    He has a point. I am a teacher, and I have worked with many challenging students in my years. One day I changed the students' desks around, and I unintentionally sat a boy, who was challenging, next to a hard-working girl that he had a crush on. I didn't realize I did this. The boy's behavior changed immediately. He started focusing and completing his assignments. This was 4th grade. I was shocked by this.

      That's horseshit if I've ever heard of it.
      React and feel how you want but I'm calling you out on that it's not true.
      Mixed schools are better for everyone. In fact I think segregated schools are immoral and cause long lasting issues in people, and should have been outlawed long ago.

      True and I don’t get why we do this it doesn’t make sense everyone have different struggles and will look differently you can’t put a imagine on someone you meet. It’s creating something you can’t reach sometimes I think you should accept someone with their flaws cause you most likely have them. I have this idea for myself and anyone I’m dating I can’t judge you for your looks and insult some things you like and talk down your flaws. Cause you being afraid of being alone is the same thing I feel so just cause I’m not openly telling you this I’m most likely feeling this.

      Yeah the point is to get your priorities set in stone and what values you desire in someone else and well be the one to mirror the same values..you seek..i believe with strong conviction yeah there needs to be mutual attraction whatever form it may be..but for sure the physical is by far the least reliable
      ..because looks can be decieving...imo..and one must learn to set boundaries because no one is perfect..i learned the hard way. Not everything is personal..(social media) like its hard not to feel like an option in this modern world. People stay in touch with exes. Slip up names and well create unnecessary confusion and insecurtiy . So its very important to be valuable ourselves..and hold others to those very values we need..to thrive..and trust.

      This is interesting to me. I know a guy who said he did this and he (in his mind) of course got a no and rejected. He went on asking more girls he liked and got rejected.
      It scarred him to the point that he had a rule that he would never ask a girl out in person again. Turned out he had tons of female admirers. Women who wanted him to ask them out but they never did. Sadly his prior rejections made him feel he was ugly somehow which was far from true.
      He decided to go on a dating app and was actually bombarded by tons of likes and messages in just a short span of a few weeks. Yet because he only remembered being rejected, he still kept thinking he wasn't very attractive. When I spoke of this to other dates I had, they said "he literally doesn't know it but he's the mythical top 1% that they speak of in dating apps. Because most men on the apps actually get significantly fewer responses"

      The one I grew up with was about apples. Something about the apples at the top of the tree are the ones that are hard to reach but it will be worth getting those ones as apposed to picking the ones off the floor which are easy to reach but the apples there are already rotten. So if you don’t have many men chasing, it could be that you’re a hard to reach apple and that shouldn’t discourage you and make you feel like you should make yourself more readily available otherwise you’ll fall from the tree and become one of the ground apples that get picked up frequently.

    Biggest fault of men, seeing a woman and thinking she is the dream woman. That creates pressure. No, she is an absolut average woman at first sight. She has to prove through dating, if she is your dream woman, that transfers the pressure to her or at least away from you. And if you fall in love with her, than she becomes the dream woman.

      It's OK to change your mind about something, though. When new evidence comes to light, you *should* revise your old beliefs; consistency in and of itself isn't necessarily something to aspire to. I think there is such a thing as eternal wisdom but it should still be questioned now and then.

      Of course women fear rejection. All humans fear rejection.
      But consider how unbalanced it is to ask all men to take on this risk of soul shattering rejection... While all women sit back and judge the men that have the guts to come try to talk to them.
      If men are expected to take that risk, then women should be expected to bend over backwards to try and make their rejection as palatable as possible.
      And it's worse than that even... Because the statistics is that women consider 80% of men to be below average.
      So their standards are set to reject most men.
      So women moan and whine about thier being no good men, when they are ignoring the bulk of the make population. They pine only for the upper 20% of men. The handsome, the wealthy, etc.
      So while I sympathize with women... They are not at all blameless in this.

      And yes, the sacrifice Peterson talks about is real, and it is made by both partners. The man loses the dream of perfection, because you are not perfect. And you lose the dream of a pursuing white knight, because the man who sees you for what you are (imperfect) will react to you differently than a man who believes (inaccurately) that you are perfect.

It requires courage, but how else can someone regard you as a true goddess if you only reveal your face value?

    One of the most helpful things for me to realize, as stupid as it may sound, is simply that women are people too. As in the same way men are.
    The only female in my life that I had any type of real relationship with growing up was my mother. And being my mother she really didn't count in terms of helping me to understand the opposite sex. I had a fair amount of trauma and rejection early in life. Given my experiences early in life I had a warped perspective of women that was total BS. In my mind I put them on a pedestal. I was needy too, so I really did fear rejection.
    Once I got my perspective straight, and experienced some healing, the fear of rejection, etc. went away.
    So, I think the degree of fear a male has towards females is a reflection of how out of line the male's perspective is, and/or how whole they are emotionally.
    A guy who is comfortable in his own skin and with his place in the world is not going to be terrified of being rejected by a woman. That's not to say he would like the rejection, but he would have the perspective to recognize that the rejection wasn't necessarily indicative of a deficiency with himself. Despite any disappointment, he would move on, looking forward to find somebody where the attraction was mutual.

      While I do believe that feeling love during giving it may be important and can change a relationship significantly, there is also the factor of reciprocation, and we all have a right to that. We shouldn’t give love and at the same time, allow ourselves to be taken advantage of or be used. True love can only become a relationship if it is first accepted, and it can only be a true relationship if the love is reciprocated. People who don’t receive that reciprocation properly or are wronged do have the perspective of ‘I gave you my whole life’, and they are justified to that, at least to a certain extent. Everything afterwards is a case by case scenario. At the end of the day, people and situations are different, and all cases can occur.

      MY-PHILOSOPHY:"INNER-STRENGTH"
      I have found that simply "loving myself" (inner-child) is a powerful tool against most types of social-dependency/vulnerability.
      .............................
      "Evil" is the antithesis to the virtue: 'humanity'. Humanity is the characteristic that defines the human spirit. Humanity is symbiosis across humans and society. 'Humanity' exceeds 'social-darwinism'.
      .............................
      NEURO-PERSONALITY
      .............................
      "SENSORY-FEELERS" ARE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING DISINFORMATION AND HATE TOWARDS ENTJ/INTJ (AGAINST "THINKERS" IN GENERAL)-BOTH IRL AND ON THE INTERNET; DESPITE THOSE NEURO-PERSONALITY TYPES BEING A BLESSING TO SOCIETY AND ALL OF MANKIND! THEY DESERVE BETTER! 😤
      'ESFJ', 'ESFP', ISFP and 'ISFJ' are a pathogen to humanity, and 'then' Cluster-B (depending on their neuro-personality).
      THEIR "FEELINGS 'IS' THEIR REALITY", THEY ALSO HAVE A MALICIOUS-MIND BY DEFAULT (low 'mirror-neurons' results in "SOCIOPATHIC-FEELER"; full of pathological hate, and highly chaotic).
      WHAT'S MORE, DESPITE HAVING MALICIOUS INTENT THEY ARE ALL EMOTIONALLY-WEAK AND PRONE TO COVERT/VULNERABLE-NARCISSISM (ISFJ especially; they impersonate and spread hate towards genuine INFJs).
      ...............................
      Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality').
      I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)!
      European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!!
      They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-r@pe, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till.
      xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert/vulnerable-narcissists.
      ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism).
      Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet; while ESFJ-9W1 superficially appears like an ENFJ, they have different 'neurology' and psychology. Both XSFJ are superficial by nature and perceive reality at face-value/surface level.
      SUMMARY
      Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler). ESFJ-9W1 superficially resembles ENFJ; different 'neurology' and psychology.
      [Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ).
      ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil).
      Spread the word! Thank you.
      ___________
      Research ref: Raudha Athif, Ghislaine Maxwell, Marilyn Monroe, Karen, ESFJ-narcissists, ESFJ-neurology, Gaslighting, Amber Heard, Fake feminism, Rising of a shield hero (Malty-'ESFJ'; XSFX spread disinformation online. ISFJ is the main culprit, i.e. ISFJ largely perceive things on the surface level, and with malicious intent ISFJ impersonate others). Please research 'Brood-parasitism’- XSFJ natural psychology..

      Furthermore the commoditization of relationships due to neoliberalism and capitalism exacerbates the divide between men and women and the lack of communication. Also what Peterson is talking about here? That’s not helpful nor is it fact-based. He’s basically trying to paint women as some kind of… Romantic ideal instead of a human being.

    This happened to me too. I am a woman and when I was a teenager I would have this ideal, intimidating image of some guy I saw and barely even spoke to. It would terrify me and make me super conscious in front of that other person. I wouldn't even be able to speak to them or would likely avoid them. Because I would have this image that they are something greater than me and I would feel the need to be perfect in front of them and make them like me. ( prolly a need for validation lol) But as I got to know them better, it would make me look at them as another human being with their share of flaws and goodness and it would make me so much more comfortable around that person and put my mind at ease. And I would so much rather see them as an actual person with all their flaws and good qualities together than see them as something superior and superficial. It would make me like the person more for who they are genuinely. This was a weird phase that I went through and still struggle with sometimes on a rare occasions. Anyone else been there? xD

They think they don't have anything to offer to such women, that they are not worthy. And it's not that they don't provide anything, it's just that it is not enough for such an ideal woman. So, asking yourself what you can offer is not a solution to this, because a common man cannot possibly offer enough to an ideal.

    That way in my mind I allowed the young girl to be free to choose or reject as to her personal taste - and - didn't kick myself in the teeth over the rejection. After all, I was pretty discriminating in who I was attracted too also!! So why expect others not to be???

      In my teens, I learned that; the prettier the woman is, the LESS men talk to her. Men lack the confidence and self esteem to talk to the most beautiful of women. I would go to social events and find the most attractive woman there and get her to talk about herself. I would purposely withhold information about myself, and always redirect the conversation back to her. Doing that, I became mysterious and interesting. Women LOVE to talk. I let them talk about themselves. Then, when I know I had her; I would ignore her and act aloof. Eventually, they would chase me, some to the point of obsession. You should see my wife.....

One kept cheating on me with the same guy and even after I told her to leave me for him, she wouldn't, but still cheated. I still don't hate her, but I always do wonder why she did that. Most of the other girls just say "you're a good guy but I don't like you that way". I'm fully aware I'm not particularly good looking, I'm not rich, but I would like to think I'm a good person, with my fair share of flaws, but I'm used to being rejected or abandoned.
      Similar things have happened to my brother. He dated a girl for years but she left him for a guy who made more money than him.
      You guys are right, men do reject women, but men in general get rejected even more. Take a look at any dating app. I'm from India and it's the same on matrimonial sites, most women want a guy who is good looking and makes more money than them.
      Funnily enough, pretty much every girl I meet in person ends up turning me into their big brother, I don't even remember all exception to that. It used to bother me, but it doesn't anymore. I guess I lose in the looks department or maybe they see something wrong with me that I don't and I wish someone told me what that is. But no one has and I'm used to being alone now. It hurts, but that's life.

Because we expect to receive something, whether we get it or not will have some emotional impact on us as a result. Yet if we don’t expect anything but just let events flow in their natural ways, where would a rejection come from. Yeah, I always go on dates without any expectations, and it had helped me to protect my emotions quite efficiently.

It's more of a risk for women. That's why some women are reluctant more so. It's a risk that takes an emotional toll. Guys on the other hand are pretty basic) simple. We don't in general get emotionally invested in a woman until there is an actual relationship that involves more than good sex. And then, again, some guys aren't so sure what they want. They have feelings to, which is a little foreign to most when young. And they aren't going to easily share those feelings with you, the woman, or talk to their friends like you women folk do. That's the truth. If a woman wants a complete relationship with a man, she better bring more to the table than sex, spending money, and crying. Men aren't designed to be monogomous.

I wasn't good looking, didn't care about makeup or dressing up, I guess he liked the bookish type. His friends didn't like me, and would pressure him into bullying me, like many others. Eventually he bent, and would call me ugly and weird, made my school years even worse. What happened next doesn't matter.

    Great clip! I needed to hear this. When I had to turn someone down, due to time constraints or not being attracted to them, I'm so glad I was very kind in the way I did it.

    Thanks for the honesty and insight. It's pretty much impossible for a man to be completely honest with me about what he TRULY wants.

      Maybe cause he knows, that he cant get, what he wants. He wants a prostituite for free, he wants a mother, he wants a servant, he wants a friend and the best mother for his kids.

    This is exactly what I thought. I am a girl and I told him I created an unrealistic manifestation of him in my head and to break it, I need to get to know him better. Well, I mean I certainly embarrassed myself like hell in the process but still am proud I atleast said it

      The closest one I can think of is Marissa Peer maybe? Just because she talks about evolutionary psychology in a similar way but even that’s a reach. But just in general most psychologists don’t come close to Jordan Peterson, I can’t even think of another male psychologist that’s on his level.
