Maybe one of the most important and "must know" videos on this channel.

"Do I look fat in this dress? Don't be ridiculous, you look fat in everything".

1>6 months dating before becoming her boyfriend 2>don't buy her affection i.e. gifts 3>no living together 4>no friend zoning 5>always answer positively when asked about how she looks. 6> ??? there I saved you 14 minutes!

1. Never be a boyfriend before 6 months of dating 2. Don't buy things for her 3. never live together out of connivence 4. never let a women friend zone you 5. If they ask anything about their look/feeling/ or anything about them, answer them positively

I think the most important rule, before you ever start thinking about dating, is knowing who you are as a person first. Knowing your strengths, your limitations, what you like and what you don't, what you stand for and what is unacceptable to you.

For the most part this is one of the healthiest relationship videos I've seen on KZfaq.

You hit the nail on the head. It's better to get to know each other than to get in mess and misery.

My god the amount of gold this man is putting out.

Thank you so much for your advises!

This is the best basic advice for a man. This could have helped me 20 years ago.

Damn, I wish that I knew this a few years ago... Although I am 24, I guess it's never too late to learn new stuff. Thank you, Tripp!

Extremly good advices. 👍🏽 Thx for sharing.

I swear, it's like playing mind games to get a woman. You're constantly thinking if I do this what happens, what if I do that, what happens. You made some good points though. Especially #3 & #4

If I am with someone for 4/5/6 months and we decide to stop seeing each other. Its going to hurt whether we have the boyfriend/girlfriend title or not.

Tripp's advice is just the best 💯.

Hit the nail on the head. Great video!

Great and very important advices! Thank you!

Good video Tripp. Friend zone is complete waste of time.

I gonna invest in your course because I have been following for a long time and your advice on youtube is on point, so considering that your hook program will be fire!

Great & succint video from Tripp

amazing information ! we appreciate that !!

Very practical advice on the earth!

Very nice advice . Good stuff

Thank you Tripp! You're the best.

For that last one: *You look fine/it looks fine.* That's it!

Yes tripp, you are absolutely right. Went through it and am happy now i did the right thing :D:D:D . Great job keep it up !

Friend zone broke my heart , made me feel like a pussy, stopped me from meeting someone else, ruined my life

Great advice Tripp

I feel that by 3 months it could be potentially a relationship or even calling that person your girlfriend however the 6 month point it would be more serious. It just seems weird to me if you've been seeing someone for 3+ months and you haven't become pretty much exclusive. I think with any relationship how much you commit depends on how long your relationship has been so far. Definitely 6 months is a more serious relationship than 3 if the relationship even gets that far.

Such a great content👍

Good info 👍🏽 Subscribed

You are so correct on all points.

Great video!

FROM NYC: Good one. They say 1 yr for a couple dating over 50 equals five years together due to life experience.

Thank you Tripp for waking me up.

Nice tips. I have never been pursuing girls. I don't waste my time looking for girls. Instead I intend to apply theses rules to be in a healthy relation ship

Older female here. Agree with everything here except #2. Yes, each person should be acknowledging birthdays, Christmas, etc.....but you guys need to know one of the biggest turn ons for a woman is getting flowers. All women love flowers.....So, if you are looking to score some points or if you screwed up big time, send her some flowers. Works every time, guys!

Great advice 👏👏👏

About no3 I couldn't agree more As you said I learn that on the hard way, but about the friend zone thing, I'll take that any time. Only two rules. Don't speak for more than minute on the phone, always have a phisical encounter. And second don't agree with her too easily always banther with her. And as a bonus, try to act like a lover but always keep telling her you are just friends. I hope that I can help someone with this cause it took me a long time to learn this.😄

The only time you should ever live with someone is if they are your spouse.

Also for the second one if you spend a lot of Money on a woman, they may not leave you but see it as an opportunity to take advantage of you. I can say this from seeing my uncle go through it with his two marriages. He was a plastic surgeon and both of his wives to a degree took advantage of his wealth. They liked his lifestyle more than they liked him even if he had kids with one of them.

Well said 👌

All good points ! I was one not to rush into anything.

Awesome advice

This was really interesting. While solid points, one thing that struck me was the potential influence cultural differences will have. It's the one thing I'd say about this, be sensitive to social and cultural norms where you are.

My favorite response when a woman asks something like "Does my ass look fat in these jeans?" is...."Hmmm...I can't tell, I'll need to examine it closely"

Thanks man❤️

If a woman cannot handle the truth then she does not need to be with me.

Yeah, it's either she likes you or she rejects you. Don't ever let her friend zone you coz you just have to take a step into the zone and know that the zone is full of dark energy that will mess with your self-esteem and possibly your sanity. (At least that's what it feels like for me even though I've never been friend zoned before. I can just imagine what guys out there are dealing with as they try to get out of the zone.)

Wow...thanks Tripp

Thank you for sparing me more emotional abuse from women

had a bad trip.. Till I got Tripp's advice.. 👍😅😅 just kidding.. Thanks for the tips Tripp..👌👍❤️

Wise advice.

Sir, thank you.

Tripp what if she wants to hear the words " I love you too" from a guy in less than 6 months..

Appreciate his argument that you shouldn’t live with someone unless you’re sure it’s something real and long term. I’ve always been against it for a variety of reasons.

Excellent advice for every young man I wish I knew this years ago. One other thing-don’t ever marry a narcissist

I’ve been married 3 times. 16 years..... 11 months.......last one 11 years. I grew up with three sisters too.... this dude is so accurate... on things I’ve seen.... I got divorced in 2013 and haven’t dated since.... I said F it all. Well ... I’m gonna have to go again but this app dating....The old school way was easy.....see someone out, at a club... wherever..talk and get their number. Oh well..... new school...... maybe

I’ve made the mistake of moving in with her before we even dated. Disastrous story. Don’t do it, it’s a trap

Tripp, I have a question about #2 at 3:47, which I also heard you speak to on a recent podcast episode: How would you reconcile that advice with the guy's authentic personality? What if you are buying her stuff out of financial abundance and your own goofy playfulness, because you genuinely want to--not because you are "trying" to give-to-get, nor "because it seems to be working"? Example: I have had some ideas (if I ever have the opportunity) to do things like this idea: Buy her flowers TOGETHER when she least expects it, such as when we're already at the grocery store together. At some point while we're buying legit groceries, ensure we walk by the floral section and pick one out for her on the spot that matches her sun dress. Or I've even thought it would be fun to try to make her laugh and/or blush by telling her something like "you definitely need one" and buy her one of the cheap wooden flowers at 7/11 when we're are already there together, originally just buying gas and Cokes. To clarify, I'm not talking about BRINGING cheap flowers to her (probably definitely a no-no), I'm talking about doing so to try to praise her (see: #5) in her presence. Would an example such as that still be considered buying her affection?

Jeremy from Jersey just subscribed

I agreed with your points until #5. You want the girl a little insecure and guessing how much you find her attractive. If you praise her appearance all the time she will think you're trying too hard to get her approval and will lose respect for you.

Tripp this must be a perfect trip

Number 3. Aye!

Wise words

It's important to dig deep on the relationship she had with her biological father, and what the experience with her parents has/had been growing up. Follow it up with asking about her relationship with her uncle and grandfather if any.

As a chick, if they buy too much stuff/gifts it makes me think they see me as an object and not who I really am. I don't even take the guys self esteem into the thought.

You should be real. It is not just what you say but how you say it. Kindness in your manner helps work through differences. Friendship is the most important part of marriage after intellectual and physical chemistry. Emotional support when a problem comes seals the deal.

This guy knows his stuff😊

I agree with with the first 4 out of 5 , last one should be case by case and/or intermittently , it keeps them in check and they’ll keep trying harder to please you by wearing something YOU like , rather than what she likes

Thanks for the video, sir. Could you help me with one thing though? You said 6 months of dating before calling her your girlfriend. But most of the other YT coaches (and I think you as well) have said to kiss her after the first date. How do you reconcile kissing her and not being in a "relationship" with her?

Hey trip good work..really helpful..but I'lld like to find out this girl has been projecting signs that she likes me..weve been talking texting fast forward she doesn't reply to my texts and after I continue with my life she calls me first and asks for a link up. We meet up at a park..all she is doing is complaining to me about her personal life and I happen to sympathise with her. Then what caught my attention is her text saying sorry for sidelining you🤔..i honestly don't know how to react to this could it be a test?

What if you have been together with her and she is comfortable with sharing he problems with you, is it okay if you do stuffs for her and buy things she say she likes or going extra mile in solving her problems?

6 months is but a fleeting moment, you can’t know anyone in that period of time. If we can both be realistic it’s more like 6 years before you get to know anyone.

When a man looks within, truly finds himself and his worth, values and moral compass (same goes for women) and doesn't need to turn to you tube on how to create a relationship with a woman, then he is winning. Boys and girls that are trying out stuff like this are so transparent because they haven't developed their own unique character and unconditional love for themselves and I feel for them as many of them do get taken advantage of by unevolved as you say, girls, not women. I have had a few male friends that may have wanted to be in a relationship with me be it serious or casual but knew from the get go that was not going to happen and who I've also given advice to (being yourself and not debasing yourself for approval and possibility of sex) and somehow we are still friends? I guess that can be chalked up to the fact we're mature adults and each think the other is a good person and adds value to one another's lives 🤷 men and women can be friends, just sayin' I think what is key to creating and maintaining a beautiful sustainable relationship is knowing and loving oneself first and foremost, that's most of the work done right there because then you know what you want, you establish clear and healthy boundaries, very quickly you will see possible compatibility and whether it is worth pursuing. 100 percent agree on taking things slowly. I personally don't know how people can be hooking up with so many different people, like the sacredness of relationships and true intimacy is just not respected or valued any more. There are a lot of men and women hurting out there who have a lot of wounds and negative feelings about each other and rightly so but please allow yourself the time to heal and realise that you attract what you are putting out. If you still haven't addressed your inner wounds you'll find yourself in similar situations and relationships. Much love, light and healing to you all and may you find a soul mate when the time is right to share your journey, God bless 🤝💓🌱🦋🙏🏽🕉️

hey Tripp do you have to marry someone to move in together? what if you have been together 1 and a half year but do not want to marry,but live together ?

Don’t even talk about living together on the first 2 dates.

Incredibly wise.

Yes, compliment her. Also there is no shame in saying "sorry". You don't have to mean it, but it gives you more power than the fool that is too proud to say "I'm sorry" to a lady he is courtimg

I would say one caveat with the first one is that 6 months can be too long, or too short depending on the person. If you're socially adept and can get through to people quickly, then sure, you can be exclusive faster than that, but if you really need the time to get to know someone, sure, 6 months is reasonable

I was looking for this specific video for weeks before I moved in. I thought for sure that he said to give it six months before moving in... Thing is, I met my current partner which dating several women. She was the only one I really clicked with. She wasn't dating anyone else - so naturally we started seeing each other once per week. After about three months, she invited me to a family occasion and I met her parents... After six months, I moved in to her place (it was much better than mine...) - as I was living there about six nights per week anyway at that point. I like these rules, but I do think you're best off going with your trusty gut on these things too. Chiefly, don't decide to commit or to move in or marry out of scarcity/thinking it's going to fix things or give you greater control over your relationship. If you don't feel 100% sure on things, then yes, ease on the brakes for a while and see if that helps. If she pressures you to progress and you're not totally comfortable, then just say no. If she's not willing to wait, then it wasn't meat to be - better off finding that out now than later.

If by 6 weeks we aren't exclusive, I am gone. If we aren't an official couple by 12 weeks, I am gone. Most women aren't going to wait around 6 months. If a guy needs that long to know then he is not emotionally ready for a relationship. Women are not emotionally immature for not waiting 6 months. I would highly reccommend disregarding this man's advice.

Yikes I dodged a bullet.Thank you Tripp.

Yup great advice-only thing that I don’t like is how often times for men, if we reject the offer to be friends from a woman-then we’re seen as rude or being salty. Another double standard-women can reject a man saying he’s too fat or ugly and it’s tough luck buddy!-yet if a man rejects a woman for those same reasons we’re “shallow”.

and contrary to what all women tell you, NEVER show weakness, insecurity, or your soft underbelly to your woman... it's why I lost the love of my life.

I agree of most. Yes I m in friendzone with a girl I fall in love, but with others I don't make compromise. Lesson learn. But why not in firendzone for sometime and then trying to exit friendzone ? Why ?

I love it

When a girl says she wants time and space for a bit, would she text you or you have too

Dude first time coming across you you have 880 something thousand viewers wow impressive. I don't know if all these rules apply though I really don't I think everybody's a unique person and they will span their time together accordingly. I do like your boundaries though bro you got some tough ass boundaries but you remind me of myself hard nose Capricorn

I would really put a damper on the first rule. I think you should ask for you own limit of time, like for me it would be 2-3 months to be sure. If the person can't give me that, then we call it quits and we both dodged a bullet. Nothing to do with maturity, just means we are not on par in terms of proximity.

The 6th month commitment thing, actually, i think to a woman, if she stays that long in the "dating" phase especially if u two are exclusively seeing each other already and she states that she does want a relationship, then that my friend is what they call a "situationship". Emotionally mature women dont stick in "situationships". If she a good high value woman, she will walk if u dont give it a title by 6 months, because why the would u two be seeing each other? What i found is 4-5mos, 6mos max would be a good time.

Yeah but “how” do you tell a girl you don’t wanna be her boyfriend yet.

Also what if you do want to make friends with women that you are not as attracted too? or if you already on relationship?

I hurt my girlfriend by speaking very rudely we were talking on phone ..she was alright after that incident but when had something came.. I told her I will be back in few hours but at that time she told me these word's " TAKE CARE, BYE, AND I LOVE YOU" I didn't got that at that but when I came back and tried to call her she didn't picked up. Today is the 4th day I implemented the No contact but she is still sending me her pics and updates on Snapchat "I didn't opened that" What i have to do? Is there any sort of mistake have done?

I completely agree with the not be official boyfriend but not the buying stuffs cause all women love it & most women won’t think the guy is a loser but instead most women will think they are being valued & most women love to be valued . Buying affection is the best part ! They will appreciate it cause they will feel worth it !

So you have an area where we us can approach with out getting affected by covid 19?

Agree with most everything but the last one. No you don't always say something positive, this is really weak. Oh if I don't say that I like everything she asks me about she might not like me, boo hoo. If the woman asks you how something looks and it doesn't look good grow a backbone and tell her that you don't like it.

#5 “Praise her freely…Only the masculine side of your woman will grow through challenge; The feminine side thrives on support and praise.” -David Deida, The Way of The Superior Man This is not a “yes” or “no" question. Either way, you flunk the test. Here’s a possible suggestion: Her: “Do these jeans make my ass look fat?” You: “Lemme see? [Take her hand and spin her] Whoa, babe! Those jeans make your ass look sexy as fuck! Daaamn, baby!!”

the last one is soo true.

You need to know HOW to get friend zoned . When your at work and some woman is pushing for a relation ship you need to be very carefull. A rebuff can end you in HR.
