I had joined a men's group a few years ago. It's a big, well known one where I live. I've seen several positive comments about it in this sub. I had a slightly bad experience. I know a lot of people in other "chapters" of the same men's group. From what I've heard each chapter is different. I'd like to give it a second chance, especially where I'm at now in life. Some of the parts I liked were goal settings, accountability and being around men with a growth oriented mindset who were into self development. Things I didn't like were sometimes it felt people were squabbling about technicalities ..read more

Hollywood and other forms of popular media (love songs, stories, etc.) has programmed men to believe that women are the ultimate prize. In a typical love story, if a man goes on a journey that bends his will, the reward is the love of a beautiful woman. This journey often involves a form of self-sacrifice from the man, who is willing to endure hardship and pain to win her over. This is a completely unrealistic dynamic in real life. If a guy thinks of a woman unattainable, and gets nervous to even be in her presence, how is she supposed to feel? Of course it’s going to make her feel unsafe aro ..read more

There will be a period where she pulls back. How hold frame and not get rattled. When a guy starts dating a woman he likes, it’s usually a straight forward process from his point of view.

They have chemistry, they like each other. They go on dates, hook up. Guy is excited, he thinks he’s found “the one”. Suddenly, she goes cold. She takes longer to respond, her answers are shorter and less enthusiastic to talk to him. He’s utterly ..read more

Are you enamored with the actual person, or just the IDEA of them? You might just be projecting your romantic hopes and fantasies onto them. One of the most critical mistakes guys make in dating is that they put certain women on a pedestal. In their eyes, she’s no longer a human being with flaws, but a fantasy where she can do no wrong. This is not only unfair to the woman, but to the guy as well. This is real life, not Hollywood. Remember that she is a person too, not a gateway to a romantic life you’ve always dreamed of. Get to know her, know your worth as well. The more you put someone ..read more
