Great video. I remember early on in my relationship with my wife I started calling her a pet name she ended up not liking, so she asked me to stop. Later she started calling me a pet name I didn't like. When I asked her to stop she told me I'd just have to deal with it. I responded by calling her the pet name she didn't like. Instantly she realized the double standard she was trying to push and apologized. She stopped calling me that pet name I didn't like. Stay strong gents, have self respect and others of value will respond in kind.

This is a REALLY important topic. Assertiveness is something I always struggle with. Seems like I'm either being walked all over or making people upset. I can't help but think that happens BECAUSE people are so used to my niceness that any resistance contrasts that in a big way
@ThatGuy-sc5rx Жыл бұрын
People get upset when they don't get their way. You are right, people grow accustomed to manipulating people to get the result they want and when you put down boundaries they get "offended" I always found it funny the same ones complaining about me being direct were the same ones out of line in the first place. I have no tolerance for the games, lack of respect and manipulation. So I shut it down or call it out as soon as I see it being done with me. Some say that's "aggressive" or "confrontational" but I think it's just having some self respect and boundaries.

Obviously, I don't know you, but sometimes people who are not assertive become aggressive when they finally get fed up. Of course, sometimes the other person is being unreasonable. Because you can only control yourself, it might be good to make sure that you're saying "no" in a courteous and kind manner. I like the techniques offered in this video because they can be memorized to be used when a situation suddenly arises and you have to think on your feet.

I’ll watch this video later. But based off the title. Bro. Stop glorifying the 🐱. Maintain boundaries. You know that thing women do when they get ticked off or upset and they playfully slap you or smack you? I hate that. This girl I was trying to get with I went on a date with and she did that slapping thing and I told her to stop or I would leave her there if she did it once more. We’ve been seeing each other for 5 years. She’s never done it since. Set boundaries and respect yourself and she will respect you, too. If she doesn’t, it’s very easy: LEAVE.

"No" and "vacation" are the two most powerful words in the American English language. Having emergency savings worth a year of bills empowers a man not to be a door mat. No fear of lossing a job. It also means making sacrifices and character building to achieve that level of wealth. I'm never scared to cut my income in half for another job. I learned so much about money and industries in the process.
@alexbjj895 Жыл бұрын
One of the most important lessons to be assertive is the notion that whatever happens whether you decide or not to set up boundaries/stand up for your self, or not, you are now responsible for the outcome. It does not shine good light on you to complain about the mistreatment of others when no assertive action has been taken - it is considered by others that you are complaining about the compromises you made. Conversely, by being a person who is capable of saying No, establish and enforce boundaries, and walk away from circumstances in respectful but effective ways, you communicate to others that you are a man who manages and respects himself well. Bonus: It makes you so attractive to women!

I had an upcoming gig with a bandmate with a very short notice, and he showed up to rehearsal with his new girlfriend. One hour into practice she starts pressuring him to leave because of some "honeymoon-phase" dinner they had with her family. I didn't want to overstep, but I did feel ambushed because I had cleared my own agenda and reserved quality time for full rehearsal. I let it slide for one single time, as I felt on the edge of saying regretable things, but I dif have the talk with my bandmate, I let him know how important my time was to cut rehearsal short because he was acting like a doormat, and let him know it was normal, and important to defend rehearsal time at all cost (are we musicians or not?), even if it meant coming across like selfish a$$holes to other people. Defending time for himself or my his mission, is the one single most important moments where any man should be fine with being seen like an a$$hole.

Started learning this in my 20s, better late than never. I used writing as an avenue to make sense of my boundaries and my nature. Wasn't deeply religious, naturally an empath, and was taught to sacrifice my wants and needs to create as much peace as possible. Not necessarily due to abuse, but I just was never taken seriously when I was younger. It was definitely the most exposed in ny romantic relationships, where I understood just how wrong those habits affected me when there was an issue that needs addressed as I bottled up and tolerated so much that I wouldn't explode, but I felt a loss of control of myself. Took solitude to allow me enough introspection to start responding to boundaries being challenged at the moment of occurrence. Though I also emphasize control over how much past rage affects you during these times. It's easy to let it slip out. This is only for fellows who are just recently unlearning passivity.

One of the best things I did to improve myself is joining a lodge. Having dozens, if not hundreds, of brothers who will look out for you and support you has literally saved my life. Your last piece of advice is the best one. As iron sharpens iron, so to do good men improve each other. I've allowed myself to become too complacent in life and after 24 years of being married, I'm facing the possibility if not reaching 25. My support network has kept me strong and doesn't judge.

Antonio! Great stuff as always. I'm a recovering people pleaser with nearly two years of sobriety now. When I quit drinking, and put my life in line with my values, my self development skyrocketed. My priorities are, in order: Faith, self-care, family, business, and play/recreation. I try to fulfill these by my values of integrity, courage, commitment, and perseverance, and discernment. I'm a cattle hauler, and a cowboy of sorts, so I wrote this little poem to better help me embody my values and establish my own sort of code or creed. It's as metaphorical as it is practical. It goes like this: Keep your leather oiled and your fences tight Work and pray with all your might. Know when to give and when to stand Always ride for your own brand. Persevere through all kinds of weather Treat your neighbors well and your critters better. -John "Skinner"

For me , trying to be a constant people pleaser only lead to burn out and fueled further inner conflict . When l wore a younger man's clothes , l'd permit others to emotional manipulate me , in order to receive acceptance and validation , until l realized my self respect was equally important . Reprioritizing myself made a world of difference , even if it made me appear selfish and narrascistic . Today l have zero concern whether others may like me or not and as a result have found contentment and a greater level of self-esteem by not always being agreeable .

A good way to quit any addiction is changing your self image. This can be any addiction. From pornography to hardcore drugs. What I mean by changing your self image, im saying to trick yourself. Instead of saying “I’m trying to quit blank”, say instead, “I don’t blank”. Here is an example: James hangs out with his three friends. All four of them are heavy smokers and James wants to quit. His friend offers James a sig and he says “no thanks, I’m trying to quit smoking”. His friend are bugging him and keep telling him. James is sweating and he likes the smell and then, he grabs the joint and takes a puff. He is back to smoking Henry is in the same situation. Instead he says, “no thanks, I don’t smoke”. His friends leave him alone and don’t offer one again. Don’t tell them your trying to stop, tell them you don’t do it period. This really helped me I got this info from a KZfaqr named Hamza. He is a mental health KZfaqr. I love that guy.

Thank you, Antonio. This was a great video. There's a lot of encouragement and challenge here, and we all need that. I just left a job with good pay that was not respecting my boundaries. They told me I would work the hours I laid out when I was hired, but instead had me in at obscure times, working long hours, and doing other people's work every day. They were even trying to "promote" me, with no increase in pay! Just more hours and more work! I'm a college student, just trying to get by and find a career where I can grow as a man. When I pushed back against them, I saw that double standards were surfacing, and knew I needed to do something. I realized that I was "the doormat" of the company, because I was "a nice guy," and when I challenged that, management did NOT respond well. So I did the hard thing, found a new job with a bit of a pay-cut in an environment that will respect my time, my schedule, my boundaries. I appreciate your respect for the religious men out there. I'm a Christian, and so the boundary of "Sundays are for God" has been essential in my work/school life. I also find that I have so much more meaningful purpose when I'm pursuing God throughout the week. It impacts people. I have many people ask me why I am the way that I am, why I work so hard, why I am so peaceful or respectful. I tell them that it's because I have a set of values that I will not compromise, and I am living for something outside of myself. Keep doing what you do, Antonio. Your work does a lot for us young (and less young) men out here!

Great video! I typically lead with no, if someone asks they are pleasantly surprised when I say yes, it adds to everyone’s excitement. at the job when it comes to training the new employees, at home when it comes to attending something, or even being asked to borrow money. If someone is expecting a no and receive a yes the overall excitement is higher, the downside I guess is the anxiety I cause people being afraid to asks anticipating a no as a response from me.

Knowing i had money in the bank which would prevent me from being on a low-income lease i told her no. But she wouldn’t shut up about it until i went in with her, filled out the form and the employee is like ‘I’m sorry, with your assets you don’t qualify to be on a lease here’ i politely said thank you and walked out lol. Glad i didn’t end up signing anything with her cause we only lasted another 3 months.

There would be times i needed to sleep early and she would ask me to this thing for her because she missmanaged her time and wouldn't make it on time. Or times where i wanted to spend time with my family but i would leave early because she wanted me to be with her. The list goes on and on. I really had no selfsteem back then and was very afraid of letting her down. But now I can look back and be glad that i left that relationship and focused on how i feel and what i want to do.

In meetings at work, I struggle with participating. I feel like others in the meeting are very talkative and there is seldom a time for me to get a word in edgewise. I think that is just an excuse though. How would you recommend I make my voice heard in meetings without comming across as aggressive?

I can see the comic-book behind you more clearly. It has Wolverine on the cover. However, I see only one comic-book. Are you a fellow comic-book collector, or, is it only one book that is special to you in some way? If you are a fellow comic-book collector, I would love to know about your collection.

My female cousin guilt tripped her brother into, "you only have one mother you should buy her the things she wants". Both of them are gold digging harpies.

No shade and no disrespect but, why get into a long term relationship or get married in the first place? Just avoid all those things in the first place by getting on your purpose and get to the bag 💰💰? Then later on, have a 2-3 girl rotation with no strings attached? Marriage is a major responsibility and what you're going to do if she files for divorce? 80% of divorces are filed by women.

If you desire to have children, probably, they will grow more healthily with parents in a long term relationship or marriage. I think most men, even playboys, sooner or later, will meet a woman along the way who will "convince" them to maintain an exclusive long-term relationship.

Hey! I have a problem that I feel is shared by the (younger) guys these days. We start chatting with a girl, we're hitting it off pretty good, but if we ask for a date, or any kind of in-person time, it's immediately blown off. I don't think I'm un-dateable, based on body language and other factors it's pretty clear these girls at least like being around / chatting with us, but there's just a wall there when it comes to getting even very casual time with them 1 on 1. I hate texting in general, don't feel like it is real conversation, so I am very against "getting to know" someone over snapchat or text. I'm an engineer, I have my shit together, and have mostly worked through my social anxieties. I want to be clear that I do not do hookups or FWB. I'm Christian and I want to take / be taken seriously. Any tips from the guys around here?

When I was still dating I had a 3 interaction rule, and it started with conversations. If you are just chatting then you need to organize a date within the first 3 conversations, don't wait for them to ask. You don't want to put it off, it's important to express yourself and your interest early on. If she can't make it once or twice that's fine, but again if you get cancelled on 3 times you should move on. You should also have your own expectations for a level of intimacy and signs of romantic interest in your dates, if you feel it isn't going anywhere after 3 dates I say move on. None of this is anything to get mad about, it's not worth trying to argue or ask what you "did wrong" or anything like that, if it's not going anywhere just move on. Women talk and you don't want to ruin your reputation by blowing up and getting emotional because something didn't work out, a girl might even introduce you to her friend instead. I understand 3 may seem like a low number and you may want to give someone more chances than that, whatever number you use just remember it's important to have boundaries. Some people who won't meet you might just be using you for the conversation, and some who will meet you might just be using you for the free meals, or they might not be that interested. Whatever yours is, have a boundary and move on so you aren't wasting too much time and missing out on the girl out there who is actually worth your time. I endured a lot of false-starts until I found the woman who is now my wife and I assure you it will be clear when you meet a good one.

In my experience, I dated one lady hoping to arrive at love in a few months. It didn't. I discovered more about what it meant to value myself and to be a husband in waiting. It was a messy road because of foundational ideas I had to say "no" to (Fathered by God by John Eldredge is a great book for this). I learned what and how to investigate about a woman while we were still chatting with the group: topics of hobbies, dreams, important activites, especially religious practices as we both are Christians. The woman I am currently married to is the second person I dated, the first person I courted. Her heart trusts in me and I make sure to continue affirming that trust. We met at University and got married a couple years later at 32 and 27. Saying "no" to foundational ideas requires a Source of truth regarding my future that I have only in planning but no actual knowledge of. If you would like to know more of my story, hit me up sometime.
