  • Hey guys, Lisa here! If you didn’t already know, I am super frikin excited to share that I’m writing a book! To be the FIRST to get sneak peeks about my book and other exclusive content go to: RadicalConfidence.com and pre-order the book now.
    Dating in 2022 can feel like a lost cause, it can feel exhausting, and worthless when you come up empty handed and broken hearted (again). How can we start to date wiser, smarter, and more fearless without falling into the same traps over again? Matthew Hussey is a relationship guru who has helped thousands of women navigate their feelings and emotional responses to dating.
    Between not getting caught up in the stories we create before the first date, to recognizing the warning signs we usually ignore and excuse, to knowing when it’s time to be brave and ask the difficult questions we fear the answers to, Matthew Hussey is brutally honest. He’s like the big brother every girl needs. As an added bonus to get your dating life on the right track, Stephan Speaks another high value relationship guru is breaking down what makes a relationship truly successful and how women can use their natural senses to make better decisions when it comes to dating and choosing partners to start building with.

    When a friend of mine told me that she went to Europe and met a man and he really liked her. He flew out every month to see her for two weeks at a time. She would fly out to see him also and when she was going through it with her family and she talked to him about it he got on the next flight and showed up to her house. He told her I don’t want you to ever cry by yourself. They are married and she lives with him in Europe and helps him with his business.

    Women need to value themselves more, and not jump at the first thing that comes along. Be picky, don’t just get into a relationship if it does not feel right. Never sleep with a man until you really get to know them well. If he really cares about you, he will wait.

    5. Stages:

    b. Connection/Chemistry
    c. Commitment - MATTERS!
    d. Compatibility - MATTERS!

    7. What he means vs what he says,
    Anything that doesn't boost his pitch, then I can trust that effort
    (like drug side effect disclosures lol!)

    My toxic relationship ended in December right before Christmas. I decided to heal and work on myself. I haven't dated in a while and I have decided to not have sex. I meant a guy and told him sex is off the table. He disrespected me and told me that I think I'm too good, who do you think you're? I was so shocked to get that response because this same guy told me he was looking for marriage. We live in a society where sex is so easily accessible, that some men are shocked at hearing no. I know I'll find the right guy sticking to loving myself and setting up boundaries.

      'Who do you think you are?" You are a person who has dominion over your own body! And kudos to you for making that clear to him up front! Tragic that we live in a world where men assume you don't have that right (which he clearly didn't). Sadly, this degradation of women's rights to their own bodies was brought to us via the "sexual revolution". There's plenty of support for "my body, my choices" as long as were are attempting to terminate a pregnancy, but God forbid we have a say over whether a stranger can violate our personal space. Again, via the sexual revolution, men have come to assume that THEY have a right to your body, and HOW DARE we set a boundary! As you hold your ground, more and more issues will come to light; you are not only elevating yourself, but your awareness will increase. And you will begin to see that there are entire agendas in place to keep us questioning and doubting ourselves, and keep us in the role of subservience and people-pleasing... at our own peril.

    Do you guys know why so many of us are having dating or relationship issues? Bcz it takes some duration of time to get to know a person to develop real feelings. Most of us don't have the ability to meet new people and through a setting where we meet on a daily basis. That was school or college. Real life now is fast and we are just working and we are tired. Second reason, is really people are loaded with complexes and haven't matured or healed properly. Our ENVIRONMENT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LOVE but only prepares you for a quick dopamine hit!

      @@juliam1721 Please don't let him know you're leaving. My nex-husband became very dangerous as soon as he figured out I'd been packing my things. I don't want you to get hurt. Make arrangements when he's at work. Make sure you're not at home where he may have hidden cameras or tape recorders. Also, he may have put an app on your phone that you don't know about so try to have it checked out too. When he's at work have people come to move you all at once. If you own the house, change the locks on the door, get his remote for the garage door or have the code changed, and have an alarm system installed. If you have proof that he's dangerous, get a restraining order.

      Psychopathic behavior.
      Don't think for 1 second he's just going to let you leave.
      Definitely have silence on your plans and intentions, and help/counselor experienced with narcissistic abuse/safe places to hide with people you trust who will not tell him or anyone where you are.
      Plan. Pray.
      No matter how you try to hide it, he'll likely pick up that there's a change in you "something you're hiding" and will start provoking and harassing you and spying on you to get you to admit it, and cast you out before you are ready, etc.

    Matthew is so right. I innately have a moral compass that tells me that an omission of the truth is a lie. I met someone last December. We dated for about 4 months, and he disappeared on me 4 weeks later 😔 I always had a feeling that he wasn’t opening up to me, and it was because he would vaguely give me information in a way that in the first few weeks of seeing one another that left me wondering where I stood with him. It’s a shame that women must have the intuition and courage to ask the right questions.

Then boom, here comes June & he's avoiding to even spend alone time with me. Then he broke up, left me with so many confusing reasons. He literally doesn't even realize how much whatever he says being "not so serious" hurted me but at the same time, he did supported me a lot but that was as a friend. I shoulda seen his friendliness for that only. I still sometimes think if he could give me that 2nd chance. Mhm, I wonder if 2nd chances do exist

    Men most definitely stop putting in the effort. You get a year tops of him really trying to win you over if you’re lucky. Women are expected to make sure their makeup is nice, shave their legs, underarms, and elsewhere, have their eyebrows waxed, have nice nails, smooth and soft skin, sexy clothes, fabulous hair, etc… You expect us to maintain that perfection for the rest of our lives, forking out a fortune to look good for you, but then complain that you have to pay for dinner. It’s a crap ton of work when you probably didn’t bother to shave, you threw on a tshirt and a pair of jeans or khakis, brushed your hair, and hopefully used some deodorant and cologne. The standards are most definitely different.

      Sometimes that one problem call me what trickles into other parts of the relationship not working, such as communication.
      My last partner had major communication problem in many areas of communication that made it extremely difficult to communicate with him regardless of how I approached things because there were always excuses or nitpicking that I needed to say it this way or that way and I realized he was just doing everything in his power to resist just being vulnerable and open even to the point that for months and he says he’s been holding stuff back and it’s because he’s afraid to communicate and he even told me in the beginning his fear is it’ll lead to something that ends.

      The church needs to stop enabling the abuse of women and holding the men in the church accountable.
      But, since the attitude that women are just supposed to take it or they are not good wives has came from and existed from the TOP/leadership down, I don't expect changes until they die off and maybe better will take their place.

      Men who cannot be upfront and honest with their wives ( or wives to husbands) need to get the help they need psychologically, too. You cannot have a relationship without honesty- you have to let yourself be vulnerable and yes, that means getting hurt, sometimes. I know I’m my case, I worked to be his everything and really gave away who I was for the sake of our kids, and our marriage. Then he sneaks around behind my back and can’t tell me he’s cheating? Can’t facd me to say he lied over and over and over? Cowardice. My husband won’t serve me papers bc he knows he has abused me physically emotionally psychologically. Yet, when I finally had enough and said I was reporting him he stonewalls. We have kids! We still have to be grown ups and discuss life, our kids, etc. he refuses and lies to himself. I feel so sorry for him. He’s going to regret letting this girl go bc I WAS honest with him. I was good and faithful and lived him, making excuses for his abuse.

When you're a survivor of childhood trauma and you meet someone who hits on those aspects of things you were longing to have closure on, it can become a very strong bond from a soulful place. You have to be very careful. The question becomes, what are you going to do with it? Will you live out these patterns with people who have traits of your abusive parent? Or will you take pause and see it for what it is. Stop those cycles babe. We should never adapt to less. Don't ever crap fit because you feel a connection because sometimes, it's trauma, babe.

The pain was/is great but I dread going back to a life of no passion. The story was a surprise and I went along with it even though my intuition was warning me. Now it’s time to work out a path for a middle way between the fantasy and the reality. Wouldn’t that be great!

Why? Really?

      @@kerynl.sanchez9891 I’m sure they get comfortable and enjoy all the benefits of the relationship even without commitment. It takes 2 to make a relationship work.
      So perhaps the woman is doing all the work and pouring all her love on him expecting nothing but the idea of earning his commitment eventually.
      And she’ll never get it. She has turned herself into that man’s mother that he gets to sleep with as well.
      These guys usually just live in the moment and don’t know what they want. But they want to receive all the attention and benefit from a very loving partner they don’t really deserve.

    Patterns of three. First time you notice. Second time it's a red flag. Third time it's a pattern and you know who you are dealing with and you can go full-metal Mayou Angelou. And the people around me all banged on about how amazing my ex was before I succumbed. I allowed peer pressure to short circuit my intuition. YES, The second gentleman nailed it when he says many women will give bad advice so they don't have to look at their own choices. Turns out, my 'fabulous' ex was a narcissist with no whole object relations and object constancy, a true Dr Jeckyl/Mr Hyde. We could never work through any conflict, EVER. Coming to him with compassion and vulnerability was either a waste of time or even dangerous. And I never told people about the truly bad stuff he did b/c I was worried they would judge me for staying. Shame. I was ashamed. Maybe some of this is generational. I'm a Boomer. Again, the above conversation seems to be about normal, flawed, people, which is interesting to me because I've never actually been in relationship with one, so I, at 61, five years after the final discard, am ready to consider maybe trying to go on a date, so thank you for the above wisdom. I'd like to see this very intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgable young man/men in a panel discussion with Dr Ramani or Dr Malkin or all three.

    Emotional Compatibility and Communication:
    🧠 Instead of getting entangled in logical reasons and trying to solve the problems, it's important to simplify and focus on whether or not someone is able to give you what you want emotionally, regardless of the logic they present.
    🧠 Our brains make calculations and fill in gaps to support the story we want to believe, whether it's finding evidence of love or fueling insecurities.
    💔 If someone says something that hurts their own motives or ends the game, you can trust that part because it shows their honesty and sincerity.
    ⚖ Pay attention to whether someone's actions align with their words, as intentions may differ but it doesn't necessarily make them a villain, just not the right match for you.
    💑 Expressing your desire to give your full attention to someone and asking if they feel the same way can help establish exclusivity and avoid misunderstandings.
    💡 "I'm such an advocate for asking the hard questions... emotionally sober."
    🚩 When someone says things that haven't been earned yet in the relationship, it's a red flag because it's based on an idea they have of you or a feeling they enjoy, rather than a genuine connection.
    💪 Being vulnerable in a classy way, with the right frequency, allows others to understand our insecurities without making them responsible for our emotional state.
    🧐 Our tendency to jump to the worst possible motive in relationships may stem from a desire to protect ourselves from disappointment or catastrophic thinking.
    😳 Confirmation bias can lead us to justify our actions and interpret messages in a way that aligns with what we want, rather than facing the reality of the situation.
    Relationship Dynamics and Growth:
    💍 The third stage of a relationship is commitment, where both parties have expressed a mutual desire to be together.
    🏰 Building a strong and unique relationship is like constructing a castle together, with secret rooms and intricate details that make it special.
    💑 Inviting your partner to share their perspective and concerns, showing that you are a team and willing to work on improving the relationship together.
    ⚠ When there is a difference in energy and effort in a relationship, it's important to catch it early and address the gap, rather than becoming bitter and resentful.
    💔 The speaker had to set boundaries with their partner to ensure their needs were being met in the relationship.
    Red Flags in Behavior and Expectations:
    💑 "In dating, the pitch is often 'I would like to sleep with you,' and anything someone says that helps their pitch should be taken with caution."
    💔 "I wish I still had it was that you would take care of me like you used to" - A major red flag in a man is when he expects his partner to fulfill traditional gender roles and take care of him.
    🚩 Pay attention to situations where something feels wrong or there is a disconnect between someone's words and their behaviour, as it could be a major red flag.
