Real Talk With Rod

A lot has changed with the advancement with technology and social media. One of the things that has changed dramatically is how we date in today’s society. This isn’t some random shit I decided to come up with one day when I woke up, men across the world deal with these harsh truths every single day. Guys like me and you.. No guy has a 100% success rate when it comes to women. Join me as I unpack the 4 things we must face when dating today.

1.Most women online want free attention and validation

2. Average guys are left in the dust…

3. There’s a sentiment of you being “low value” when you use dating apps

4. Flake rate is extremely high

I want to talk about an exercise that has helped me personally and others as well to clear out some of the noise. These 3 things will help make the roadmap to your destination a lot more clear. I will not promise it will make it easier, however, if you take this seriously and are intentional with this exercise, you will see growth and you will find answers.

1. Where are you at in life right this moment. Literally as you’re listening to this

2. What does your best year look like?

3. Why do you want those things?

All you need is a pen, paper, and an open heart and open mind.

You have to learn to be confident in yourself brother. If she is doing a few of these things then she clearly wants you to go ahead and approach her. We all know that women are most likely not going to make the first move. Instead of doing that, she sends signals or “cues” your way, essentially giving you the “green light”. If you can understand the information I give you, you will be able to decipher the signals she sends your way. The more you can read her, the better, in turn, the more confident you will become. Go get em tiger!!

Yes we may never truly understand how and why women think the way they do. It all boils down to one thing. Trust. If she can’t trust you, she can’t allow herself to open up the way she wants towards you. The more you’re willing to understand her and show that she can trust you, the more she will give you in return, and the stronger the relationship will grow.

A lot of times we keep people around for too long in our lives just because we have history, or because they are family. Don’t let labels and memories blind you from seeing these people for who they truly are. It’s time we give up hoping people act the way we want them to, when they’ve proven to show their true colors all along.

This is the first time that I publicly open up about my struggles with depression and my mental health journey. Men need to talk about this topic more and be willing to learn from others' pain and suffering. Speaking up about suicide, or depression does not make you less of a man, or a human. I've had those dark nights. I've gone into those medicine cabinets, I've picked up those kitchen knives. Luckily, I didn't have the balls to do it. I came out there other end and I am here to share a little bit of my story with you, in hopes that you can see me as someone who cares, someone who wants you here, someone who knows that better days are ahead. Nothing is worth taking yourself from us. You should be proud you have made it this far. I'm proud of you, and I'm always here for you. 

Love, 

Rod

Fellas, put your ego aside and acknowledge the fact that these are some things, that I even need to improve on myself. Take these 5 things seriously to improve who you are this year. 1.Over-validation of girls online

2.Not investing young (assets> liabilities)

3.Not prioritizing hygiene

4.Not prioritizing yourself (most important)

5. Thinking less, do more ( Go for it)
