A relationship is an investment from both parties. When these investments tip to one side or another, it plants the seeds of resentment and destruction.

This is why nice guys and people pleasers who bend over backwards for their partner find themselves cheated on and heartbroken. While bad guys get the girl (even though it doesn't blossom into true love).

The best way to ensure a relationship is growth-oriented and fulfilling is by balancing the investment scales. But how do you do this in a non-manipulative way?

That's what we discuss in today's episode. Besides discovering how to balance a relationship's investments, you'll also learn common pitfalls men make that tank their attractiveness, how to improve your self-worth, and why setting boundaries allows love to blossom.
