Have you ever wondered what sets successful men apart from burger flippers?

If it’s possible, there’s likely a book about it somewhere. Today, we’re looking at becoming more … Read more

Dating a controlling person can be suffocating. It feels like everywhere you turn, you’re making a wrong move.

Worse still, controlling partners will tell you that what they’re doing (controlling you) is “love.” But … Read more

Being an introvert and trying online dating is often likened to a doomed mission. Dating is an extrovert’s game.

We have all heard about men who married women who just walked out the door. In many cases, it came as a shock to the men who were left. They knew they weren’t putting in much effort, but they never thought it’d be bad enough to make the girl want to leave them. Regardless of … Read more

New relationships are confusing and often stressful, but they don’t have to be. The core problem is that most men spend the early months (or even years) of new relationships acting in the way they want to, based on how they feel they should act. They act based on what they think they know about … Read more

You’ve heard the saying probably hundreds of times by now: “Nice guys finish last.” Do nice guys really miss out when it comes to dating? Is being a nice guy so bad? You’re not going to like the answer. It’s not a great experience to be a nice guy. Most nice guys do finish last. … Read more

Most men never reach their potential. They fall short of who they want to be and live mediocre lives. Even the “best” of us — the ones standing at 6’4, walking around with washboard abs, a beautiful girlfriend by their side, working high-paying jobs, and meeting all the typical standards for “a good life” — … Read more
