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.

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

Instant gratification is so tempting. That immediate satisfaction from things like sugary foods, video games, netflix, porn, drugs, feels fantastic. But let's face it, it often leads to regret and terrible long-term consequences. You've probably heard that those who prioritize delayed gratification tend to be more successful, healthier, and happier overall. But how do they do it? And more importantly, how can you do it too? Let's dive into a concept called hyperbolic discounting. Essentially, it's our tendency to favor smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed rewards. Sound familiar? I ..read more
