How To Become More Attractive To Your Wife Or Girlfriend

2023/11/23

There’s a myth that many guys believe: that looks, status, or wealth are the keys to a lasting relationship. But this isn’t true. And if you fall for that myth, you’ll wind up in a loveless and eventually boring and sexless relationship. While these attributes might have created that initial spark of attraction for each other, as your relationship matures, other attributes become much more important. In fact, I call these attributes the “Four P’s.” Besides keeping the fire alive in your long-term

2023/11/16

Men have been told for generations that feeling or showing their sadness is a sign of weakness. This myth has misled entire generations of men to suppress their sadness. And nothing has led to men being more isolated, lonely, and disconnected—from themselves and others—than this toxic myth. Why? Because suppressing emotions like sadness deprives you of the very love and connection you yearn for. In fact, sadness is the gateway to love. And fearing emotions like sadness keeps us locked away from

Most guys see their emotions—both positive and negative—as a sign of weakness and root cause of sabotage. This leads them to take one of two approaches to their emotions: Either they repress their emotions entirely, fooling themselves into believing everything’s fine when it’s not, causing resentment and passive aggressive behavior. Or they take the opposite approach: Unbridled self-expression of their emotions, which leads to angry outbursts and regret. Here’s the unfortunate truth: Both of

If you’re an achiever, you probably prioritize growth over everything else. You set goals for the distant future that you think will make you happy and fulfilled – goals that can only be achieved after dedicating long hours of grueling work and sacrificing your happiness in the short-term. But here’s the problem: When you finally achieve these long-term goals, you’ll realize they haven’t given you lasting happiness or fulfillment. Because society has sold you on the idea that the unenjoyable grind

Do you feel like the people in your life push you around? Like your voice and opinions don’t matter? Or that other people frequently take advantage of you? Well, here’s the cold, hard truth: Unless you're comfortable with being assertive, you'll just end up being a doormat.

An Ode To Ken From The Barbie Movie

After reviewing the Barbie movie, many listeners wrote angry emails and comments to me. They didn’t like the way the Kens were treated in the movie, but I did. In fact, I saw Ken as the hero in the movie. Why? Well, years ago, after discovering my girlfriend of 5 years cheated on me, I stood on the 57th floor of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel looking down trying to jump. Even though I didn’t, I let my rage and hatred consume me. Because of this rage and hatred I felt, the Red Pill world appealed to

The “Fixer Mindset” plagues every nice guy who can’t seem to even talk to an attractive lady, let alone start a relationship with her. If you continue letting this broken mindset subconsciously guide you, it can end in complete catastrophe: Like bending over backwards for an ex who still lives with you, and starts bringing new guys into your apartment. This happens more often than you’d think. Why? Well, if you haven’t overcome your early childhood traumas, then you’ll subconsciously recreate

Did you see the latest Jonah Hill controversy with his ex-girlfriend? She shared their text exchange on Instagram, and while they both brought up some good therapeutic points, each of them handled the situation in a poor manner for varying reasons. Since many listeners have written in wondering what I thought about this exchange, I figured I’d dedicate an entire episode to it. What Jonah did wrong, what he did right, and what he should’ve done in this situation if he was fully mature through his

Just because you haven't found love or a successful relationship doesn't mean those two things don’t exist. Yet, this is one of the many myths the Red Pill movement tricks you into believing. The truth? The truth is that the Red Pill community reeks of immature masculinity, marinating in suffering. Inside of everyone fooled by the Red Pill is a little boy who just wants unconditional love. But instead of using the pain to break past your own barriers, the Red Pill dupes you into creating more

Listeners and fans have written in for quite a while now wondering what my opinions are about the Red Pill movement, which was largely inspired by Rollo Tomassi’s book, The Rational Male. The Rational Male and the Red Pill movement tries to teach guys how to be “alpha.” But there’s a big, fat problem with this ideology: It’s filled with bitter resentment: Towards “alphas.” Towards women. And worst of all? Towards yourself. In this episode, my friend and men’s coach, Steve Mayeda, and I reveal

There’s been considerable backlash about the Barbie movie from both critics and listeners of my show. The problem? Well, most of the criticism comes from certain types of men. In fact, I had to search the darkest corners of the internet just to find a negative review of Barbie that made a decent point. And believe it or not, this fact could explain why they don’t understand women, have no luck attracting them, and can’t create a thriving relationship (even if you have a great desire for one).

If you really want a relationship, then I have bad news: Most guys aren’t ready for a relationship yet. And even if you somehow find a relationship and experience success within it, there’s a good chance that you’ll sabotage the relationship—causing heartache and pain and divorce. So, how can you tell whether you’re ready for a relationship or not?

A listener recently wrote in and asked the question: “Do women want a dominant, aggressive and masculine man in long term relationships or do they prefer men with emotions?” Now, there are a lot of different angles to attack this question, and I hit on the major ones in this episode. But the simple fact of asking this question means the listener committed a sin of sexual attractiveness, which will undermine his success with women. What’s this sexual attractiveness sin?

Why You're Likely A Lot Needier Than You Think

Most guys are a lot needier than they think because neediness reveals itself in hidden ways. For example, the simple act of worrying if you’re attractive is a tell-tale sign of neediness that flies over most guys' heads. But women have a sixth sense for identifying neediness. And nothing will make them feel as disgusted as hanging around a needy man. Here’s why I bring it up: Many listeners of the show write in to ask me about crying in front of women.

Have you ever heard “nice guys finish last?” Imagine this: you’re super nice, know how to flirt with women, but after months of talking to an attractive woman, you get rejected. It always seems to go well until you fall in love with her, only to have it spat back in your face. Most men after years of being the “nice guy” are fed up (and rightly so.) They decide to become an alpha male. They go to the gym, learn “game”, try their hand at pick-up artistry, and for a few dates they’re successful. But
