Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

The guy who checks all the boxes at 25 won't necessarily check them at 40.

Follow your gut and don't settle. I can look back on two very specific incidents where my husband showed me his true colors. Blinded by stupid infatuation at the first, and the wedding was only three weeks away at the second, I ignored them or put up with them, whatever you want to say. I play those over and over in my mind. "If only I had listened to myself." We're both miserable.

Stay away from red pill websites. I’m female and they really screwed up my relationships with men.

If a man cannot tell his parents that he loves them, something is wrong.

You hadn't *already* told that to yourself before you cheated though?....

Give average looking girls a chance. They try harder.

Listen to what a man says. Accept what he says. And pay attention to what he doesn't say.

"I think I had a pretty good understanding of men and dating. I didn't follow a lot of traditional advice. I had a lot of interesting dating/relationship experiences, and honestly, I don't think I'd change a thing about them. I have no regrets in that regard."

As a parent of a teenage daughter, I would love for you to elaborate on this. Either here or via PM.

Nothing. I had a blast dating when I was younger. I learned a lot, I made mistakes and those mistakes prepared me for being a solid partner in a serious, adult relationship.

If I knew then what I know now, I doubt that I would have had as much fun and taken the chances that I did back then.

Or those women still won’t care? Good for you that eventually the feeling will be mutual.

If they don’t engage in self-love and aren’t motivated enough to get themselves off, that low drive is never, never going to improve.

I winged it a lot when I was younger, but got some real important things right.

#1 Look these people up in the courts, online, etc. etc. it's all there...people lie but don't ignore any evidence or red flags. Also, don't waste your time. If someone wants to use you for sex or a good time don't let them. Your self worth/body is more important...not to mention your health. Only date people that want a future, and who truly want to get to know you before having a physical relationship. Good morals/values along with a good work ethic are important. Give it a year maybe 1.5, but no longer because you should know by then if you both want a future.
