One of the biggest predictors of life satisfaction is the quality of our relationships and there are studies which show that it's specifically your romantic relationships which correlate with these health and happiness outcomes. So in this video, I'll be sharing some tips from that I picked up from talking to behavioural scientist Logan Ury who's written the fantastic book How To Not Die Alone. Enjoy x

I like how you’ve extended your channel into improving your personal life! Sometimes productivity channels can feel so about the grind culture that we forget to have lives outside of it.
+1
agreed!
I liked your comment and made it 1.2k
💯 🎉
Honestly the best relationships I've had were when I was not looking for one, I put myself out there through hobbies instead and met lots of new people and eventually that's how I met my current bf. It feels way more natural this way and we were actually friends first. But I totally get the frustration, I was on the apps for a while and it was so frustrating and dehumanizing
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
May I ask what type of hobbies did you do?
100% agree. Sometimes living your life with the sole purpose of dating-marrying makes you seem a bit.. desperate?? find things you like, hobbies, sports, your job, having good times with your friends, anything. Anything that involves even a bit of communication with other people (even online) might lead to a mutual interest & it feels much more natural. Also, try to live in the moment, don't let your life pass by thinking about the "ideal love life" you would want. The best experiences I've lived are with people I never thought I would
2:10 damn she really said “my husband is NOT the ideal partner physically but he’s Brilliant and hilarious” 🤣
Unbelievable amount of quality, life-changing content in 15 minutes. This was such an excellent way to follow up on the book summary. As someone who's fairly well-read in the relationship and therapy department, you introduced some new concepts and there's always more to learn. Thanks so much Ali !
Yep, I actually met my "ideal" and didn't feel anything. I altered my approach to pretty much everything in this video and then I met my husband who was the complete opposite of my original list!
Omg same!! I met my ideal too and I didn’t feel anything at all. I was so disappointed in myself about that, that I deleted all my apps and never dated again.
What was on your list then to now?
How did it change
I am really enjoying your content Ali, I’ve been thinking about what it means to improve happiness so it’s really cool to see you go through things systematically, even relationships! Really happy that you’re growing in this way as well ☺️
I think one word can summarize this entire video and its: humility.
We are all human, we all have amazing qualities, flaws, and everything else in between. Give people chances, and more chances, and chances are you will find love.
love that
No, nope, noooo. No chances if there is no spark. Just nausea
@@enonz761slow burn~~~
@@enonz761yeah 😬
@@enonz761actually, that’s kind of approach that often ends up in unsuccessful dating. Of course, you want someone who you have a good connection and dynamic with. But this is exactly the kind of thing that can be built. What can’t be done, is fix a manipulator, who is exactly the type of person who will most often give you a “spark” with their manipulation, charm and attractiveness.
I feel like these are tips to find a boyfriend/girlfriend. To marry someone there is a list. Do they have the same religious views, if they want kids, political views and if they accept your culture/if they have the same culture and blah
I love your videos! Who is editing your videos? Thanks for great information.
Off topic: Ali's voice is so therapeutic.
Learning how to find love productively is something I never knew I needed 😁Happy you've found love, Ali!
Ohhh Ali’s in love 🥰 We all get those feelings and it’s so nice to hear you talk about it.
I hope you find the right one ❤️
It's not about finding the one for you. ...it's becoming the right one for yourself
I love this, will write it down somewhere where I can remind myself of it :)
You suddenly became my favorite TH-cam channel. Your advice is always something to consider and look forward to.
Thank you for what you’re doing ❤
Honestly, just take it easy and follow your feeling. If it feels right, continue to grow the relationship. Use conflicts to deep dive into each person's needs and each person's pre-wired behaviour shaped by parents and life experiences. This will lead to a better mutual understanding and to becoming a stronger team together. If it doesn't feel right, leave. And do not treat your significant other like something you can own or shape to your needs and never rely on that person to support you financially. That way you can always fairly choose for the relationship and not hang on to it for other reasons than believing in it.
This is so well put! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
this comment is golden👏👏
Congratulations Ali. Productive way to announce an engagement!
Experience vs evaluation mindset and spark vs burn slapped. Bottom line: it’s all about taking it light and experiencing the flow,the vibes. If you vibe, you vibe. Useful insights Ali.
Insightful. Love the tip about having an experience when going on dating rather than the traditional meal/interview.
So happy to hear you've found love 🥰 love to see it!
I just got out of a relationship fairly recently but I didn't go into that relationship with any kind of checklist expectation. And I think that's why it was so successful during the first, second and third date. It may not have led to marriage or whatever, but it was a great first relationship that was truly genuine.
This is the most on brand Ali video I swear. Love this for you bud!
I love how your channel cover different aspect of lives - love, education, career etc 😍
Cool
This was really informative thank you. I’ll put this book on my reading list! 💕
This video was so helpful that I didnt know I needed it!
Thanks for this video always all of your videos encourage us everytime always help us to realise many things also thanks all the members who are working at background
"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved." ~ George Sand 😊
JazakAllahu Khair, Ali! This seems so sensible.
Thanks for this informative video. It inspired me to request this book from the library. May love prevail!
I'm sooo happy that Ali's usual video editing is back👍🥰
I hate videos with unnecessary memes😒
Your work is wholeheartedly appreciated.
Great video Ali. Thanks for the refreshing tips
The Baground is Awesome 💚
Thank u so much Ali, I always learn sth new with your videos. 😄
I am currently reading this book you recommended for the past few weeks, thank you for sharing it! I didn't realize you had this video out 9 days ago! I was hesitating due to my cultural background but want to break this.
Ali welcome back to TH-camr .. lot of love respect and thanks
So so happy to see Ali in this space😊
Not expected this video! But was insightful!
I'm the slowburn type and it's difficult to find someone who has the same mindset. It just takes time to warm up and I don't judge after 1-2 dates.
Great video!! But this is also why its so important to work on yourself. Because you could be an incredible person and we could be having an amazing time but then when the subjects of “what are your plans for the future” etc…. Do come up, or if you don’t have basic table manners, are screaming at waiters, come to the date unshowered and with stinking hair… it can block the other person from just being in the moment and experiencing all of you when they’re constantly distracted by those little things.
Soo happy for Ali and his future bride. God speed and continued success!
Hey Ali i just starting watching your video , and i honestly tell uu your video is so productive for students. 👍
"1. Throw away the checklist"
The way I just screamed "NOOOO" 🤣
Outlandish, paragraph long lists are not necessary and counterproductive, that parts true, but I think it’s absurd to not have at least a short list of boundaries/“must haves” to build a relationship on a solid foundation. Yes, you’re not gonna find the “perfect” partner, he/she becomes it over time (hopefully), but you need a solid baseline to build upon, otherwise the house of cards will fall inevitably, as it is CLEARLY occurring in the current dating marketplace.
A short/concise “list” of 10 things that are non-negotiables, I think is actually helpful, you need a small filter at least; otherwise I’m good.
this is a very good channel. I just discovered it today and I found this , I needed something like this. Thanks for that video. The channel is pretty impressive, full with references. I like the way you edit your videos. Do you use premade template or do effects by yourself ? will you do one day a tutorial ? I really like the way the transitions are made too.
Deep Dive is my favorite podcast. Keep it up, Ali ❤
Okaaaay. This is one of the better dating tips I've listened to on TH-cam 🎉 Thanks!
Love your hair like this Ali!!! It’s a good luck for u!
Thank you Ali for this great video.
Sio happy for you Ali! wish you all the best
Ali, the one person who uses evidence to find love
thank you for the advice, Dr Ali. I'll make sure to use your tips in good way
Love you Ali. Thank you for the invaluable content.
Congratulations to you and your future wife. Maybe it can happen to all of us one way or another.
Ali love your videos, thank you
This is very helpful, thank you
I struggle going on a second date with people I don’t feel a “spark” for. In all my experiences the men always feel like I’ve used them or “wasted their time” if I don’t want to continue after a second or third date.
isnt that more of a you thing then?
Ali is in love with being productive
As an American woman who is 55+ years old, I've found it was so much easier to find compatible men in the United Kingdom: This was either via dating sites, or in person when living in Wales, UK, as a digital nomad. Sometimes, it was just three dates, and other times it was a relationship that lasted close to two years. I'm vegetarian (vegan some days), Agnostic, left-wing politically, and haven't owned a car in close to two decades. I like a walkable lifestyle, I'm a minimalist, and an Introvert. I've also lived in five countries. In the UK, men found me to be interesting, funny, intelligent, and "fun to be around." In the USA, men on my age group are looking for a "drinks and a f*ck" girl (nope, not interested), or they want to talk about who I was in high school forty years ago instead of discussing my current life, or they want to discuss why I divorced my husband more than twenty years ago. American men, at least the ones here in the upper Midwest, still act like teenaged boys. Men in the UK, at least the ones I dated, acted like men.
What a great video. Great job, thank you for this video.
Yeah, it was really well done! 😁
Thank you Ali it was very interesting.
Watching this video made me realise that I am on the right track.
Love this evidence based tips. Thank you very much
That was surprisingly helpful 😂 thanks
I love your new background
Finally release this video!
Love your vids
Thank you for this video 🙏 I just bought the book. I'm prioritizing my dating life for the rest of the year.
So good! Thanks to this advice, I have the BEST life partner today - 7 years later and still passionately in love with one another ❤️😍
Yeah, checklists based on superficial aspects are bad but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have non-negotiables as part of the Checklist.
I agree with this, especially if your non-negotiables are for long-term reasons.
True ,,I was taken back by this point ,,,,
Helpful ! Thanks
i miss that roommate of yours. her name is at the tip of my tongue. you guys always made me smile.
Thank you so much for this video ❤️
Can’t wait for the alizzy phase of the channel
I found my life partner doing the opposite of half of this advice 😂 I think everybody should experiment for themselves.
what did you do
Did he say “future wife” 👀😍🤩
"Hmm , Yeah I'm productive in love" - Ali Abdaal
I love the vid, even though i already met my person
Having Ali Abdaal as crush is super worth it.
This stuff irritates me - I want to scream "no duh!" - when it comes to assuming people's "lists" include such stupid things mentioned here. MY "list" had criteria based on long term compatibility qualities, core values, and values based needs and wants none of which focused on looks. Health and basic fitness yes (because I'm active and need an active partner and need to share the core value of long term health to be compatible) Just things in the "looks" category, no.
Huge fan! FYI, Your chapters didn't register in the player bc the timestamps have to start with 0:00, I've noticed this on some other video as well. Once you add the 0:00 timestamp the chapters will register automatically
For some reason, the word Bromodoro popped into my head 😃
best wishes Ali!
😂😂😂😂😂 Same
great video!
Really happy for you 🎉,
Love almost all of the ideas in the book but I felt like if the other person hasn't read the same book, you'll get rejected as they are using traditional methods
Now that I´m opened to talk about it, find out my real issue, I´ve played this video and I´ll think about the topics... it makes a lot of sense. I´ll try to read the book as well. Tks.
Thank you Ali
Just out of curiosity: Where does one get one of these "dates" that you talk about?
Good tips on focusing on the experiential part of it.
Thanks ali
Congratulations!
Great video
cant wait to meet her!!!
So when do we get the wedding video?
what an interesting but also lovely video 😆
Literally the only thing that’s ever been on my checklist is they they like me as much as I like them. I’m yet to even find friends that like me as much I I like them. I might just be destined to be alone at this point
Thank you once again Ali and Team! Raza :)
pls ali even luv comes to your life with tips nd productivity man chill
So happy for you! Burning question: are you going to introduce us to your future wife?
Can I have the reference list please 😁
