    When I was 15, I wanted a girlfriend. A pretty girl, "arm candy". I found her but, she had no passion. So, at 19, I found an incredibly beautiful lass that had all the passion a man could desire but, she wasn't very smart. Then at 28 I found a great girl... beautiful, passionate, smart with exceptional communication skills. She was an attorney. I married her. Two years later she took me to court, divorced me and took everything that I owned. Now, I just want a girl with big tits.

    All i see is a sea of Red Flags. I am so jaded after all the walking on egg shells and being what my ex's wanted me to be. Single for 10 years and there is no going back, the freedom is priceless. I was a merchant seaman all my life and i honestly believe it has been a natural transition because i am very comfortable being alone. Thinking back all of my relationships were a pain in the butt, i don't miss any of them.

      After my 1st wife walked on me, i “though” I learned a few things! and took that to My 2nd married.
      Big mistake
      Wife #2 “checked out” after 5 years….. but kept living In my home for 12 more years until she found the right guy to
      Monkey branch to.
      Supporting her for 17 years and then fighting in divorce courts to keep what’s mine cost me $800,000. Ugh all the rental Properties investments I wish I had instead!
      Not a millionaire anymore thanks to investing in wife #2’s businesses. They all crashed ams burned and all that equity lost was all the equity of 1 of my businesses!
      I invested in my wife because I wanted to help her launch and feel happy about being successful
      Hoping they would make her happy
      Oh hell no
      If a women is not happy, nothing will change that.
      If a man try’s to make a women happy with his wealth, haha he is a fool, like I was.
      Now-a-days after 5 years after my endless covid extended 2nd divorce, my life has been #MGTOW.

    Best green flags for me when I’m pursuing a relationship or friendship with women are:
    * Meekness and shyness in the way that she is humble does not want to be the centre of attention, this show virtue and humility.
    * Another green flag is a lover of books over a lover of instagram. Shows that she can be alone in her company and a drive to explore and learn even in the confides of her own imagination.This is great is you want kids with her.
    *The ability to understand and see and admit her own contradictions, faults, and hypocrisies. This show self reflection and loss of unneeded pride.
    * Her not having debt, especially student loan debt. This shows she is smart and wise with money and not easily swayed by authority figures and mass media. It well know that women hold majority of student debt.

My ex had spirituality, role models, self-development interests, experience with children among other things (from John's list) but, in my opinion, a lot of these are sort of virtue signal devices at their best.

      For women, a lot of these would just be an addendum and might as well be a _nice to have_ list behind the man's career, prestige and potential, etc.. Another green flag is if she clearly has a long and demonstrated history to having the same attitude toward spending as you. As frankly an extremely responsible person isn't supposed to balance an irresponsible person and expect that to be fruitful rather than a burden (perhaps for both people).

And which I strongly suspect may at least partially explain why she and dad managed to stay together for almost 60 years. Mom loved everything from opera to babies, to animals, to shooting the breeze with the ladies who hand out free samples at Costco,to far eastern religion and mysticism to the Dali Lama to poetry, to shopping at Goodwill and the list goes on and on.

I have a great relationship with her mother who lives with us and my teen age step sons (non tension), but the emotional immaturity and out of balance with internal locos of control of my wife has been profoundly destructive. Of course, I've paid for everything for 4 years (800K more in expenditures above my prior budget due to the relationship).

John's advice aligns perfectly with my life experiences so i wouldn't dismiss any of it lightly.
    The question im wondering now is how long before women start flooding this channel to learn what the good men are looking for. It would be nice to see it and hopefully happens.

    Animals is NOT automatic green. It can be misplaced love because she can't love or calm herself. Think comfort Animals, that is a red flag, because you are her second comfort animal.
    That said, animal for empathy is green.
    Just saying love for animals is tricky. I wouldn't use it for green or red flag since it's tricky.

    The locus of control is a big one. When I met my girl who later became my wife, she had lived a rather protected and crisis-free life. As a result, she never developed the coping mechanisms in dealing with life’s ups and downs. She would fall apart whenever things didn’t quite go as planned, get belligerent and proceed to blame everyone and everything but herself. She did outgrow it, but it took a LOT of patience on my part. In the end, I have a wonderful wife (30 years and going strong) who is much more resilient to the bumps in the road than she was when I first met her. Would it have been easier to have the locus of control software preloaded? Sure would be, but at least she did come around.

    I mostly agree to the green flags, I have about 20. But that is a guy that is 51 and it's good advise for older men that have found those answers. But a young man doesn't typically have that maturity from his own failures. I have a new neighbor that is 30 and a pilot in the military. Thin fit young man that has a good head on his shoulders. I tell him to take it slow and I gave him the book " the rational male " for better understanding of human nature. I send him these videos to assist him in his questions.
    It's funny, my 2nd ex wife hit most of the green flags, but the one that is specific was how she should be with her kids with a step dad. She was training her kids to not respect me as they grew older and they had seen the divide. She want them protected and I was teaching the to be independent. As older men, we will date mothers, and how they treat a man around their children, can be a flag on its own(green or red). It was what separated us. Not our relationship that her and I had, but the relationship with the kids I raised that were not mine. I did not see that one coming. Still love my ex wife, but she was a poor supporter of the rules and confidence that I was teaching young men. It's always what we learn when in a relationship shows us the flags we need to see.😊

    In any event I'm not totally surprised. I know who she is I think and she's not long-term. But she's fun now...
    ✅ Religious & spiritual
    ✅ Good family relationships (but not with either parent)
    ✅ Emotionally mature
    Is it enough? With no mentor, absent father & clingy dependent mother, no real hobbies, no experience with (and possible aversion to) children, and differing though not wildly different view on our family future... ya, probably not.

    The sister of the girlfriend of my oldest son told me that she is going to work with animals only, she doesn't want a job which involves dealing with people. She intends to dedicate her life to "saving animals". She is 19 and pretty, I'm 59 and wouldn't want to spend a day with her, because of her lack of empathy.

    I can't quite agree on everything that is said in this video.
    If someone loves animals that doesn't necessarily mean that they are any better than any other person. There is plenty of people that love animals but don't like people as much for example. Still probably a good tell if someone is abusing animals - you can expect the similar treatment if not the same. But loving animals means loving animals first and foremost. I wouldn't bet on that when it comes to commitment between two people.
    I am split about the parents part as well. I get it, of course. I agree that good relations with parents and siblings is a green flag. Still I cannot shake the feeling that it isn't right to automatically 'judge' someone's character if the person has bad relations with their parents. Can you expect the person to carry on bad interpersonal patterns? Most certainly. Can people learn and change? I believe so. Is a bad relationship with a parent (or both parents) their fault? Who knows. I'd abstain from making this judgement.
    I love the 'internal locus of control' part and I'd put it front and center: If someone cannot find joy in the way things already are, best to stay away. The only catch-22 with this is : If someone is truly at peace with oneself - why add anyone else to that or change it in any way? Life is a mystery, gents. Amor fati.

Then, at age 37 I decided to settle down and got married to a covert narcissist. I went through pure he77 for the majority of our 17 year marriage and I'm still licking my wounds and its been 5 years since I divorced her. However, you hit the nail on the head when you said women used to respect and look up to men and in reverse, we wanted to provide, care for and love them. Without respect, there is nothing.

    Hello, John. Nice video. I believe you are 100% right, and those points are incredibly accurate and necessary. I would put emotional maturity at the top of the list as number one. While I was listening to each point, I thought to myself, maybe we should title this episode “She Doesn’t Exist.” 😂 I’m kidding-I think she does, but man, I’d rather spend the rest of my life alone. If I eventually stumble upon her, I would probably accept, but this list is so real and so true. I understand why, when you’re 16, 18, or 20, it’s better to have no idea what you’re doing in order to mate. If I had come across this list earlier in my life, it would have implied that I needed to grow to discern each aspect. Anyway, it’s a good list. Thank you again

    You said your wife looked so good like a model or did modelling. That is the worst wife material just good looks. Such women usually are narcissistic and selfish. My observations are women who are modest looking and behaving without bright and revealing clothes with no loud behaviour or princess traits. Very important she comes from a good family where both parents are together and her father is respected in the family. When you are dating her she let's you decide about things and not tells you what to do. The truth however is women like these are so rare and usually already snatched at young age that it is becoming less sensible to even bother searching for one. If one can't find a kind submessive woman solitude appears next best thing😊 Much better it seems than living with a selfish contentious woman. Simps are usually afraid to live alone as they are so used to having a boss around😂

    I have to respectfully disagree on the "animal lover" thing. I've met a lot of women (and men) who fall into this category who are not good people. Many times, they have issues building healthy relationships with other people and gravitate towards animals (primarily dogs) since there is far less work required to form a bond. My motto, based on my life experience and rational thinking is, being a pet owner doesn't make you a good person, nor does not wanting pets in your life make you a bad person. There are far more important and more complex things to consider regarding the quality of someone's character.

    Sir, regarding your comment about younger men, there is a massive disconnect between the below 30 generation and the above 30... a friend of mine had said: "they're tiktok brains"... they just swipe at the slightest moment for any or no reason. They treat men across them like a 5 second Tiktok video which is why their behaviour is evil and perceived to be so... they cannot differentiate between a social media video human and a human in real life as they grew up with it... unlike us who met social media after we lived in the offline world of human connection... I've dealt with above 30s and below 30s even 19-22s and 20 years ago they would be locked in a mental asylum... and many many.... all real life, all met at cafes, at bookshops and the sort... Younger women have been destroyed by Tiktok... They are nothing like the 20 year olds I met 20 years ago... Their outlook to life is like a brain mush in general... are there outliers? I'm sure there are... but it's like finding a unicorn...

      Hey glad someone said it. If you are old and out of the game, they have very little room to be talking on dating.
      Are there some decent women? Sure. The vast majority isn't it though.
      Its why 60% of men that age are single.
      1/2 of that want a relationship but aren't in a position to get one, and rhe other 1/2 realize what a crapshow it is.
      You basically have to be born lucky in a community that has value now so you meet a girl that was raised right as a young man to have any hopes of finding someone decent.
      The vast majority of guys will not be able to have a relationship with a woman who has green flags, simply because there aren't many women with green flags anymore.
      Its why the math is fun. If only 30% of women were decent, that means at best 30% of men can get an actual decent relationship.
      So 70% of men would not find a decent woman no matter what.
      And its very much reflected in what we see today.
      So more and more men are opting out entirely.

    Take care with the animal lover as a green flag. Many girls use animals as a source of narcissistic supply. Taking care of an animal is much easier than a person that may call you out for your bad behaviour. A lot of women also have them as an accessory. Tread carefully, my ex was kind and head over heels in love with her dogs until their care became more complex. The care and love shown may be a covering for covert traits. Having said this I still think it’s a green flag indication worth taking into consideration.

It’s much more likely with the Pena experience in the future will be multiple times more than what you experience now if you just ended it. Because in the future commitment to her will have increased significantly. You might even have children with her. And then she will take you for all your money and she will probably cheat on you.

      You seriously need therapy for your problematic childhood and other issues. It is a psychological "law" that we unconsciously are living under the condition of repetition compulsion. You are burnt but attracted to fire...
      This means that the soul wants to develop, grow, and be free to become what it is meant to be. But we got hurt, misdirected, and stopped under way, by certain important people (like parents) and certain circumstances that have been too hard to escape. These were so difficult to stand, so they didn't come fully clear to us. Then, later, we get attracted to, or create, other relationships and circumstances, where we perhaps have a chance to overcome what was so difficult, as a chance to learn anew and redeem us. Regrettably that is not so easy on our own - therapy can help to realize the patterns and find solutions. It is not about being mentally ill, but learning how to handle situations which have been too ovewhelming, for us at that time in the past. You can become free from being spell-bound...
      If you know of problems like forms of abuse and addictions in your life, there might be groups you could join for some first steps in new and healthy directions. Give yourself permission to take it slow and learn and develop your inner strength and wisdom, slowly but surely. I wish you all the best, keep watching the world and people with those clear eyes, and keep questioning what doesn't match your core values.

    The other thing to bear in mind is if this woman has lived with multiple men in the past, she has been preconditions to think a certain way and all the guys that have passed through her life have put there ideas and thoughts into her mind, so now she thinks like them and they could be complete maniacs, so stay away from women that have lived with a lot of different guys.

    No woman is a finished product. A husband must be his wife's mentor. A husband must be fatherly and show paternalistic, compassionate, merciful love to his wife if he wants her to love him. He must be the man in her heart. A husband is like a father to his wife; this was the patriarchy.

      Agreed 100%. Although I think you should do these things because it is the right thing. Not to convince her to love you.

    5 weeks is much too quick, one of the greatest things in life is romance and the pursuance of a woman, at least 3 months before you sleep with her. And it really should be 6 months, that way you extend the enjoyment, because once you have sex with a woman everything changes.

    This is the best video of yours I have seen so far. It is very well balanced and even the light is perfect fot the subject and your intonation of it. Don`t you think. I am glad that you are not sarcastic or dissapointed, but constructive, becasue there ARE good women and deeply happy marages, although so fiew that I dont know them. =) Greetings from Croatia.

      Thanks! It was kind of hard to get the lighting right because the sun was low in the sky. So I had to keep moving around to find it while I was shooting the video. Thanks for noticing.
