    I started asking myself this a few years ago and was determined to become the person I so badly wanted to marry one day. In my own way of course. I found myself really becoming the best version of myself and strive to continue to do that throughout the rest of my life. I then found myself really truly loving myself bc of the work I did to learn about me to know what changes I needed to make to grow as a human. I learned what works for me and what doesn’t and how to strive to be better while also being kind to myself and showing myself grace. Last year I found exactly that in a man and have never been so in love. This is the best advice someone can give about love and dating. If you seriously want a great relationship and partner

      I get what Jordan says on becoming the best version of yourself as he is not suggesting this doesn't come with a dragon to face but instead, he is explaining how this is a much better approach than being miserable.
      On regards of the past, I guess it comes down to the matter of "throw the first rock whoever among you that is free of sin". Yes, judgement comes from not being naive but again, becoming bitter, resenting and cynic is way worse than having a non-naive trust.

It's like saying "Capitalist Communists." 🤣

      5: One of his favorite talking points is the evils of "Ideology." He clearly doesn't't know what the word means, and apparently lacks the self awareness to realize that he is as "ideology ridden" as the strawmen he rants against so often.

    Here's another angle: when I was 18, I stood in the school library and wished for a genius to whom I could devote myself. Exactly 20 years later, when I needed him, he turned up - on a date arranged by a concerned workmate. He fell for me that evening, much to my surprise. Our married life involved an inordinate amount of devotion, regretted by neither of us, because we were soulmates, and absolutely ready for each other. The best thing he ever said to me was, 'I married you for your mind'. I can only say, with Jordan, work and suffer for what you want to see reflected back, and you will attract it to you.

Like he said so perfectly in the beginning: “That’s putting the cart ahead of the horse”. The question we should be asking is HOW DO I MAKE MYSELF THE PERFECT DATE? Then work on becoming that person and you’d be surprised at all the eligible potential candidates that your likely to find. There’s always gonna be the losers and creepers that try preying their way in to take you for granted or take advantage of someone but you’ll notice it right away by practicing what JP is saying.

But by utilizing his brilliant yet simple advice, your more likely to achieve this goal much easier and sooner as opposed to wasting time on the wrong ones.

The main "growth" I need to make is to learn not to be deceived by the very convincing fakes all around...or just plain get lucky to match with a truly good person and partner.

    Once again Jordan has made something easy to do. This man has so much empathy toward his fellow human being. Many times he gets very emotional when he talks about people who are in NEED. People who are lost and they don't know how to get better.
    I saw a clip of Jordan on a stage with an interviewer who had asked a question of Jordan. In the audience you can hear a man yelling..."I need help!! I'm unwell, I need help." You could hear this man sobbing, I mean SOBBING, the camera is on the area where the man was but it went back to a shot of Jordan looking over at the scene in front of him. I will never forget the look on Jordans face. He looked like he was in physical pain, tears filled up his eyes and told the security to bring him to the back and they would arrange some help for this broken man. Jordan, most likely, saved this man's life that day. So, because of Jordan being so emphatic I listen to what he has to say. He genuinely wants the best for mankind, one person at a time.
    Take a look in the mirror, like Michael Jackson says in his song "Man in the mirror" start there and really work at your goal. It doesn't have to be Earth shattering, maybe start with picking up that candy wrapper on the sidewalk. Nod your head, as a greeting, to a person on the street instead of looking away. Be the person you want to hang out with. Be a friend to someone who is marginalized, and without someone to talk to. Anyway, I wasn't planning on saying all this, it just came out.

    I was 16 in a high-school medical training program. My training mentor was Penny, she was 30. We eventually worked as Paramedic partners on the ambulance for many years. We a great team on and off duty. We built a successful life together, suffered and sacrificed together improving ourselves and our relationship.
    I knew her for 43 wonderful years. We lived together for 30 years, married 15 of them. Unfortunately she passed away 2020.
    But life goes on.

      Rick, thank you so much for sharing your experience- of an "unconventional" love(the age difference can throw some people off, they don't understand how 2 people who are so many years apart in age can have a healthy relationship- but when your souls have known eachother for eternity you don't see the age difference or feel it, it's just a number that has no bearing on the quality of your love for eachother)
      I am so sorry for your loss, but please know Penny is standing right beside you in spirit, she has not left you and never will - I'm grateful for the time you had together here on Earth and the lessons you learned together and taught eachother- sending you so much love and light 🙏💜☀️

    Codependents!!Listen up, careful about doing everything for your partner cause you MAY attract a narcissist if you're not aware that the narcissist picks ppl who will give *And * not expect anything back.
    Learn your own boundaries!! Don't let others plow them down.

    The "funny" thing about this is that even if you have these characteristics, this doesn't guarantee you to get the partner you want or any partner.
    I know many people that are not clean, not honest, not in so physically good shape and still, they got more girls than the ones who are. You ask why? Well idk, but what I know is that the world is unfair.

    Not stated here but I think deserves an honorable mention -
    Personality.
    Please for the love of god have one.
    A lot of folks act like blank slates and don't seem to even know who they are or what they like.
    Or worse, they'll think someone's pretty and try to 'like' the things they think that person likes to get their attention.
    The thing that first made me grow a warm and fuzzy crush on my wonderful partner was watching them rant about a subject they were passionate about.
    If you very unapologetically know what you like and display passion, you'll automatically attract those who share that obsession with you.

      You've become addicted to the emotion that made you feel worthless - that made you chase validation. It's good you've become worthy of someone good and it's good you're setting up a new emotional goal now. It's a natural process, and you seem to be on the right way.

    The best piece of advice i got was from my dad.
    "Son, I have a friend who lives in his car, works at IHOP for minimum wage, doesn't brush his teeth, and asks his mom for money every month. This man, this boy rather, has a smoking hot girlfriend who's very successful. If that dude can get a girlfriend, ill be damned if you didn't get one."
    Absolutely hilarious, boosted my confidence off the charts lol

    It's the dreadful truth . You don't find the perfect woman , you do things to appear as the perfect guy to her and if she loves you no matter what or how bad you really are , she becomes your perfect woman . No is perfect , you just look like the image of perfection to someone .

      I totally agree! Kindness is a trait that is often overlooked and underappreciated. Without it disagreement becomes argument or even cruelty.

    He’s describing women of his era
    And the occasional lovely one in this time too
    But for most part
    They want Chad or Tyrone
    Cash n treated like trash
    Weird times
    But his message is true
    Work on oneself
    That’s the key 🔑
