I recently read an article from a Psychologist/Counsellor who stated that of the thousands of people she'd counselled over 30+yrs she'd found that Men were almost always willing to change to become a better Man if it would help to save their marriage/relationship. However, in all that time she wrote that only 5 Women had arranged to seek counselling with her to save their marriage/relationship, of the 5 women 3 cancelled on the day and the other 2 were a no show. Her conclusion was that Men are willing to change but Women will never change because they see no need to, they see themselves as complete just by existing. This toxic attitude has been promoted heavily by feminists and the main stream media who keep portraying women as smart and men as dumb, and then wonder why there is a relationship crisis in American the English speaking West.

Man I wish I had you as my mentor, I felt like a failure most of my life and nobody really cared to help me. Your videos give me hope that I can be confident and make a great change. You deserve way more subscribers
Thanks man. I wasnt confident either, I became one. Its actually not hard to do. I will make a video on how to become confident, and instead of explaining what it takes to become confident I will give you certain exercises. If you complete those exercises, I promise you, you will become the most confident man in the world. But those exercises are hard to do.
You should not base your life on someones videos mate. Go out here and love life. Pick up an out going hobby. Rock climbing, paragliding, base jumping, salsa dancing. Whatever. Just do something somewhat social and fun

Years ago,I dated a former Penthouse model.She was beautiful,but wanted me to provide the bs lifestyle she once had.I told her she was too old for that now.She broke up with me,and her descent began

I've dated lots of women in my life and finally experienced what you are describing: a smart woman who unfortunately used her intelligence to be toxic and combative, creating arguments out of nothing. We dated briefly and I broke up with her because I realized that no amount of sex with a hot woman was worth that. For another video, I'm wondering if you can make a video on women who are afraid of commitment, as they are very common in the dating scene!
I am a woman. I really enjoy your videos because they teach me about my dark nature that I've been only semi aware of. Here are my thoughts/experience related to these topics. I do recognise myself in some of these traits. And for the record, I've never enjoyed these traits. These traits were especially present in my younger years from 18 to 25. I would always pick fights with my boyfriend. Always look for reasons for him NOT being good enough, not doing enough and not loving me enough. He was definitely an alpha. Somehow he managed to handle me for about 5 years. I was jealous of his male friends, his female friends, I was jealous if he went travelling without me. I was even jealous of his time spending on video games. I wanted attention all. The. Time. After we broke up I realised he was the best freaking man in the world. I had exhausted him. I didnt act like this on purpose. I was very wounded from my childhood. Controlling and stressed mother. Absent father. I was insecure, depressed and totally reliant on him. I think it was a combination of obsession, codependency involved. Later on I met a perhaps weaker man, more of a Beta man. In this relationship I became extremely controlling and mean to him. He was always around. Always available. Never did anything without me. I ended up cheating. In this relationship the control stem from me being scared that he couldnt do things. I didnt feel safe. The rest of my bad behaviour was boredom and me being very immature, lacking integrity and respect for my man. Ive been single for 3 years now. Reflecting on all my disastrous relationships. I am working more and more on this. I want to allow men to be the leader. Im sick of life working a fulltime stressful job, driving, fixing my car on my own, making all of the decisions on my own.. life without a man is horrible. But still. Evem With this awereness. I still catch myself going on dates with men, analyzing them, judging their hobbies, expecting them to pay/do everything for me, constantly looking for reasons that they are not good enough... It freaking sucks and its not fun being this way. Its not like I intentionally wake up and decide to be a manipulative bitch.. and no I do definitely do not think the "chase"/game is fun. Im really scared to get involved with someone who cant take care of a potential baby. F.ex. a lazy man, a man who lacks empathy etc etc. However, I KNOW most men are eligible, my fear sometimes is just so strong that I believe none are.
My previous ex-gf was exactly like this. It was extremely energy draining during my 4 years relationship with her. Whenever I try to lead or give her advice (especially advice she has asked for), she would say nothing but give me this condescending arrogant face with a "know it all" kind of attitude. Eventually, it got to the point that I felt so disrepected it gave me the strength to dump her. All the characteristics and traits you mentioned in this video described was exactly how my ex-gf behaved throughout our relationship... A "combative and argumentative woman." Awesome video George and Thank You for posting it! By the way I have subscribed to your channel! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've learned the hard way because I married someone you're describing. This woman was the most toxic person I've ever met for a few years before divorcing me. But before that she was my dream girl. It was like overnight she changed into Darth Vader for no reason
This video describes the woman who I spent the last 6 years of my life with, I was no door matt or a push over but she just didn't listen to the point I had to leave it's been tough these last couple of months but this video has made so many things clear it has given me so much hope thank you (wish I gouns you 6 years ago) .
Dude you are so absolutely right about combative behaviors. It takes time and experience to recognize these traits, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
One of the clearest indicators of character is when someone not only welcomes criticism, but asks for it in an effort to grow. That said, I subscribed to your channel because you have offered some profound insight that warranted it. As far a criticism, I would have to suggest you refine your stance that the men (all of them) who have fallen victim to a narcissistic woman got what the deserved for allowing themselves to be manipulated. Perhaps there are more cases that I’d disagree about, but one for sure is in the case of pure ignorance (and granted naive naturally paired with ignorance). Once learned however, then I’ll give you assigning them fault. We all have to learn somehow and again, you are offering valuable insight. Another criticism is projecting that it is ok for men to take advantage of women who make themselves sexually available to a qualified man who carries himself as such (you noted how you took advantage of biker girls before you found God). Correctly, as others have, you have pointed out how women are affected by sexual encounters more deeply than men and taking advantage of and perpetuating that given the destructive nature it carries not only for individual woman but society is not behavior of a real man of character. My suggestion is that you encourage men to be men, as you have, but to add that a man should equip himself to be a man and be aware enough to see a woman of quality and seek to marry her. The value of wisdom and knowledge you have acquired and offer is not for only you (which clearly you’re aware of), but for society. Real men will value that and seek to benefit society leading with true character.
My ex on the 3rd date said to me.. "I don't have a filter & If someone annoys me, I will say just say whatever I want" I booted her out after 6 months lol
Hey George, Love your videos as they resonate with me. I'm an ex-logger/timber faller, he-man, no BS type that used to put women on a pedestal, as I was brainwashed by our society to treat women better than they deserve. I love your macho attitude in the videos, but you don't need to apologize to your viewers. If there is no harm, a real man doesn't need to say I'm sorry. "I'm sorry" has become a reflex response that has been abused in our culture. We used to say "Excuse me," which is more manly and correct in English. I recommend that you use phrases such as "Excuse me," or "Please excuse...." These phrases align more neatly with your macho attitude. It is very rare that I say that I'm sorry. I have the "Fuck it" attitude, as I'm barely over 60 and quit caring so much about what others think of me. Thanks for all your hard work on this channel. Our society needs men and not these friggin city-slickers who are girly men trying to be a real man.
Brother. You are 100% correct. My exwife from day one didn't listen to my commands. I had it all, job, young, new car, paying bills. Since day one it felt and it was a competition. She never, ever said sorry even hen it was her fault. To make the long story short. She ended up destroying my image as a man. It was my fault to for being a pussy. It git worst when I decided that I was going to contest every argument every fight. She found some else behind my back and moved out. She also has alot of confidence because she is doing really well at her job. They are snakes, they don't keep their word. Disgusting. I am in a total dump right now. It really pisses me of that I am here.
You literally describe my last relationship. I'm glad that I broke up with her before it was like first anniversary. I broke up after she said something really nonsense. Thank you for your advices man. Really appreciate it!
Beware of the covert narcissist. How to uncover their tendencies? Give them a task and give feedback and she will blow up. A normal human will appreciate your input.
Men may be broke, young men especially because they cant work anywhere without being alongside this type of mess! And these type of chicks are taking the position, the salary, and then in terms of mating still desire a man who makes more.
Bro you are are real deal mentor..... i imagine if you are my mentor since iam kid ....i will be killing it know with women,business,mentally.....i am still young 24 years old and i will invest my time with you ....salute to you 💪
Bruh I have a family member just like you described and because of her only I started this journey so that I don't end up with a girl like her. And every single point you describe about problematic women, my family member is exactly that!!!
Thanks, man! I would love to hear it 20 years ago. :) It is important that women from any country or continent could have this tendency, only social conditions could prevent them from showing their nature immediately. Thai, Vietnamese, Romanian - any. You are thinking of going as a passport-bro, stay there, and don't give her the chance to become independent of you. She won't miss a chance.
There is big differences between smart & bad or dishonesty personality, to be smart enough way more beneficial than to be dummed enough.This time all kind of bad even worst behaviors are labed as smart .
Listen to this guy. He is soooooo right - unfortunately I learned this from personal experience. No way to change those girls, often they may occur as a narcissists. No winning there - just leave them - thats what I did. Ofcource I was blamed for not waiting another 6 months for her to calm down. She called or texted all my close friends or family talking sh...t about me. And so on and so on.
Thank you so much man... ive figured most of this out but you lay more information to fill in the other blanks that I had.... wow dude.. thank you so much.
My ex was combative, 3 kids and i should have left a lot earlier but it is what it is. No matter she could just not see her self in wrong or when she did wrong. As far as I know my problem with her had nothing to do with morals just her 50/50 mentality. Me being Albanian I don't yield to her, don't get me wrong I live my life exactly as how wanted but its the day to day was just meh
My ex shared the same opinions like me but half a year later i noticed that she cant handle criticism and conflicts always escalated but when we didn’t argued she shared the same opinion’s again. At the end she dumbed me and wanted „freedom“ and dated another man
Man, u really make my day with ur experience video, if I go around with out saying thank you means am ungrateful, Much love all the way for nigeria, West Africa
Hey man. Not a critique, just a question: how do you differentiate between a woman who is testing you because she is problematic and combative from a woman who is testing you for you to prove your masculine strength?
Let's say you meet a (seemingly) sweet girl and you've been dating her for a while. How do you know if she's just shit-testing you or if she's a passive aggressive combative woman who's faking?
I like your videos they are gull of knowledge. Recognizing the signs of combative women is something very important. I wish you do a more detailed video on this
Hey George, I appreciate your videos, as usual. There is just one little tic that I noticed here! When we have some obligations as improving our language skill or something else that is requested to us by users, customers, I honestly think that we don't have to apologize and we don't have to justify ourselves because we have to do what we have to do! One of your goal here to produce the best of the best of videos, right? As well, a man who is doing his best is slightly different from a man who tries in my mind. To be specific, I don't undertansd it the same way! And maybe some other might not too. But, ok man! On this last point, I could be a little tricky as I am more strict on words meaning than average people. Just you to know, despite I am a member of MENSA and older than you by a decade, I often learn something new from you. For example, I understand better a situation that I have encountered in success or failure (that are lessons for me) in men/women relationship. I use to despise the fact that a grown adult acts a childish way (like quietely all girls) for example. Now, I tolarate this behavior only for women as it is their core nature, and even, I appreciate it! I hope that I did my critic smooth as I just want to be constructive to you for the better. But you are man! So, you can handle it. 😎 Peace from France man!
Hey George. Nice vid. Make a video about tips on how to aprouch girls. What subjects to bring on the conversation to start and how to make this conversation grow. I realize that, if you aprouch to fast they "run" and if it you go to slow they dont have any desire. The mid term its really dificult. Help us my dude and thanks again
I never write comments but today I need the point of view of more experienced people than me on what I'm about to write, I'll go in details so sorry if it's long but I need you guys to know everything to answer me I guess it's better like that. Me and my gf are both 17 yr old, she is from eastern europe and me I'm from western europe, we stayed together for one year + now. She has always been nice to me and last week we were chilling just playing a game together, but she lost several times and it drove her super mad so my reaction was telling her that I didn't like the way she behaved and that if it happens again we'll never play this game anymore. Nevertheless, hearing what I said she instantly left not giving me enough time to reassure her. Then the two days following she was super cold to me and I asked her by messages, and again she answered in a cold way saying that "I'm not supportive and that I shouldn't offend but I'm leaving her like a pussy", so she assumes that I was not supportive and not here for her when she left after she got mad as if I should chase her after that lmao. And then I probably made the worst move to do at the time : argue with her to understand what she wants and to explain myself. So yeah I answered to her messages by explaining myself, yet I was not answering like a desperate guy with 4 messages for an answer but was answering accordingly to her stupid questions, and my words were that she was disrespectful to me to get mad at the game like that and leave without saying anything so thats why I was not "supportive" then she said she was disappointed of me and stuff because she was never disrespectful towards me. She admitted she was wrong but she was still holding her opinion that I was not supportive for her after it. I told her it would be better to talk about this topic in another way than messages but she attacked me again saying "we dont have to discuss anything if you would be supportive i wouldnt feel shit after this game" and I kept arguing like a retard saying thats her fault if she feels shit, she disrespected me so i was not about to support her afterwards. - She got upset saying i need to go doctor bla bla bla and I basically told her to leave after that. She said afterwards that she didn't need a man like me if I'm leaving her like that so easily, I explained to her why Im doing it again and she counter attacked saying I was running from problems instead of writing to me etc etc etc... I quote her message "deep down, you clearly realize that you are wrong, you don't want to admit that you are wrong, that's all, and you are ready to sacrifice our relationship" and she left me saying that I screwed everything. Now it's been 3 days she didn't write and she acts like I don't exist. I didn't come back to her because I don't know if it's the right thing to do, on the moment I just didn't want to deal with her shit because I'm preparing a boxing fight and I didn't have the energy at the moment to deal with it. So I don't know guys if what I did was right, if I was fair with her or if I was actually too hard on her and in that case I should go and write to her. I believe I shouldn't come back to her but I don't know what's right to do, my guts tell me that something is wrong because she has always been submissive to me and very nice, help me please thank you.
Hey, i think i start to really understand masculinity, where it comes from and why it's needed. But i don't get feminity as much. When we mention bad traits in men, it's often because it is a feminin trait. But for women, what are bad traits ? Are they masculin traits ? You mentioned in another video "hysteria" as a feminin trait, yet nobody wants a women with this trait (or maybe not ?). Where do "bad women behaviors" come from ? And what is a good women ? Is a women that is chill, talking with reason (as a man should be talking) a feminin women ? I am really confused. Can you clarify some points or share a source so i Can learn a bit more.
A lot of interesting questions , I will be answering them all through out my UA-cam career. Just subscribe and I will answer them all through out a year.
Great reaction time. Last question i want to ask but it's less related to the topic of your videos is : What should women actually do with their life? Men on the manosphere know they must work hard, build confidence, contrôle their émotions etc... But what should a women thrive for in a day to day basis. I put myself in my sisters shoe, where she suddenly starts to listen to all those male oriented podcast and videos and i can understand how they feel so lost. Men basicly Say "preserv yourself, find a great man you respect, and enjoy" is that all they have to do, be the most agreable bitch in the room ? I putting this out there because i need to speak my mind. Good Luck with your chanel !
I think femininity is mostly a creation of strong men. Strong men modulate and operate women and their biological dispositions in specific ways to be pleasant for them. Femininity is an operational regime installed in women, to be a feminine woman means to adapt to this regime. Bad female behaviour is the effect of weak men. The increase of weak men is the societal cause for the mass of dysfunctional modern women.
Hey George you want critique.. I think firstly bring the camera a bit closer to you less background . And use more examples of what you are talking about like the one women in pink you used. More real life examples are the best teacher imo . Big up
Thought I’d drop a comment seeing as you said about comments and feedback. Sorry no critique. But yeah been enjoying your channel. Great polarising channel name 😅 I shared one of the thumbnails on my stories… “how to control and manipulate women” something like that 😅… my girl replied “wtf is this” haha. So. I’ve been dating a girl. 5 dates. “Won” a conflict earlier. Or a conflict happened. We went to another new gym together. She went to buy a gym hoodie at the end. I asked the tall good looking guy behind the counter how much they were, after she had already thanked him for opening up one of the big gym doors to let in cooler air… but really it didn’t seem like she needed to personally thank him… he was just doing it for everyone… Anyway. At the end when he said to her have you checked the right size I asked him what size he wears usually, and long story short, she said well it doesn’t matter if she hasn’t tried it on, the bigger the better, then he said I feel sorry for your boyfriend. And we basically left very soon after. Then when we got outside. I basically said wtf was that. The disrespect. Like what does that mean. Like she technically didn’t do anything wrong. But she is outgoing and friendly sorta person as she puts it, and she’s nice to everyone, or she says people seem to talk to her easily… I say I get it. But she needs to understand from a guys point of view. Most men will think she’s flirting with them. Anyway. I didn’t make too much of a big thing about it. But I said. YES if it seems like I’m having a go at you. I am. And that was that. Silence in the car back. As I driver her car back to mine. But yeah. In the car she was saying she doesn’t like that she can’t read me. And she felt sad in the car. And showed me good signs. She suggested I dropped myself off so she goes home cause I just took away my focus from her in the car. But yea. Just sharing. And commenting my appreciation for some of the insights in the videos. My question would be. Dating multiple girls. I was fucking a few girls recently in my new city. Even had my first threesome with one girl I was dating and a girl I met walking home from a night out. It was a big win for me. But lots of emotional orchestrating to make it happen the next day before the girl I met left the city I now live in. But yeah. When you date a girl abit more seriously. And you can tell she likes you. And she’s like spending money on you. Treating you. Etc. I told her I wanted multiple girlfriends. Or like loyal girlfriends. Who aren’t seeing other guys. I said I was inspired by that idea. But yeah. This girl is cool. She’s pretty hot. She’s fun. She’s got fake boobies… typically I’m more into natural girls though… and yeah.. she dresses abit provactivly but has a low body count (below ten) yet quite ya know… open and friendly and is a gym girl… I saw your video about dating 2 girls at once isn’t worth it Bevsuse you gotta lie and stuff. And hide stuff. But yeah. I Duno… see where it goes
hey george !!! your tips are working awesome bro!!! just a tip from bro i have been watching videos of marni wing girl im not high lighting, both of your techniques are awesome must ad some of her techniques to yours !!! she has her own light !!! u have your own man to man bro!!!😊 masculine and feminine energy that's makes the world !!! yin and yang !!!! sun and moon!!😊😊
Polite indifference works pretty well with troublesome women. Don't give them anything to latch on and they will eventually just go away and become somebody else's problem.
She'll ruin your life and that's what happened to my dad. He married that kind of hoe and his life's ruined. I learned a lot thru my bad family relationship and it taught me "you have to be a man first and understand female nature" then you'll find good girl eventually.
Well, you can be a doormat or you can stand up to her all your life or until she desides she wants to divorce you. My advice is to get oit ASAP. And do not have children together. Under any circumstances!
I have a question , lets say there's frequent arguing because of somethings , and the woman in the end of the argument reconciles and shows submission and femininity , is this a sign of a good woman or if the escalation of the minor things turning into an arguments a sign of a boss babe ?
According to my experiences, it depends on previous behaviors prior to the arguments and the frequency of the arguments. Normal woman don't want to upset her man. In contrary, toxic woman frequently argue with her man and doesn't follow instructions.

I do recognise myself in some of these traits. And for the record, I've never enjoyed these traits. These traits were especially present in my younger years from 18 to 25.
I would always pick fights with my boyfriend. Always look for reasons for him NOT being good enough, not doing enough and not loving me enough.

I was jealous of his male friends, his female friends, I was jealous if he went travelling without me. I was even jealous of his time spending on video games. I wanted attention all. The. Time.
After we broke up I realised he was the best freaking man in the world. I had exhausted him.
I didnt act like this on purpose. I was very wounded from my childhood. Controlling and stressed mother. Absent father. I was insecure, depressed and totally reliant on him. I think it was a combination of obsession, codependency involved.
Later on I met a perhaps weaker man, more of a Beta man. In this relationship I became extremely controlling and mean to him. He was always around. Always available. Never did anything without me. I ended up cheating.
In this relationship the control stem from me being scared that he couldnt do things. I didnt feel safe. The rest of my bad behaviour was boredom and me being very immature, lacking integrity and respect for my man.
Ive been single for 3 years now. Reflecting on all my disastrous relationships.
I am working more and more on this. I want to allow men to be the leader. Im sick of life working a fulltime stressful job, driving, fixing my car on my own, making all of the decisions on my own.. life without a man is horrible.
But still. Evem With this awereness. I still catch myself going on dates with men, analyzing them, judging their hobbies, expecting them to pay/do everything for me, constantly looking for reasons that they are not good enough...
It freaking sucks and its not fun being this way. Its not like I intentionally wake up and decide to be a manipulative bitch.. and no I do definitely do not think the "chase"/game is fun.
Im really scared to get involved with someone who cant take care of a potential baby. F.ex. a lazy man, a man who lacks empathy etc etc. However, I KNOW most men are eligible, my fear sometimes is just so strong that I believe none are.
Even with when you decide you want just sex without long term relationship do you think about the potential baby?

I've run into big problems with these kinds of women. Thank you.
You don't even deal with them. No relationship. No friendship!! Avoid them.
My previous ex-gf was exactly like this. It was extremely energy draining during my 4 years relationship with her. Whenever I try to lead or give her advice (especially advice she has asked for), she would say nothing but give me this condescending arrogant face with a "know it all" kind of attitude. Eventually, it got to the point that I felt so disrepected it gave me the strength to dump her. All the characteristics and traits you mentioned in this video described was exactly how my ex-gf behaved throughout our relationship... A "combative and argumentative woman."
Awesome video George and Thank You for posting it! By the way I have subscribed to your channel! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long did it take to recover from that? Someone with that mindset can kill all your drive and motivation if you let them close.
@@GesundheitInStyle Some folks if they don't get with another good situation are left with the thoughts of the ex as the most recent memory.
I had a similar experience and I ended it with her after 8 months. Did you get over her?
Who is to fault for this? She or you?
I've learned the hard way because I married someone you're describing. This woman was the most toxic person I've ever met for a few years before divorcing me. But before that she was my dream girl. It was like overnight she changed into Darth Vader for no reason
How long after first time dating did she change?

This video describes the woman who I spent the last 6 years of my life with, I was no door matt or a push over but she just didn't listen to the point I had to leave it's been tough these last couple of months but this video has made so many things clear it has given me so much hope thank you (wish I gouns you 6 years ago) .
Dude you are so absolutely right about combative behaviors. It takes time and experience to recognize these traits, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
One of the clearest indicators of character is when someone not only welcomes criticism, but asks for it in an effort to grow. That said, I subscribed to your channel because you have offered some profound insight that warranted it. As far a criticism, I would have to suggest you refine your stance that the men (all of them) who have fallen victim to a narcissistic woman got what the deserved for allowing themselves to be manipulated. Perhaps there are more cases that I’d disagree about, but one for sure is in the case of pure ignorance (and granted naive naturally paired with ignorance). Once learned however, then I’ll give you assigning them fault. We all have to learn somehow and again, you are offering valuable insight. Another criticism is projecting that it is ok for men to take advantage of women who make themselves sexually available to a qualified man who carries himself as such (you noted how you took advantage of biker girls before you found God). Correctly, as others have, you have pointed out how women are affected by sexual encounters more deeply than men and taking advantage of and perpetuating that given the destructive nature it carries not only for individual woman but society is not behavior of a real man of character. My suggestion is that you encourage men to be men, as you have, but to add that a man should equip himself to be a man and be aware enough to see a woman of quality and seek to marry her. The value of wisdom and knowledge you have acquired and offer is not for only you (which clearly you’re aware of), but for society. Real men will value that and seek to benefit society leading with true character.
I think you will be an amazing father. This is the best content for men. Better than so much more popular channels.
My ex on the 3rd date said to me.. "I don't have a filter & If someone annoys me, I will say just say whatever I want" I booted her out after 6 months lol
Hey George, Love your videos as they resonate with me. I'm an ex-logger/timber faller, he-man, no BS type that used to put women on a pedestal, as I was brainwashed by our society to treat women better than they deserve.
I love your macho attitude in the videos, but you don't need to apologize to your viewers. If there is no harm, a real man doesn't need to say I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry" has become a reflex response that has been abused in our culture. We used to say "Excuse me," which is more manly and correct in English. I recommend that you use phrases such as "Excuse me," or "Please excuse...." These phrases align more neatly with your macho attitude. It is very rare that I say that I'm sorry. I have the "Fuck it" attitude, as I'm barely over 60 and quit caring so much about what others think of me.
Thanks for all your hard work on this channel. Our society needs men and not these friggin city-slickers who are girly men trying to be a real man.
Brother. You are 100% correct. My exwife from day one didn't listen to my commands. I had it all, job, young, new car, paying bills. Since day one it felt and it was a competition. She never, ever said sorry even hen it was her fault. To make the long story short. She ended up destroying my image as a man. It was my fault to for being a pussy. It git worst when I decided that I was going to contest every argument every fight. She found some else behind my back and moved out. She also has alot of confidence because she is doing really well at her job. They are snakes, they don't keep their word. Disgusting. I am in a total dump right now. It really pisses me of that I am here.
Go on dates with 3 to 5 women , sleep with some of them, and you will soon forget about her........
I have no idea how i have found you ,but this channel is pure gold 💪
this is the best channel i found on female psychology
You literally describe my last relationship. I'm glad that I broke up with her before it was like first anniversary. I broke up after she said something really nonsense. Thank you for your advices man. Really appreciate it!
Beware of the covert narcissist. How to uncover their tendencies? Give them a task and give feedback and she will blow up. A normal human will appreciate your input.
Men may be broke, young men especially because they cant work anywhere without being alongside this type of mess! And these type of chicks are taking the position, the salary, and then in terms of mating still desire a man who makes more.
Bro you are are real deal mentor..... i imagine if you are my mentor since iam kid ....i will be killing it know with women,business,mentally.....i am still young 24 years old and i will invest my time with you ....salute to you 💪
Love your content, man! Keep it up!!
Bruh I have a family member just like you described and because of her only I started this journey so that I don't end up with a girl like her. And every single point you describe about problematic women, my family member is exactly that!!!
I think you describing narcistic women. I think all what you saying match that term and you are very right with all you say.
Thanks, man! I would love to hear it 20 years ago. :)
It is important that women from any country or continent could have this tendency, only social conditions could prevent them from showing their nature immediately. Thai, Vietnamese, Romanian - any. You are thinking of going as a passport-bro, stay there, and don't give her the chance to become independent of you. She won't miss a chance.
Hi George, you are sincere and real man, We wait videos more often.
There is big differences between smart & bad or dishonesty personality, to be smart enough way more beneficial than to be dummed enough.This time all kind of bad even worst behaviors are labed as smart .
Listen to this guy. He is soooooo right - unfortunately I learned this from personal experience. No way to change those girls, often they may occur as a narcissists. No winning there - just leave them - thats what I did. Ofcource I was blamed for not waiting another 6 months for her to calm down. She called or texted all my close friends or family talking sh...t about me. And so on and so on.
I’m sure others have said this already but you are so correct. Spot on!!!!
Thanks for speaking truth ! 💪💪💪
Thank you so much man... ive figured most of this out but you lay more information to fill in the other blanks that I had.... wow dude.. thank you so much.
My ex was combative, 3 kids and i should have left a lot earlier but it is what it is. No matter she could just not see her self in wrong or when she did wrong. As far as I know my problem with her had nothing to do with morals just her 50/50 mentality. Me being Albanian I don't yield to her, don't get me wrong I live my life exactly as how wanted but its the day to day was just meh
A Muslim women that wants 50/50? Wtf
My ex shared the same opinions like me but half a year later i noticed that she cant handle criticism and conflicts always escalated but when we didn’t argued she shared the same opinion’s again. At the end she dumbed me and wanted „freedom“ and dated another man
Man, u really make my day with ur experience video, if I go around with out saying thank you means am ungrateful, Much love all the way for nigeria, West Africa
awesome content. my last gf experiment was a bossy babes. not worth it. cheers from brazil.
God damn, man, what a precise description... You literally described my case.
It is so important to be grounded, and congruent as a masculine man....
You are the man! I just started watching your videos. All of them are logical and beneficial. Thanks a lot
Hey man. Not a critique, just a question: how do you differentiate between a woman who is testing you because she is problematic and combative from a woman who is testing you for you to prove your masculine strength?
Test should happen a few times in the beginning of the relationship. If it's happening all the time, she is a combative person
this info is golden
100 💯 percent correct. I married a combative woman and found out the hard way. Now we heading for divorce
Who filed first? I’m guessing it was the wife.
How do you feel now? I dated a hot 24 year old combative agressive girl. I dumped her though lol
Great . Indeed. Thanks
You are not making any mistake into my eyes, master.
Let's say you meet a (seemingly) sweet girl and you've been dating her for a while. How do you know if she's just shit-testing you or if she's a passive aggressive combative woman who's faking?
more time. test her yourself with time and more dating and situations in life
Je suis exactement dans cette situation merci george
I like your videos they are gull of knowledge. Recognizing the signs of combative women is something very important. I wish you do a more detailed video on this
I always knew that there was something off about this thewizardliz chick, but I could never point it out. Thanks bro!
Listen to country music, and learn the words and sing along. You will sound very American
They're NOT smart! Otherwise they would've been already married! To a great guy! Long ago!
Great content brother...keep it up💯
Yep I've noticed that and many do, American cartoons portraits men as the goofy stupid member of the entire family. Why?
I love your vids,they don't make me feel left out
Great advice bro to identify these girls
Hey George,
I appreciate your videos, as usual.
There is just one little tic that I noticed here! When we have some obligations as improving our language skill or something else that is requested to us by users, customers, I honestly think that we don't have to apologize and we don't have to justify ourselves because we have to do what we have to do! One of your goal here to produce the best of the best of videos, right?
As well, a man who is doing his best is slightly different from a man who tries in my mind. To be specific, I don't undertansd it the same way! And maybe some other might not too. But, ok man! On this last point, I could be a little tricky as I am more strict on words meaning than average people.
Just you to know, despite I am a member of MENSA and older than you by a decade, I often learn something new from you. For example, I understand better a situation that I have encountered in success or failure (that are lessons for me) in men/women relationship. I use to despise the fact that a grown adult acts a childish way (like quietely all girls) for example. Now, I tolarate this behavior only for women as it is their core nature, and even, I appreciate it! I hope that I did my critic smooth as I just want to be constructive to you for the better. But you are man! So, you can handle it. 😎
Peace from France man!
Hey George. Nice vid. Make a video about tips on how to aprouch girls.
What subjects to bring on the conversation to start and how to make this conversation grow.
I realize that, if you aprouch to fast they "run" and if it you go to slow they dont have any desire. The mid term its really dificult.
Help us my dude and thanks again

Wow..Thank you, good video..

Way of Superior Man by David Deida, link to audiobook above.
I never write comments but today I need the point of view of more experienced people than me on what I'm about to write, I'll go in details so sorry if it's long but I need you guys to know everything to answer me I guess it's better like that.
Me and my gf are both 17 yr old, she is from eastern europe and me I'm from western europe, we stayed together for one year + now. She has always been nice to me and last week we were chilling just playing a game together, but she lost several times and it drove her super mad so my reaction was telling her that I didn't like the way she behaved and that if it happens again we'll never play this game anymore. Nevertheless, hearing what I said she instantly left not giving me enough time to reassure her. Then the two days following she was super cold to me and I asked her by messages, and again she answered in a cold way saying that "I'm not supportive and that I shouldn't offend but I'm leaving her like a pussy", so she assumes that I was not supportive and not here for her when she left after she got mad as if I should chase her after that lmao.
And then I probably made the worst move to do at the time : argue with her to understand what she wants and to explain myself. So yeah I answered to her messages by explaining myself, yet I was not answering like a desperate guy with 4 messages for an answer but was answering accordingly to her stupid questions, and my words were that she was disrespectful to me to get mad at the game like that and leave without saying anything so thats why I was not "supportive" then she said she was disappointed of me and stuff because she was never disrespectful towards me. She admitted she was wrong but she was still holding her opinion that I was not supportive for her after it. I told her it would be better to talk about this topic in another way than messages but she attacked me again saying "we dont have to discuss anything if you would be supportive i wouldnt feel shit after this game" and I kept arguing like a retard saying thats her fault if she feels shit, she disrespected me so i was not about to support her afterwards. - She got upset saying i need to go doctor bla bla bla and I basically told her to leave after that. She said afterwards that she didn't need a man like me if I'm leaving her like that so easily, I explained to her why Im doing it again and she counter attacked saying I was running from problems instead of writing to me etc etc etc...
I quote her message "deep down, you clearly realize that you are wrong, you don't want to admit that you are wrong, that's all, and you are ready to sacrifice our relationship" and she left me saying that I screwed everything.
Now it's been 3 days she didn't write and she acts like I don't exist. I didn't come back to her because I don't know if it's the right thing to do, on the moment I just didn't want to deal with her shit because I'm preparing a boxing fight and I didn't have the energy at the moment to deal with it.
So I don't know guys if what I did was right, if I was fair with her or if I was actually too hard on her and in that case I should go and write to her. I believe I shouldn't come back to her but I don't know what's right to do, my guts tell me that something is wrong because she has always been submissive to me and very nice, help me please thank you.
Normally feminine women are not combative. Try playing that same game with a submissive woman, you Win against her and you'll see
Great analysis
Thanks for sharing
Hey, i think i start to really understand masculinity, where it comes from and why it's needed. But i don't get feminity as much. When we mention bad traits in men, it's often because it is a feminin trait. But for women, what are bad traits ? Are they masculin traits ? You mentioned in another video "hysteria" as a feminin trait, yet nobody wants a women with this trait (or maybe not ?). Where do "bad women behaviors" come from ? And what is a good women ? Is a women that is chill, talking with reason (as a man should be talking) a feminin women ? I am really confused. Can you clarify some points or share a source so i Can learn a bit more.
A lot of interesting questions , I will be answering them all through out my UA-cam career. Just subscribe and I will answer them all through out a year.
Great reaction time. Last question i want to ask but it's less related to the topic of your videos is :
What should women actually do with their life? Men on the manosphere know they must work hard, build confidence, contrôle their émotions etc... But what should a women thrive for in a day to day basis. I put myself in my sisters shoe, where she suddenly starts to listen to all those male oriented podcast and videos and i can understand how they feel so lost. Men basicly Say "preserv yourself, find a great man you respect, and enjoy" is that all they have to do, be the most agreable bitch in the room ?
I putting this out there because i need to speak my mind.
Good Luck with your chanel !
@@drym3943yes, that’s all you got to do. And not call yourself a bitch too.
I think femininity is mostly a creation of strong men. Strong men modulate and operate women and their biological dispositions in specific ways to be pleasant for them. Femininity is an operational regime installed in women, to be a feminine woman means to adapt to this regime. Bad female behaviour is the effect of weak men. The increase of weak men is the societal cause for the mass of dysfunctional modern women.
@@drym3943 good question

Bart SIMP-son... 😂😂 Crazy coincidence
DAMNIT GEORGE
Great video!
Thought I’d drop a comment seeing as you said about comments and feedback.
Sorry no critique.
But yeah been enjoying your channel. Great polarising channel name 😅 I shared one of the thumbnails on my stories… “how to control and manipulate women” something like that 😅… my girl replied “wtf is this” haha.
So. I’ve been dating a girl. 5 dates. “Won” a conflict earlier. Or a conflict happened. We went to another new gym together. She went to buy a gym hoodie at the end. I asked the tall good looking guy behind the counter how much they were, after she had already thanked him for opening up one of the big gym doors to let in cooler air… but really it didn’t seem like she needed to personally thank him… he was just doing it for everyone…
Anyway. At the end when he said to her have you checked the right size I asked him what size he wears usually, and long story short, she said well it doesn’t matter if she hasn’t tried it on, the bigger the better, then he said I feel sorry for your boyfriend. And we basically left very soon after. Then when we got outside. I basically said wtf was that. The disrespect. Like what does that mean.
Like she technically didn’t do anything wrong.
But she is outgoing and friendly sorta person as she puts it, and she’s nice to everyone, or she says people seem to talk to her easily…
I say I get it. But she needs to understand from a guys point of view. Most men will think she’s flirting with them.
Anyway. I didn’t make too much of a big thing about it. But I said. YES if it seems like I’m having a go at you. I am.
And that was that.
Silence in the car back. As I driver her car back to mine.
But yeah.
In the car she was saying she doesn’t like that she can’t read me. And she felt sad in the car. And showed me good signs.
She suggested I dropped myself off so she goes home cause I just took away my focus from her in the car.
But yea.
Just sharing.
And commenting my appreciation for some of the insights in the videos.
My question would be.
Dating multiple girls.
I was fucking a few girls recently in my new city.
Even had my first threesome with one girl I was dating and a girl I met walking home from a night out. It was a big win for me. But lots of emotional orchestrating to make it happen the next day before the girl I met left the city I now live in.
But yeah. When you date a girl abit more seriously. And you can tell she likes you. And she’s like spending money on you. Treating you. Etc.
I told her I wanted multiple girlfriends. Or like loyal girlfriends. Who aren’t seeing other guys.
I said I was inspired by that idea.
But yeah.
This girl is cool. She’s pretty hot. She’s fun. She’s got fake boobies… typically I’m more into natural girls though… and yeah.. she dresses abit provactivly but has a low body count (below ten) yet quite ya know… open and friendly and is a gym girl…
I saw your video about dating 2 girls at once isn’t worth it Bevsuse you gotta lie and stuff. And hide stuff.
But yeah. I Duno… see where it goes
Just keep my options open. Work on my “game”. And learn and enjoy with my current girl I guess.
hey george !!! your tips are working awesome bro!!! just a tip from bro i have been watching videos of marni wing girl im not high lighting, both of your techniques are awesome must ad some of her techniques to yours !!! she has her own light !!! u have your own man to man bro!!!😊 masculine and feminine energy that's makes the world !!! yin and yang !!!! sun and moon!!😊😊
Just look at your married neighbors....the man is shot and broken...the wife rules..you are not laughing with your partner...shes no good
Polite indifference works pretty well with troublesome women. Don't give them anything to latch on and they will eventually just go away and become somebody else's problem.
Great job
Augh, what if you marry a women like this... 😧
She'll ruin your life and that's what happened to my dad. He married that kind of hoe and his life's ruined. I learned a lot thru my bad family relationship and it taught me "you have to be a man first and understand female nature" then you'll find good girl eventually.
Well, you can be a doormat or you can stand up to her all your life or until she desides she wants to divorce you. My advice is to get oit ASAP. And do not have children together. Under any circumstances!
Yeah if you can, get out, before she does.

I have a question , lets say there's frequent arguing because of somethings , and the woman in the end of the argument reconciles and shows submission and femininity , is this a sign of a good woman or if the escalation of the minor things turning into an arguments a sign of a boss babe ?
According to my experiences, it depends on previous behaviors prior to the arguments and the frequency of the arguments. Normal woman don't want to upset her man. In contrary, toxic woman frequently argue with her man and doesn't follow instructions.
I see this makes sense
