    I actually went through this but backwards. I started dating this girl at 15, we broke up just over 3 years later. During the relationship, around the time i turned 18, i discovered this channel and started really focusing on myself and my own goals, and realized that the relationship was holding me down and i could do better. Its been about 2 months since the breakup but i now weigh less than i have in years and im actually building muscle, and I’ve massively improved my goal setting and mindfulness. So basically, thanks Hamza, i dodged a bullet 😅

    I would say if you are going to be dating and working on your game, social skills, and cold approach skills as a young man, it's best to focus on having the right mindset. That mindset would be that any form of dating you are doing right now is PRACTICE. Do NOT make any long term commitments when you haven't developed yourself. But talking to girls and dating is a form of developing yourself. Just remember that it's all PRACTICE.

    I met this girl online who was from the netherlands. I dont rly remember why but i tried to make her my gf and succeeded. I promised her i'd fly to the netherlands last summer in august for her bday. The day i promised her that i set 2 goals. 1. make enough to travel and stay in the Netherlands for 10 days and 2. become as attractive looking as possible. So throughout the whole quarantine i was hustling and working out with the little equipment that i had. Fast forward into august, it was the day we were going to meet but she DMd me saying that she's not sure about this and that she wanted to break up because she felt like it wasn't going to work (looking back at it she was prolly right). So the next day after we broke up i told myself that if im willing to put so much effort for someone i met and fell in love with in the course of 8 months then i'd have to work x10 as hard for my future self. In a way she played a huge role into making me who i am today and i can't thank her enough.

    I prefer to focus on myself because for 4 months I ve been forced by the people around me to get into this "having a girlfriend in the teenage years" trend till I almost started vomiting because of the cringeness in those kind of relationships. I am 16. My grandpa has died this morning, i was mentally prepared for it and now I TRULY know that 2022 is going to be my BEST year wince I was born. I know all the wishes i made and all that i will make in 2022 are going to come true. And one of them is the girl I want to be in a relationship with. I don t know her yet, but I believe I will have a healthy and personal relationship with her that won t be cringe like those of my classmates. I am praying for her everyday. I am manifesting meeting her this april and becoming bf and gf in june. đŸ€— 2021 has been the best and the worst year of my life at the same time, as lifestyle it wasn t the worst (the worsy was 2020 as lifestyle) but it s been the worst as in trying to make progress to get rid of the addictions I had. 2022 is going to be the rewards year , but of course i m still going to find new things, humans evolve every day , humans learn every day. I wish myself the best and I am also praying for y all, for the people who want to get rid of their addictions and who want to become better selves if not , the best selves. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!! (Btw I m in Bucharest in Romania, 2022 is just around the corner, as it s said and for those whohave already entered 2022, I say : Keep walking on your path and don t let ANYBODY distract you this year from what you truly want to do when you grow up. And for those who re going to enter 2022 after me, after Romania and The Balkans : Wish for everything you want to come true in 2022 and trust me it s going to come true.)

BUT went to terapy learnd about my self image and how to talk about my emotions started going to the gym started taking some risks with my money and geting better at social skils. to conclude it al breaking up after your first love is really hard but it can be the bes tmotivation ever if you try to lvl up. im now single for almost 1.5 years and feel great i love myself way more and feel like im growing daily wish the same to all you out here.

    Exactly brah, most guys focus only entirely on women, because all of their bros have girlfriends, thus they feel like they need to fit in and have a GF too. Even tho, their life might be miserable, they are basically blindfolded from all these girls, so they don't see, that their life sucks in reality. Build yourself up first, then date girls, so you can bring something to the table. One quote in a Bible says:
    ” You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” - Galatians 5:14. This applies also to girls. But most guys hate themselves and their life, so they can't actually give the love back. So don't forget bros, purpose and upgrading your life always comes firstđŸ’Ș💯

    Yes, I had a breakup 5 months ago and for the past 2.5 months I have been hitting the gym about 4x per week, already gained 15 lbs. Definitely an improvement in mental health, slight improvement in self image and confidence. I still don't talk to women though. I very rarely see one who's my type anyhow.

    Yo I had a chick that I literally thought I will be with the rest of my life at 18. All of my self improvement fell off. I did alot of rap music and leaded music video productions (that's why she fell at first). And then I completely slacked it off, thus becomimg a Jeffrey, thus I got cheated on while I was conscripted into the Estonian Defence Forces.
    Nevertheless, since then I began working on my body and mental health. Still a long way to go, but at this moment I am 20 and I have made wise investments. Made awesome new friends.
    If all goes well, I will have the body of Adonis and a bank account I could retire with by the time of May 2022. All thanks to socialising and being in the right place at the right time.
    Wish me luck.
    And to everyone going through it - embrace the pain. It is temporary. Know your youth will pass - plan it right so you'll be happy in the present given as well as in the long run.

    Great video. That was basically me. 19 year old, felt in love. Lost my mind to this girl but never self reflected on my bad habits. Played too much video games, masturbated (and lied to her about it for whole 3 years of our relationship). Never tried to do fun stuff because I thought I have her for granted so I don't need to grow. The only thing that I did right was finish my bachelor degree.
    After broke up, it took me about a year to get into good habits and get my life togheter. Got my first, well paid job. Got better diet, started lifting weights, riding bike, trekking in mountains and doing lot of sports. I even started going to singing lessons, which was always one of my dreams. If I have never broke up with her, I would probably still be gaming loser that I was back then. In the end, even while single, I feel better with my life now. I am more self confident and I am not afraid to actually do things that I want.

    Started talking with a girl at the age of 15 or something and later ended up dating her for 3-4 years. I thought my case was different from the others and that mine is bound to last as I was madly in love with her. A couple of incidences later, maturity hit me hard and I realized that this relationship was a poison to me (not the girl specifically but I wasn't meant to be in a relationship when I haven't figured out my life yet). Realized I wasted so much time and this year, I took responsibility for everything that has been happening to me instead of blaming it on outside circumstances and my life has drastically change for the better. My advice to all the young kings is to figure out yourself and your life first then think of getting in a relationship if you so desire it.

I just turned 19 and looking back a lot of my goals and milestones have been either missed or pushed back because of my lack of drive. This year I’m taking a step back focussing on myself through meditation and accepting the fact that this girl may very well lose feelings for me one day and so I should prioritise my personal growth first.

    I feel like this advice is a double edged sword. Self improvement takes time. You won't magically become the best version of yourself overnight. I've been busting my balls for the last 10 years while working, hitting the gym and had a dozen of unsuccessful relationships. I'm nearly 30 now and I feel like most women in my age bracket are either too career focused while those in their early 20's would consider me too old. You might find someone who's interested in you but that only works if you really have your shit together and with the way women have these ridiculous standards, I wouldn't hold my breath for a relationship just because I'm a few levels better than 5 or so years ago. Sorry but this isn't a videogame. You won't "level up" to a relationship just because Hamza or other influencers say so. You can do all the right things and still get flaked. Just the way it works.

I was playing my sport, training and eating really healthy. I wouldn’t blame her but she wanted to go out often and eat junk food, expected me to spend all my time with her and by the end of my first year I weighed almost 93kg/205lbs. Luckily I’m halfway through my second year now and back down to about 84kg after finding your videos.

    I'm 16 too rn and yeah sometimes I have googly eyes for someone, but then my brain sort of tells me that it'll be a waste of time to even try to form a relationship with someone, therefore I end up never really making friends with anyone (let alone getting a gf lol). And sometimes I feel like I couldn't pull someone around my age since I don't really have the same tastes with people around my age, and I end up never saying anything to anyone ever, tbh and I've been self aware about this for a while now and realized how unhealthy being a shut-in is since humans are social creatures. I haven't seen my friends in 2 years either which doesn't really help at all either, and they want to hangout but I always end up flaking out due to insecurities and some other things. Life just kinda feels too fast rn especially since I'm still a teen and I should be having fun and doing teen things like hanging out but for some reason I never do. I've realized that being too self-aware can actually be harmful, since if you are always self aware it could end up tripping you up of what you want to do then your brain starts to make up excuses or insecurities. Tip for life: let loose of your self awareness a bit, especially during social events. Basically at the end of the day, thanks Hamza for the advice.

Basically it was a relationship lacking sustenance and it was mainly sexual (but no sex happened) cause we would meet ever weekend for “church group” lol. Overall it was about 4 months but I, being younger and ignorant thought it would last forever and then she broke up w me because her other male friends would try stuff w her and they were also older than me, and I probably couldn’t win in a fight against them if it boiled down to it.

    I can relate heavily to this. I was in a relationship from grade 10 - 12 of highschool, couldn't find the motivation to work out, didn't study much, spent absurd amounts of money eating fast food with her and in general doing a lot of nothing. Shortly after graduating highschool, I suffered a concussion as well as a break up within the same couple of weeks, needless to say, I just pitied myself for a while and did nothing, but after around a month, I turned my sadness and shit situation into motivation. I started bouldering 2x - 3x a week, working out 5x a week, just graduated level one of piano and have dedicated far more time towards growing the meaningful connections that are already in my life. This is the best I've ever felt and I can see the changes in both my confidence and appearance. I also went from drinking and smoking semi-frequently to 4 months sober.

Few weeks before break up I tell her I'm losing interest and she gets heart broken. I text less and she breaks up. I was gassed, literally shouted out ' YESS' the second she broke up through text. A week after, my mum and friend realise my skin looks clearer and I look happier. No stress, and I focus on school. Now Iam super happy not wanting to date until I'm 20+ at least. I'm 16. Exercising (gym and sport almost everyday), no social media except discord and yt, doing things I love and happy. I now believe girls are super distractions (dating) and you shouldn't have a girl if you're trynna improve yourself.

    In my opinion, what does play a factor is the type of girl you start getting into a relationship with. I got really lucky and the girl I'm seeing supports my goals and pushes me. If I'm not hitting my goals (CZcams, gym, etc.) she straight up calls me out on it. For example: I'm starting up my bulk again, and yesterday while we were watching a movie, she told me to eat. Dumbass me said "I'm not hungry I can eat later" and she was all "no, you're gunna eat now. You have to eat even if you're not hungry"
    Oddly enough, I've gotten deeper into self improvement and have started working harder since meeting her.
    With that said, every girl I've ever had any sort of "thing" with in the past has been the exact opposite of this. They didn't really care and treated me like shit.
    This is also my first actual relationship in 5 years. 4 of those 5 where on and off self improvement years, which I'm very confident played a factor into finding a non-shitty girl.

Now it's over I see the red flags, like her avoiding mindfulness because she couldn't handle her trauma, how her parents would harm each other and her avoidant attachment style.
    When it ended I felt awful, but I started improving myself by exercising, practicing stoicism, reading, meditating. Later that year she came back begging for my affection, and also some other women entered and exited my life. I never felt compelled to actually date them, because I didn't want to settle for a girl who thinks stoicism is stupid, exercise is useless and just wants to take drugs and party. No disrespect to them at all, they were all nice people, but they just don't fit in my current life.
    This is actually the first time in my life where I feel comfortable being single. Relationships don't really bring the fulfillment I was looking for, only an empty feeling that I should feel fulfilled, but deep down I wasn't. Fulfillment for me comes after hard work and dedication to my purpose. I feel like dating is a waste of time right now, because I still don't really look like I lift, I'm still not sure what uni course I'm going to do and I want to keep as much time as possible free to invest in myself. Thanks Hamza for the inspiration and motivation, means a lot to me.

    At 26 I’ve been two relationships so far, one which lasted for 3 years and the other for 2. I’ve just recently broken up with the second one which is pretty tough, but I can honestly say that I’ve experienced the most growth after coming out of a relationship. It’s awful when you’re going through the break up process, but once you focus on yourself and build your character up then you’ll be grateful that you went through that pain. The best diamonds are made under the greatest pressure.

    Really was the biggest achievement I did and I remember I woke up one day and I was fed up with myself so I suddenly on the same day, went straight to the gym.
    Best thing ever. đŸ€˜
    But yeah you’re right Hamza. When I got in a relationship, I was 16 and yeah it ended up in tragedy and abuse.

    I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years because she was depressed and was dragging me down immensely, but we continued having sex and hanging out sometimes. She just got into a new relationship and this kind of broke my heart.(lmao I know it’s my fault) after that I rediscovered my pre-relationship self. I wanted to be like myself a couple of years ago: Sixpack, the main guy in the friend group, hanging out with beautiful girls everyday, driven and crushing all of my goals. Through years of an empty ballsack and fucking the prettiest girl in town every day I lost my drive and got fat and stuff. Now my goal is to be the same guy as before or even better! It’s already starting to bear fruits and much of that is thanks to Hamza🙏 much thanks and I wish us all an even more productive 2022

    This is actually a confusing one for me tbh. When I was 19 I got into a relationship that I prioritized more than anything and fell into the typical loop that you talked about. I focused more on the girl that anything else. I was in the relationship for 4 years going on 5. We eventually broke and I began my self improvement journey. Not long after my break up though I got into my current relationship which is a little over a year now, but I've still been trying to focus more on myself I've even been going to gym for 4 months consistently now and I'm basically in the best shape of my life it hasn't been easy though with having to balance working, self improvement, a girlfriend, family and trying to find and rediscover myself after my last break up and I've even pondered breaking up with my girl because of all of this. The thing is though I don't really have much of a reason to besides this and the sad fact that I wanna be selfish and be in the dating and mess around for bit.
