lot.
During the past 3 weeks, I have began cold approaching in London where I reside. So far Ive had 5 phone numbers and all of them have flaked. Its extremely taxing on my self esteem but im trying to keep going. In 4 years since my girlfriend left me, ive had 1 romantic experience with a woman, and she ghosted me afterwards.
So in other words the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. All that effort resulted in absolutely nothing. Talk about a lost cause.
It’s definitely the phones haha. Everyone is always with headphones on, lost in their own world even when walking down the street, riding public transport, supermarkets, even in schools / universities! I remember how before around 2010, people on all the aforementioned places would look each other in the eyes and at the very least nod as an untold greeting (yes, including between boys and girls). Nowadays everyone’s eyes are glued to their smartphones literally all the time and it’s just sad to see that human connection being lost because of it
Solution to issue #1, #2, & #6: Destroy/ban dating apps, implement limitations on social media access. Bring us back to the 1990s.
True there is a male loneliness epidemic and I’m definitely frustrated with dating apps and in person social interactions with women. All of them regardless of their age are complicated. I know it doesn’t happen overnight. Talking, bonding, connecting, clicking, being interesting, not running out of topics to talk about, having a job and your own apartment or house, knowing when to make your move! All that is so frustrating! It’s a long difficult project and a full time job too! I have been wanting a girlfriend for a long time and I won’t give up. Someone told me to believe in myself. Women have always been complicated when it comes to relationships! All this good advice and explaining also proves how complicated women are! I don’t think any man will ever fully understand women. My people which are lonely guys struggling to get a girlfriend and incels should unite! Another fact that contributes to the struggle for us to connect and understand the opposite sex is that WOMEN ARE COMPLICATED!
