Welcome to today’s episode of The Gentleman's Atlas Podcast.

The '3' Rule of dating, how does it work, and is it for everyone? In today's episode, I'm going into depth with this rule, explaining how it works, and why I use it. Remember, dating advice is advice, not a perfect system, and not for everyone. Trial and error work just fine, but the most important thing is you don't lose focus, because you are the prize, and you have to constantly improve. The best way to do better in dating is to be better as a man.
