‘Coming from a straight man, the constant attention your woman gets from other dudes on the daily. They don’t give a shit that she has a boyfriend/fiance/husband. They will hit on her like it’s their job. Many will hover in the friend zone waiting for you to fuck up so they can make a move. It’s a constant and never ending barrage of men.

‘Dating a beautiful woman is not for the faint of heart. You better be secure in yourself and the relationship.’

‘Overestimating confidence and underestimating potential trust issues.

‘I’ve dated a few very conventionally attractive guys, like movie-star good looks. What they all had in common was that: (a) a history of people underestimated their intelligence, (b) a lot of heartbreak because so many women pursue them, and it took them a long time to figure out how to say “no” and to whom.’
