Thanks so much for your kind words, John. I'm glad my sentiment resonated with you, and hopefully it'll resonate with other men who read it! I've been around the dating world long enough to know that confidence is not only overrated, it's an unreasonable expectation.

I can't stand dating advice writers who peddle this bullshit that men need to be confident in order to attract women. It's especially unhelpful for introverted, shy, or reserved guys. Not everyone is Rico Suave for god's sake! Instead of "working on your game," "leveling-up," or assuming some artificial pretense, as some like to advise, how about encouraging men to lean into their own style and lead with the truth? That's my dating advice to my male clients.

Happy holidays John, and thanks again.
