      Girls are to emo and care about your feelings to do that. But chances are if you are feeling like she is not interested is because she is in fact not interested. You are just blinded by emotion but your instincts are on point.

      It has happened several times, and I'm quite sure it's not my blind emotion. I'm interested in her but it's far from love and I would have no problem if she doesnt like me. But she just keeps getting in and out, keeping me guessing, neither refusing nor accepting, which drives me nut.

      Sad thing is I used to think I never attracted girls, and I did, but it was usually shy girls who didn't make the move, and I was suppose to try and assume their feelings through subtle approaches. As soon as I said something that sounds like rejection, rip! Happened a couple of times when I was a lot younger.

    • @Akrazzyy
      @Akrazzyy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

      Not the best advice ever. Never be direct about your feelings until she initiated. Girls likes to flirt and so should you, they’d rather be indirect. If you directly tell them you like them that creates a huge tension and she might not have had enough feelings yet so hang out a free times, let her have feelings for you, let her initiate that conversation, until then enjoy the intimate moments. Being too direct kills all the fun.

      I disagree. I've had the roles were reversed, I would feel assuming the girl is pursuing me to be narcissistic, same vibe as "I have a boyfriend". So a woman may not know you're into them or at least suspects you are, but if she just bluntly says she's not into you, but you weren't pursing then it's very narcissistic. Just learn when things are actually reciprocal as the video says.

    Having been married for 22 years and recently divorced, it's interesting to listen to you, although I'm still a very long way off from wanting to start thinking about dating again. Lots of good suggestions. I remember walking through a busy grocer back when I was first married. When we left the store my wife told me that 5 women had hit on me and I was completely oblivious to it.

    • @mattirealm
      @mattirealm ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Sorry about that Rick. It sucks, divorce does. My ex-wife constantly told me about women hitting on me, and I wasn't even aware. I wasn't paying attention; which should have gotten to her thick brain, that I really was devoted to her. As for divorce...they say it gets better, but after 2 years, I don't know. Some things get better. That shellshocked feeling you get right after it is final goes away. You are angry, you are sad, and then angry, on and on. Holidays suck and so do birthdays, but I have also seen it as a good opportunity to just be myself with myself by myself. Does that make sense? I am not dating yet either, but I keep my options open. Most days it is okay to be single. You only have yourself to answer to. We never had any kids, so there is not that concern in my life. I have grown up a lot....basically I am saying that there can be positives from a negative ugly situation.

    I went through all of this, and I finally, after about 4 months, got her actually into me. In the end, it didnt workout but it was an insane learning experience. This video has helped me understand even more where i went wrong and why she would do the things she did.
    If anyone is wondering how I went from her just being nice and us being friends to her actually wanting me, what changed was an increase in confidence, being a lot less needy, not being afraid to speak my mind and i massively improved my flirting just through techniques i found on YT.
    I also threw in some simple and funny dirty talk ("you can get undressed in front of me i dont mind" kind of stuff), better eye contact, broke the touch barrier e.t.c. The main issue guys have is a lack of belief in themselves. If you think you can get her into you and when the time is right you flirt well and give off the right signs, play it cool, its actually pretty straightforward tbh.

      Absolutely. Technology as a whole is great, but it's given people the ability to filter out anything they don't feel like dealing with. Young people, and even some older people, are so terrified of any kind of confrontation and it's so easy to enable that with just a click of the "unfriend" and "block" buttons. It's absolutely embarrassing. All that over something that's most likely a misunderstanding that could've been solved with a fucking sentence or two.

    I respect that you actually respect your followers! Alot of these female hosted channels seem to make men think it's okay to simp over a woman instead of being the man you should be.
    I don't need too much help in this situation.. however, it's always nice to know some tricks to keep a conversation light and fun.. I watch this more for regular interaction with women. Men and women are very different creatures.
    Here's an example,.. I can naturally talk about Cars, Fitness and Boxing all day but as soon as you start talking to women about it they'll lose interest if you drag it on. But men could sit there all day and talk.
    So it's just nice to know what women appreciate in conversations.. no one wants to be redundant or boring no matter who they're talking with.

    I always like to tell my buddies that if you are in touch with yourself, and your objective is to live a good, fulfilling life (as opposed to solely chasing women, getting laid etc) - you will never put yourself in a situation where you need to worry about whether or not she likes you like that.
    You will create platonic joy and depth with the people you interact with, women or otherwise. And that will always feel amazing and fill your heart. Winning female affection will become much less of an obsession.
    And when a woman does have romantic feelings for you, the indications will be obvious. Women will make an effort to pursue a good man in their network. You just need to work on yourself!

It depends on the culture, but still girls do that very rarely. At best, she can give you some signs, but this can be very misleading, as explained in this video.

I always felt bad for him for that. I saw him get hurt several times because of it.

      Keep in mind in the U.S. it's the man's job to get the ball rolling with the girl. Sounds doable on the surface, but the problem is that if a woman does like you, just who is the 'you' she likes? While men are pretty flexible in getting to know a women, with women they will have a whole 'play' that they need you to perform in, and you will be graded on how well you play your part. You'll only have a chance if you make it past the audition and opening night. The weird thing is if you win them over with this charade if you turn out to be a complete asshole they may actually stay with you. It's so strange...

      Dude - don't give up. Work on yourself, and use women as motivation. The particular woman that you are using for motivation may not be the woman you end up with, but you can decide to improve yourself. No PMO is a great place to start, as well as exercising. Set some fitness goals, work hard, again do the no PMO thing. At some point you'll be content on your own, and the right woman will just come along. Again I will stress this point - no PMO works wonders as it increases testosterone.

    This is valuable, because for most of my adult life I was getting it wrong on BOTH sides, to the extent that I got too timid, and in retrospect lost a lot of opportunities with women who were very interested in me, but I was only 95% sure instead of 100% sure so I didn't make a calculated reciprocation.

      Hope you gave it a try! Deactivated Facebook and Messenger for 6 months and felt great, back on Facebook now but primarily to upload artwork, same with Instagram. Using practically no chat services that don't involve work/business or planning meetings, and the silence is golden. Been some whiny people who think I'm upset with them or who complain about how they're supposed to get in touch (the latter usually the same people who only want to text and cancel meetups consistently). Found that people contact me when they actually want something as opposed to when they're bored these days.

    The questions bit was one of the biggest tells for me. I was seeing this girl for a bit, and I think for her it was out of loneliness/boredom. Because, not only did a lot of things feel superficial on the few dates we went on, but she never really asked me any real questions, no attempts to try and get to know me, though I would ask her things about herself.
    Things felt one-sided very quick, and so I had to end it.

  • @TheMegaDudeBroski
    @TheMegaDudeBroski ปีที่แล้ว +7

    It’s really interesting hearing this while I’m trying to figure this out. I met a girl at a party a couple weeks ago and we had a really great conversation and it led to me getting her Snapchat. She mentioned that she works at a bar and I decided to take a couple of friends with me to go there when she was working and while I was there I asked her if she wanted to get dinner some time.
    But anytime I hear the “she doesn’t text you first” but I always start to panic because I’ve only text her first ever (granted it took me like a week to even text her at all which I kinda wish I hadn’t done). But when it comes to eye contact we are constantly catching each other looking at each other. I genuinely can’t tell whether she likes me or not but all of my friends insist that she’s totally in to me.

    • @kfactor20
      @kfactor20 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m in a similar situation. Some of these signs apply and some don’t. I’ve become friends with this girl at work and just for some context, she’s a scientist and I’m a “lab supplies technician”, meaning I deliver supplies to the floor she works on. She had randomly acquainted herself with me a few months back and has been initiating conversations with me every so often since then. I say every so often bc there are days when it gets real busy and she’ll only have time for a “hello” or a “nod of acknowledgement”. But all of the conversations we’ve had in person have been initiated by her. She’ll also wave at me and say hi whenever she sees me and sometimes says things like, “hi, again” whenever she walks past me. Another thing too that’s on this list is that she makes eye contact with me all the time, especially when we talk. Most notably, she was, one time, pushing a cart with beakers on it past me and said, “hey[my name]” then proceeded to lock eyes with me for a solid 3 seconds while still pushing the cart forward. I had told a platonic girl friend of mine about it and she, with full confidence, went, “oh she likes you.” I gave her my number a month ago and she liked that I did but didn’t text me until 2 days later. She hasn’t been the one to text me first but will reply, very slowly, to mine. However, she’ll still initiate conversations with me in person. Something to make note of too is that she’s about the only scientist on her floor who talks to me the way she does, when she doesn’t have to. When others talk to me, it’s usually just questions about certain supplies or if they can get something delivered. She’s never really talked to me about any of that, and when she does it’s to ask if my day’s been busy. You see how I’m struggling here? My friend thinks she’s into me but there are points when I’m not sure. Sorry about the long ass comment

I normally ask everyone how they are doing, and try to show all of my students that I care about them. I am extra nice when I am on the job, and it is to everyone, not just men.

    In my younger days I tended to read too much into things and face rejection so eventually I stopped making that leap. However, in the time since then there have been times when I'm confident they were actually interested but since I stopped trying in fear of rejection I never made a move and assumed they were being friendly. Looking back, I can say with almost total certainty some of the women I met were actually interested and I missed out on what could have been. Fellas, if you like the girl and you got that feeling, go out on that limb. If she doesn't seem interested or does anything listed in the video then at least you know.
