The comment about women who have a lot of male friends is spot on. An old sergeant of mine said it best, "a shoulder to cry on becomes a dick to ride on." Excellent work as usual Rich!

Broke up with my girl just last week. Holy shit she had so many flags. Depression, anxiety, on meds, bunch of guy friends, smoked a bunch of weed and partied, phone addict and the list went on. She also seemed not to care much about the relationship until i split with her and now she’s crying for me back saying she regrets this and that. Hell to the no.

If she has friends that are "divorced" then you've had it. A bitter, divorced woman will try and destroy your/her relationship because she will need justification of why HER(friends) relationship failed and the in-group preference will eventually split YOUR relationship up.

Major Red flag, she goes on holiday without you with her bestie.

I just don't have the deep desire to have a relationship with a woman after many tries and failures. They represent nothing positive in my life, but simply serve as a drain and a burden to my life which consists of raising my daughter (I have full custody), taking care of my house and yard, working, lifting, fishing and other outdoors activities...listening to this content further entrenches my value of making myself my mental point of origin and enjoying my life for myself.

I think I ignored every red flag imaginable. Glad I found you Rich.

My ex and I used to be best friends and had an amazing relationship until she started becoming a feminist. She went from being a girly girl to a more masculine lesbian. She started hanging out with college cheerleaders and I believe they corrupted her. She used to beg for sex and never denied me sex but things got very cloudy when her friends started corrupting her. I can’t explain the pain I felt after I broke things off. Her toxic mindset ruined our relationship and she has told all of her friends/ co-workers (she worked at my gym at the time and basically got her the job) so she trashed my name even though she still told me she loved me. I tried to make things work after we broke up but she refused to take any blame for our issues. Toxic mindset pushed me away. She also got terribly jealous when my mom told her she will need to learn to keep up with me bec. I am a very motivated person and she got scared I’d leave her. She also asked me before the quarantine while she was working at my gym “Who have you been f**ckin lately?!” I told her “I haven’t, I’m trying to figure out what I want in life and I’m working on myself rn” she then chewed me out. She thought I broke up with her to sleep around. A few weeks later I found out she had already slept with multiple people and was mad because she realized she messed up. She is mad bec. I won’t take her back

You know what is injustice, men going to work. Women staying at home fully paid and expecting or entitled.

I know it's toxic to talk about it but there is a direct connection between liberalism and unbearable women

She accused me of taking her for granted and not valueing her enough. At this point she has already been cheating on me.

A big red flag 🚩 for me is if the girl is a phone addict ! 💉 📱

Being Honest, I am done with women, after 20 years of trying to make a woman happy, she ended our marriage when things went to crap.. leaving me to take the hit.. lesson learned

Me ex told me “when we are hanging out with my friends, you be quiet “. She said the same when hanging out with her family. Hey, I am an MD, have businesses in the US and Mexico, I make 6 figures. It has nothing to do with me, she has low self esteem. Dumped her :)

Perfect timing for this video for me. Dumped my 6 month STR a week ago after noticing red flags. She wants me back and is begging but after this great video I am easily not giving her another chance. She’s already screwed up a few times and says she’ll stop, but her actions say otherwise. Thanks Rich!

Here's my 3 Major Red Flags : 1) she won't allow me to see her cell phone and said I will never see her cell phone even if we were to get married 2) she has gone away on weekend trips and for the day but won't tell me where she is going or who she was with 3) she has a male best friend who she says is like a brother to her but she feels the need to go see him alone at his house on a Friday when I am working and his wife is working. I told her I was going to inform his wife and she blew up at me getting defensive and angry. When I questioned her and want to talk about things she avoids me it's not a good time. So I go back later and try to talk and I get the same answer, it's not a good time. It's deny, deny, deny!

Acting like a queen is an easy fix. Remind her that she's not. 😂

Rich you smashed it, this is your best video yet. So much of the subject matter is relatable.

You struck a chord with me..."Can a woman divert a man's success "... I was in a bad marriage , in my mid 30s at the time. Three kids, house...etc.etc. I started a used equipment company from scratch. I was killing it ....making leaps and bounds. She started burning more money away on credit cards. I knew eventually where this was going. I slowly stopped hunting deals and the business slowly died. I was in such a bad place in my life at the time. My rational thought was....I'm not building this business to give this evil psychopathic 1/2 of it.....and paying and paying when the divorce finally comes.

So many red flags, it's so easy to see them now. I wish you would've been around 15 years ago. I've read the unplugged alpha and have learned alot. Thank you Rich!

49:00 No! Do *not* get a Whole Life insurance policy with a cash surrender value. The "lump sum" you would cash-out of a Whole Life policy is exponentially smaller than if you were to get a Term Life policy and invest the difference (between the Whole Life and Term Life) in mutual funds. Dave Ramsey has explained this repeatedly on his syndicated radio show.

I can 100% admit to valuing emotions first and foremost, but I also highly value logic; emotions just win out to begin with. Most of the time now, I have to sit back and ask myself "am I playing the victim and choosing to feel this way because it serves me somehow? Or am I actually being maltreated in some way?" More often than not, I'm playing the victim and will apologize and listen to the logic at that point. I completely deflate because it's my own fault for getting upset, he was just trying to help so I really can't be mad at that.

Another very informative video. Thumbs up...

Rich, thank you for all of your hard work! I appreciate you

Rich, your channel is brilliant. Wish I followed some of this before I wound up in the divorce that I am currently in. I always thought of myself as a cynic, but my concerns are real and pervasive. I ignored some of my own rules of thumb and got my ass kicked.

the only way a relationship's going to work is if the woman is more into you than you are to her. PERIOD. All these videos are good, but that's THE message you need to ABSOLUTELY understand!!!

Man you really nailed it bro! Great job you're doing to help guys out here man

Great video - MANY good pieces of advice in here.

Another great episode of BTT.

Used to watch you with my dad Rich. He's no longer with us and you now keep my thinking about women on track. 27 years old, working hard on multiple business and lots of girls supplement my life, they will never be the main focus!

Oh yes I remember leaving my laptop on the dining table during my seperation from my ex wife .She read an email about purchasing a property .Remember she did not want to be with me any longer so I was don .She went so crazy about it I just thought yes I am making the correct decision. The BS that makes them lose their composure is unreal. Never happy no gratitude for anything even when they get their own way.

Dam dude, you're pretty on point. Kinda wish you were around throughout my shitty relationships (or at least knew about you). Thank you for your shares man

I was never a player but most of the chicks I hooked up with had a boyfriend, I later found out. Learned abit about women when I was single.

I love listening to your videos...I don’t know if this sounds strange but you give the best insight on how women should treat their men...with the respect that most deserve..... I think more women should listen to you. Maybe they don’t all realize when they are being horrible, we learn from what we grew up around.

After my son was born my wife's Dr. put her on Lexapro to "prevent" post-partem depression before it could occur. She completely changed, became detached, depressed, uninterested in anything, and zero sex drive. This went on for a couple years. After talking, reasoning, and begging her to stop taking them I eventually ended up offering to pay her to quit taking them just to see what would happen. She accepted, i paid, and what do you know, she went right back to normal and been good ever since.

She got him babysitting her kid? HELL NO!

Just leaving a comment to help this wonderful awaken community

Commenting on the topic he talked about where you should never let a women derail you from your passion and dreams. Im really big into customizing and restoring old vehicles thats always made me happen and thats a part of who i am. I remember in my second year with my covert narc ex that we started talking about finding a house to buy together and i told her i wanted a house with a shop to work on my vehicles and continue my passion because that meant a lot to me. I could see in her attitude and face that she absolutely hated my passion or it bothered her that i was that adamant about it. I told her thats one thing i wont ever change and i think thats one thing that started her discard of me. She ironically stopped talking about moving in after that day

Mate I would love to hear RED flags for people you work with

Unlocking your smartphone while you sleep is an instant fucking dealbreaker - most people have their banking apps and sensitive emails on there. The fuck.

Rich you are a great KZfaqr thanks for all the help man

Just started to watch/listen to Richard Cooper. The red pill terminology/lingo is accurate, informative, and hilarious at the same time

Rich? Your content and book changed my life. Thank you for doing what you do.

Again, this is the type of information that is best digested with experience. You may take notes and memorize the playbook but until you get on the playing field you won't recognize any of this. But if you ignore any of these warnings you will pay.

Very good Rich!

This video is Complete greatness... listen to it guys and apply it

the more I read the Rational Male and watch your videos both old and new, the number of red flags my ex ticked off

The ads before your videos of the blonde woman are hilarious.

Wow you hit the nail on the head few times. I was married 17yrs got divorced and on my second going on 7yrs. And I’m realizing I’m a Livin handyman and sexless she doesn’t even make me feel wanted. I know it’s getting close to the end. Listening to you I realize I’m a Alpha male. Just a matter of time.

Says "No need for a condom, If I get pregnant I'll just get an abortion." Or says "No need for a condom I'm on birth control (or will use MAP pill). Happened to me and then after in a casual convo she said if she got pregnant she'd keep it and just give it up for adoption. She either forgot her original notions or was lying. Or, wants to get preggers to guilt you into staying with her. Big RED FLAG.

Awesome video.

As always, great survival tips.

27:38 dude I thought he said, "we got a few superchads rolling through" 😂 hell yeah brother

Bending the knee starts with the marriage proposal. Men, if you ever propose. Do it standing up

As a woman who pretty much understand and agree with almost everything discussed here, I feel bad for men. For me, I’ve decided to simply stop dating... or trying to date. I don’t think any of it is worth it. I’m not quite sure I want kids and I don’t like sex enough to go looking for a bf. I already know that’s not fair to any man who dates me. At least I admit that, I’m under no illusion. I think most men here if you examine yourself deep down, you’ll realize you actually detest women. You probably deal with women ONLY because you need sex and you aren’t gay. That’s gotta be hard. 😞 I’m not just saying that because I’m mad about the content/comments. I’m not! I agree with y’all! How do you go about seeking someone to have sex with knowing that you hate them all deep down?!

The Chris Rock line was spot on, Rich. Look at Patrice O'Neal's comedy. Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr etc everyone says he was the funniest of them and the best lady's man. He tells red pill jokes and was on the Black Phillip podcast talking about nothing but red pill stuff. That he'd say to women. In their face. And totally dominate the argument 😂

In an LTR atm, shes not perfect but none of these flags have popped up as of yet. Regardless I always keep my eye open, since I used to be a blue pilled dude , now I’m focused on my purpose to become a doctor, at the gym, eating healthy etc, and she’s in my frame currently. Rational male, this channel, and before the trainwreck are truly a blessing

My experience with my wife on anti-depressants was pretty much the same, for the three years she was on them, we had sex once a year. And it was so bad, I didn't finish.

There is no logical reason for a man of value to be in a relationship in this day and age. We have the most access to sex than any of our previous ancestors without the hassle of committing ourselves to one woman for our entire life and yet most men are too blinded by their need for female validation, in terms of one high smv woman staying faithful to them forever, to ever see what a great time it is to be a high value man. I personally love the times we are in, easy access to hot women and great opportunities to make money due to unstable economies. Men should really stop complaining about not being able to find the “one” and understand that as long as you stay in top shape (most won’t do this) and become financially independent (most won’t do this either) you could not be living in any better of times.

good question: which one of these red flags would you make an exception for? anyone who knows women, basically knows one who doesnt exemplify ANY of these is rare. so which do you tolerate and why? good one-off video

I've met a few women that said the same thing where they claimed that most of their friends were guys because you know women don't really get along with each other that much and had two different women that said that exact same thing and in reality they of course we're just going to keep talking to other men while trying to have a boyfriend the app that I'm being period. I learned that the hard way the first time I ever heard that when I was young and then met a few women since then that tried to say that and that's a dead giveaway red flag when you meet a woman and they tell you that

"How come you've never been married?" "Because im too busy investing. Cant do that when your married."

1,00:13 😹. Thank you Rich for your great channel.

Any type of insurance other than term is a waste of money. Insurance is NOT a good "investment" vehicle. You're better off investing money in a mutual fund.

Obviously you are right about basically everything in this video, and I think you do a great job with all these. I know it’s not my place, but I just really wanted to say, it IS possible to be loved for who you are, not what you provide. most women are shallow and vindictive and mean, but some are not. You won’t meet us at a bar or Instagram though. I’ve been in a LTR for 5 years and we have been thru it. He’s had several jobs, got fired from a couple, walked out of a couple others, I think the longest stretch was 5 months no job. His car broke down a couple years ago and he didn’t have $ for a new one for a while. But I didn’t stop loving him just cause I had to pay the bills for a while and drive him everywhere. I did that bc he is so smart, we compliment each other intellectually, he’s the only one I can talk to about politics and men’s rights, and just cause I love him with all my heart. I am not gonna say I am perfect and have no problems, I do, I am on anti depressants among other issues, but I just really want to hit it home that there is women out there that will love you for you. I know women treat you guys so bad nowadays and it is horrible and heartbreaking. I’m sorry that you have been treated this way, and I am sorry for overstepping. I just... I just really hope you guys find good girls.

Envy , this could be a purchase you make , a relationship with family member or friend, a success in your life or career , she comments on her family members in a way that they seem to have more or attain more than her . Jealousy, although a small amount of jealousy feels like flattering to you . If this continues or gets worse to the point it begins to be irrational then there is most definitely underlying mental health problems. If you cannot shake this idea of jealousy even with facts or rational conversation. Leave the relationship immediately. Why I say this is because I experienced it but I did not see it as I had no experience of it before. Red pill community has woken me and given me the tools to spot it and deal with it but best of all it gave me the ability justify my relationship break up .

If her ex-boyfriend is such a great guy, why the fuck are they broken up? HE broke up with HER and she's HOPING he will take her back. Because I haven't talked to any of my exes since we broke up. No reason to.

Dip means get up outta there lol Come on Rich get with the lingo buddy. Much respect that was funny.

Reconnecting with an ex- should only be undertaken when there is clear evidence that whatever issue(s) caused the divorce/separation the first time are openly being addressed during the "let's get re-aquainted/vetting phase of a renewed relationship. Also if you see new/old signs of potential problem patterns now is the time to bring them to her attention.

About a year ago I had a dog who was the sweetest, kindest Lab I've ever met. About a month after this girl moved in with me any time she came around he would get aggressive. Nipping at her, growling, showing all sorts of abnormal behavior for him. So I started doing some investigating. Turns out she had been getting into my underwear drawer and stealing money (About $80 by the time I caught it) as well as smoking around my kids in the house. Which I had said at the beginning of the relationship was a deal breaker. She was out of my house the next day. But I wouldn't have caught it had it not been for that dog

Disagree with sleeping away from your phone. Phones are needed in emergencies, break in, fire, medical emergency (heart attacks, accidents, and strokes are leading causes of death). Need the phone in reach at all times. Further, you spend presumably 2/3rd of the day by your phone so it seems bizarre to worry about these waves at night. If really worried, turn it off or on Airplane mode.

Removed from subscription feed. Still subscribed, but had to go to your channel to find it. Stefan Molyneux's Women, Masculinity, and Riots was still up. Arbitrary?

My ex threw just about every one of these red flags..but the good news,she started all those same things with the “Just a friend” she had that she left me for..immediately into their relationship,where with me it took a year..

If you're going to have a kid and get life insurance, have a trust for your children be the beneficiary and have a trusted person like a friend or sibling as the trustee. Your trustee can then make sure the money is legitimately used for your kid's support and not the mom's next boyfriend's new car.

How can you not love this content? The dislikes are from salty woman or beta simps.

There are so many red flags out there that 99.9% of women will have at least one of them. I guess it boils down to avoiding the most important ones for you! My top three for a 1 year LTR are: 1) her relation with her father and how her mom (and her friends) treat(s) the men in their lives and past lives. 2) if you find (and it bothers you) that she is more focused in things/chores (buying, small projects, travel, supers with friends, 'improving how you look') rather than getting to know you, your likes and showing she enjoys spending time with you. If those awkward silences are abundant the first year... you are NOT compatible and she is filling the void with HER projects. You must end it or you will be miserable. Specially if she is bringing out the worst in you (anxiety, jealousy, insecurity, anger, doubt). Your friends will let you know or seem concerned for you. 3) Slowly finding out she was VERY promiscuous and she won't be your slut. You have this feeling she is holding back A LOT sexually. She does not even share her kinks with you; after you lay your on the line and she finds you weird. That is a sign there is no trust here and it is all transactional "love"; the minute you hit a hard patch it will be over (losing a job, having kids, being ill). Or the minute she get attention from someone with higher SMV she will not flinch. I left my ex before we even had kids. We were together 5 years. The lack of communication was not tolerable for me anymore; i felt I was losing my mind. And I could not open her up. I sometimes think it was a combination of her daddy issues, the way she was brought up and all the men she was with. And on my side I needed more affection that she could not give... She probably had many ups and down with men...and she would protect herself from me despite my blue pill ways...wait specially because of my blue pill ways. Never ever put a woman on a pedestal.

I guess I should have known when she told me "youre here to pay" is that a Red Flag?

look in her medicine cabinet, check for depakote, lamictal, valproate, they're drugs for bipolar

Nice video! Very interesting as always to watch. But if a woman is a compliment to a mans mission and not the mission itself, what is a man to a woman?

57:00 great answer

My ex just wwnt to therapy for the past 5 months. We broke up and she got put on some meds and now I have no clue who she is! Totally different woman! Dodge a bullet there!

Some thoughts on a Long distance relationship, Same rules / thoughts?

I had to learn the going out with friends the hard way, with more than one girl, I was made to feel bad for thinking, if she's getting dressed up, to go dancing and drinking with other guys, sorry with her friends, why are you going out to dance with other guys?? shouldn't you want to go with your own guy, if you want to go dancing?

i'm living with someone, it went sour only after 6 months, couldnt make her happy, now I have to find a place to live buying a sailboat possibly, done with LTRs

A moment of silence for the fallen soldier that gave up his super successful business and went back to a 9-5. 😔

Man one of my friends needs to hear these red flags. Problem is he is in denial. You couldn't convince him if you literally banged his girlfriend in front of him.

Behaviors changing during engagement.

Real men also do culture, paint paintings, build rustic furniture or plays guitar in a surf band with their buddies

Women will never tell you everything, very true, itll be like picking out chicken teeth to find out things

Major Red Flag: Her mom(which has short pink hair) calls you and yells at the phone, complains to you because her daughter didn't answer the phone calls way back to home after having a date with you.

Your laugh made my day

Rich, Many times I’ve seen situations where the gay best friend has had sex with the girl when they’ve been high or drunk AND giving them poor relationship advice

What happen to Dr Shawn?

Hypnosis is real. You start to believe she actually wants you after enough time.

i literally got the most feminist ad before starting your video rn from toyota lmao 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Ha! Covid brought my LTR back into the relationship. I was pleasantly surprised. Until I found out her working from home basically ended the affair she was having with co worker. Can't make this stuff up.

How to avoid betatization by 1000 concessions. Eventually you’re gonna get asked 1000 times to do things you were already planning on doing. Feels like a checkmate cause you’re not gonna avoid doing it if you already wanted to do it.

My favorite one.... I have a lot of guy friends because they are less drama.

check out the 1:15:55 moment 😂😂😂 Rich is so damn hilarious , love this Episode

Girls night out?! HtotheELL no! I see my girls for lunch, spa dates, shopping during the day, maybe 3-4 times a year for a birthday dinner, and then it's early evening. Oh, wait! We also go to the symphony/ballet/opera because their husbands aren't into it. But there's 8 of us (28-78 yrs) and we're not on the prowl! I would never EVER be in a relationship and then "go out with the girls" to get male approbation.
