Here's who I'm giving REAL dating advice for men to in this episode:- A guy who is being pursued by a girl that may or may not be ugly.- A guy whose long-distance girlfriend won't come visit him over the summer.- A guy that's more worried about if girls think he's cheap by asking for a receipt on dates rather than realizing $200 is way too much to pay for a date.- A guy whose wife is a stay-at-home-mom but he does 80% of the housework, AND she's pissed that he plays video games.- For the first time, a guy who I'm PRAISING on how he reacted when his girlfriend said she wanted a month-long break.Subscribe for more Reddit dating stories, dating advice for men, and dating tips.Message me or support the show: https://linktr.ee/roycalvinDating lessons from this episode:If a woman gives you her Instagram through a friend and you are not interested, you do not owe her a response. The cleanest move is usually to do nothing. If you never asked for her contact information and do not want to pursue her, you can simply not message her and let the situation end on its own.Do not switch gyms just because rejecting a woman feels awkward. If a girl at the gym likes you and you do not feel the same way, that is more awkward for her than it is for you. Stay at your gym, keep your routine, and do not overreact to a situation that will probably fade quickly.Texting another girl does not mean you should ignore every new option. Unless you are in a real relationship, texting one woman does not make you unavailable. If another attractive woman shows interest, you can still pursue it if you want to.If your long-distance girlfriend says she cannot afford to visit but spends money going out, she probably does not want to visit badly enough. People often claim they have no money for travel while still spending on nights out, shopping, food, and drinks. If she wanted to see you enough, she would likely find a way.A brand-new long-distance relationship does not need constant travel to survive. If you have only been dating for a month and will be apart for the summer, it may be better to meet once in the middle or simply reconnect when she returns. Do not overinvest in flights and visits before the relationship is actually solid.Do not spend $100 or $200 on early dinner dates. The receipt is not the real problem; the expensive date is. Keep first dates cheap, casual, and within an amount you are comfortable losing if she ghosts afterward.Get women to pay their share on early dates. Paying for everything can leave you annoyed if she does not come home with you, does not thank you, or never sees you again. Splitting the bill protects your money and keeps you from feeling used.A wife should not control your harmless hobbies when your responsibilities are handled. If you make the money, prioritize your family, and only play video games during free time, your wife should not treat your hobby like a childish problem. A relationship should not require giving up normal downtime just because she disapproves.If your stay-at-home wife makes you do most of the housework, the relationship dynamic is broken. A man who works, supports the family financially, and still does most of the chores is being walked over. You need to stand up for yourself before the imbalance becomes permanent.If a woman asks for a month-long break, treat it as a breakup. Serious relationships do not get paused whenever life becomes stressful. If she wants space for a month, end it cleanly instead of waiting around while she decides whether she still wants you.
