      thats the message she sends him by taking this guys advice... so its ok for the woman to send the message, *not interested, better things to do* then turn around and go "hmmm he didnt chase after me.....he must not be into me" *LOGIC FAIL!*

      OMG. Yes. This just happened to me. He was so sweet and funny and kind. He made me feel so special and like I could be myself around him. He dropped me off after a date, which I thought went really well, and he kissed me and I felt like a million dollars. He said I will see you tomorrow and left me smiling ear to ear. Literally 45 minutes later, I got a text that basically stated that he didn't feel that I was what he wanted in a relationship. Ouch. I was so stunned, dumbstruck, confused. Fill in the blanks. Wow. Here I sit feeling rejected, and led on. What do I do now?

      Drop That Man Forever Already--DTMFA because he wanted to create a 'perfect date' experience to say goodbye with. Just let him go and find someone else. If he changes his mind, he will try to reach out to you again sometime. And then I would go really slow with him at that point.

    I used to do think like that: chasing is not sexy. So, the young and naive me used to play this game and missed some good guys. However, now I've seen many success and failure cases from myself and people around me, and opinion changed. I now appreciate people know what they want. I think that is not only hot and full of passion, but indication of them knowing what they want. I've seen long lasting couples (30+ years). The husband and wife still acted like they just met and crazy in love - flowers, cakes, unconditionally supporting each other.... So, I I will say: if you are interested in me, come over! If not, let's look for love somewhere else. I am not attracted to 'cool' guys anymore.

      Patrick Bateman Yep, right. Clearly you have not got my message that I've tried that before and I regretted it. There are many complicated thing in the world already. Look around the world: there are many types of love. I just want the simple way. Simple to the extreme: many of my friends from India didn't even got to know their partner until they engaged. But both parties followed strictly the simple rule: to be nice to the other party, do whatever you can for the good of the family. And they are perfectly happy even when they come to the US. Of course this would not work if only one party is doing that.I've worked/be friends with people from 40+ countries and even more cultures. So even I do not agree with Matt in this message, I just stated my personal experience and not accusing him anything since I know how to respect. It is good to travel around the world.

    I remember watching this video a little while back when I had some problems with the guy I dated. Back then it ended up being me who always called him and was asking him out instead of him also calling and asking me. I could feel him getting more and more distant, almost like he didn't like me anymore and we had a little fight. So I decided to 'change the game' after watching this video and I straight up left him alone by not texting him or calling him, and after two weeks he came back saying how much he missed me, and that he had taking me for granted and he apologized over and over and said he hopefully now could show me how much he likes me. So thank you Matthew for your always great advice!

    • @foxfur8327
      @foxfur8327 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True for both sexes. Most like to feel they have won their own prize if they like someone, but if chased they feel their partner has captured them and most hate that entrapped feeling. There's nothing more repulsive, and often even dangerous, than a clinging stalker who won't allow a partner some freedom and hounds them constantly about wherebouts, etc. Also, unless a man really cares about a woman, he would more likely rather be out with his buddies than listen to senseless female chit chat. Most guys hate small talk from women they aren't interested in but may tolerate it if they think the woman will put out sexually. Secretly they actually resent easy women, knowing that easy women are likely diseased from spreading their legs for every other man as well.
      Don't forget that most people on the world have herpes and most won't know about it until their immune system drops. By then they may assume they got it from the last partner they had sex with when they could have developed it years before and actually spread it themselves to others.

    I love this video. I watch it a lot because I'm a people pleaser, and I'm trying to kick that mentality. The advice is applicable to so many different aspects of social anxiety and worrying about someone liking you or not. I've been practicing not caring whether people like me or not and watching this reminds me of why I need to keep doing that.

  • @galexynotprovided9945

    I loved this segment. And the reason is that Matt inspired me to think of something on my own. I kept thinking Matt was going to say that she was worrying so much about if he liked her, that she wasn't paying attention to his qualities, or lack there of and therefore, if she liked him. I also remember a video Matt did a long time ago. He said when we get to like someone, we now are concerned that they validate us. Where as before that wasn't the case.

    This one hit home, hard. I used to do this all the time, trying to fit myself to what the guy wanted me to be, instead of just being myself. And it's true, when I wasn't into someone they would like me more than the guys I really wanted, because I was myself around the guys I didn't want to date. This is why I have been celibate for 5 years, and hope that this time around, when I get out there again, I can be myself. Get out of my own head, stop analyzing every little thing a guy says or does, because if he doesn't like the real me there's NO WAY he can be the guy for me.

    There's a common misconception amongst most men about building a solid foundation for a relationship with his woman. He thinks that if he does something impressive, and the woman compliments him, the woman instantly falls inlove. Probably because most women are very expressive, sometimes they express things that they don't mean. The strongest foundation that you can build with your partner is acceptance. That even if you don't impress me, please me with efforts, buy me gifts and kneel infront of me. If he sees that you accept him for he is himself, and he finds comfort being with you without being conscious that he's gonna say something wrong, then he will stay committed to you. I know that I'm kinda stereotyping, but I just think that relationships don't last because people can't show their true self at the beginning with the consciousness of turning off the person they like. At the end of the day, you will reveal your true self with your partner. Acceptance is key.

      @@chizee3945 Yes, because you let him carry on the next minute like nothing happened. There is no way my gf gets away with treating me badly. Ill bring it up until we have discussed it. It doesnt happen often, and our relationship is the most wonderful I could ever imagine, but people hurt people. Not necessarily because they want to hurt them, but because they are not good at vocalizing things, or many other reasons.
      All I can tell you is to talk about it. Dont let him get away with treating you badly, because then you are inviting him to treat you badly again.
      Also give them the feeling of being accepted. Its absurd, but the times I feel amongst the most attraction to my gf is when she farts. I love it, because she invites me to treat her well and be accepting, which I am.
      That goes for everything that might be unacceptable in society, or might be something someone is ashamed of.

    @CoriTripCPetersen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    So glad I've come back to this video Matt. While the concept of not trying TOO hard is easy, actually understanding nuance or application is is not so easy. The REAL breakthrough moment in this video is realizing the fact that your desire for a person does not commit you to have get approval. The mere idea that their attention to me is disconnected from my level of caring for them is novel.
    Just because I like someone does not mean that I have to really care so much about if they like me or not! It seems obvious almost but it absolutely is not obvious. Upon analysing the idea, again it is almost simplistic but not until you do look deeper. If you you've never delved into the area let alone the specifics, you'll likely not have the opportunity to realize this simple truth.
    I like you, however that has no real relation to you liking me unless I make it so. Us "making it so," appears to be our default position on the matter so that is why this is not self evident without analysis.
    Thank you Matt for being a coach for the most difficult landscape we can negotiate, personal relationships.

    I'm 42 and have never ever been in a relationship...
    but why?
    I'm trying to untangle the mess that's in my mind:
    1 - what do good looks have to do with relationships?
    2 - why have I never been in a relationship? (what about me?)
    3 - most men would want a "hot" girl...
    4 - most men talk about girls in these terms: hot or not etc.
    5 - family always telling me to dress up, do hair, wear make up etc.
    6 - but they are all around me, everywhere, it's all I see:
    dreadfully ugly/unattractive people in terrific relationships...
    7 - but what about old people?
    they're just old. they don't GIVE A FUCK about looks.
    8 - then why can't I attract a man?
    9 - men don't see me; it's like I don't exist:
    I'm just a fat frumpty-dumpty sexless old person in their eyes!
    10 - I could make a list that could fill a billion books
    of ugly unattractive people in sexual romantic relationships...
    11 - my cousin, for example: old fat ugly (as fuck!) and married.

    Love this! On both ends it shouldn't be difficult to see one another. However, if they both have their interests and responsibilities there's nothing wrong with saying hey I have responsibilities, let's coordinate like she did.
    I also agree with him, neither should make their entire world around the other person. Which is where she was headed. Obsessing about the situation, the guy, analyzing it to death, and not doing what makes her happy. Like any relationship, if you're starting a friendship and that person stops texting and calling, I'll follow up. but if I didn't do anything wrong or expects me to run after them or always communicate then it's one sided. And yes there are individuals who do this in friendships.
