PURSUIT is very different than chasing. Pursuing a woman means that you are showing interest, and effort and asserting yourself in her life because she is receptive to you. Chasing a woman, on the other hand, typically means she’s not interested in you are you’re trying to force a connection with her. Most modern men have lost their ability to pursue because of fear and self-doubt. What do you think soul family? Drop me a comment! 👇
Sometimes I find it difficult to know if the woman is interested or not. The cues are confusing sometimes. It varies from person to person, culture to culture. What do you think?
Lions that hunt are female 😉 The males don't hunt, at least I heard that in a documentary😂 But great video Jake! I love how calm en clear you explain. ❤ It really soothes my system and it feels loving.
Thank you for this video. Great that you point out the difference between pursuing and chasing. There definitely is a fine but important difference, though in todays world many of us men are confused about this as to what point its a healthy pursuit and when it becomes a non-healthy chase. Part of this problem is, as you also mentioned that many women these days don't show clear signs of if they want to be pursuit or not (and no, flaking or ghosting is not it). However this is also partially caused by men not showing the clear intent with a women, that doesn't give her a possibility to say yes or no to. This lands them both in the common space of ambiguity, where no one really knows what's it about and no one dares to either make a move or set a clear boundary. And this is just plain annoying and time wasting for all. One can attribute this to a missing sense of polarity: The men are afraid of being straight with their intentions out of fear of being rejected or judged (yess, societies miss perception of real masculinity and terms like "toxic masculinity" creates a lot of insecurity and shame for men in owning their beautiful, natural, sexual essence so they rather play safe). And women are afraid of hurting men by setting boundaries, afraid of hurting themselves as they cannot know if they can trust a man being showing inconsistent behavior, or afraid of coming off too easy and being judged for this by society as well. All problems in their own. A good perspective I found to explain the difference between pursuit and chase is the frame of mind you're operating from: are you coming from a place of scarcity or a place of abundance? Nowadays many people, especially men operate from a place of scarcity, that brings doubts about self-worth and fear of not getting or losing something. Modern men often don't perceive to have many dating options, so when suddenly this one beautiful women pops up in their life (in a social circle, or an online match, etc), they naturally start to chase her and try everything they can to get a chance with her. And this is nothing to do with a healthy pursuit. Pursuit comes from a place of abundance. From a sense self-worth. You assert yourself in the life of a women, because you know it's the most wonderful, beautiful thing for both of you. You don't need her to be happy, to feel worth, to feel validated, but you want her -- because, well who doesn't want to be caught up in a beautiful romance? After all, that's what we are here for. But this requires a lot of healing on a personal and collective level, learning to reclaim our own (sexual) essence, unlearning limiting beliefs and programming, etc. Though the path is there, and people like you are willing to fight and spread awareness. Thats good.
I didn’t realize that is what I was craving & enjoyed! being pursued! This exemplifies polarity. Also congrats on your dating platform, that is soooo amazing!
That example with lion in pursuit made me laugh :) Actually it's a lioness who hunts, a lion doesn't hunt. He just comes to eat what lioness catches :)
@@JakeWoodard he might :) I'm just saying he doesn't hunt for the food :) He knows, he's the king, so he's letting himself being served :) I'm not saying a human male should do the same, of course not ;) It's not in his masculine nature - if he's aware of it eventually...

This is it! This is 100% correct. No add! No subtraction you hit it on the nose

Thanks Melissa!!
I LOVE THIS! Deeply. 🔥❤️
I appreciate you!
@@JakeWoodard Thank you. 🙏🏽

Go walk in front of a lion and see if he doesn't eat you :)
Does that mean that a human man is just more masculine than a lion man? 🤔🤩 And maybe she only went to the food market😜.

The lioness might hunt for food, but the lion hunts the lionesses. Know the context. Lol
@@Ratchet2022 context: women hunt for men who can hunt for food.
I disagree on pursuing women. If love isnt genuine i dont want it
🙌🙌🙏❤
Let's goooo!
