Modern Dating

Improved Essays
The problem with rejection in modern dating, and why men are doomed to fail without coaching.

We live in a society where you can meet anyone in the world, and no one is getting out of their house. We have been disillusioned with the idea that we will always have options and that notion is making it increasingly difficult to meet singles. We have the opportunity to meet singles with the swipe on a phone in an instant, yet men find it cumbersome to actually meet that woman. This perfect storm of availability and untrained men breeds a permeating culture of missed connections and unsolicited dick pics. Men need coaching more than ever, and that is where I come in.

Dating apps are plentiful, diverse and reaching in the thousands, with more

The problem is, as men, we are 'supposed to know how to date'. It is one of those 'ego' things with men. The hardest thing I have found in my business is overcoming another man's ego. It is okay to not be great at this stuff, it is not something you are born with. Even if you have a lot of confidence or charisma, those are learned traits and a man should not be judged on the things he chooses to learn instead. Some men deal with rejection better than others. So men get into relationships from our social circles. They go on to marry those women, go through a divorce, and are forced to learn these things at the age of 45. I have also picked up clients that their societal norms are to focus on education and career at a young age. Thus, finding themselves being successful in business, but virgins (not by choice) into their late 20's and early 30's. Optometrists and heart surgeons are both doctors, but I would never judge a heart surgeon based on his knowledge of eyes so this leaves me with the question; why does society hold men to strict standards of dating? Women complain about men turning into 'Fuck Boys', yet criticize or look down upon a man that seek guidance from another man to become better in social situations. It is my job to work towards changing the social stigma of men's self-improvement in relationship matters. I want someone to view my services the same way as a man hiring a personal trainer to become physically better. My job is flexing their internal communication muscles while raising their confidence levels to develop a more well-rounded individual. I respect anyone that wants to improve their life and I think it is the time we realize that not everyone in this field is teaching "boys" how to use

    “It’s cheaper to keep her”. If all married couples followed this advice the divorce rate would plummet to 50%, guaranteed.

    As women, we either play into mens wants of us, or we do not follow the rules. This really defines our relations with men. When we act a babe, we devalue ourselves but we are praised by men. When we refuse to be stupefied, we are considered a bitch. Kimmel states, “To be taken seriously as a competent individual means minimizing, or even avoiding altogether, the trappings of femininity” (252).…

    Rejection characterizes the young American’s experience — carefully composed rejection letters from colleges threaten to fill mailboxes, job offers are extended and then denied, and romantic propositions are regularly shot down. The different scenarios leave one unsatisfied like a musical piece without a resolution, as the young scholar wishes to determine why exactly his four years of effort were incompatible with an admission to Harvard and the high school girl ponders the exact reasoning behind her crush’s denial of her “promposal.” Thus, the importance of addressing the reasoning behind rejection has only grown, as Samuel Johnson exemplifies in his refusal to obtain the archbishop of Canterbury’s patronage for an unknown mother’s son.…

    As part of an old high school tradition, hundreds of students crowded into a dimly lit cafeteria and danced until the air hung heavy and sweat glistened off every square inch of exposed skin. The schools that began the tradition of the modern homecoming dance most likely did not expect it to evolve into what it is today; at some point, we, as students, lost the true purpose of the event and instead became preoccupied with image. Even though I would have liked to think that those things did not matter, I still found myself altering my appearance that Saturday night to try and show off the best version of myself. I was not alone; other females joined me amidst a pile of cosmetic products and styling tools, and we had the pictures to showcase…

    Hook Up Research Paper

    The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about gender differences in regards to “hooking up” is the old saying that girls are from Venus and boys are from Mars. Now I get that men and women are actually both from Earth, but when it comes to sex games and intrigue both sexes defiantly seem to be coming from different planets, maybe even different galaxies. From personal experience, whenever a girl friend tells me she wants a wild night out on the town or wants a “no-strings attached” one night stand it’s usually right after a fight or break-up with their significant other. This, to me, sets the stage for the next guy she meets to be a rebound guy, so even if the “hook up” was what she wanted, it wasn’t positive because she wasn’t…

    I have a passion for trucks, but I’m told that trucks are for men: “You can’t handle the power of driving a truck.” I’m a “lady”, so I’m “supposed” to drive small cars that I can handle.

There are many reasons why so many people are single, from the changes in societal norms that say it is okay for women to stay unmarried longer to changes in technology, which could be causing people to drift further and further away from real connections.
