    Fighting the Good Fight
    My wise father once said “Fight the Good Fight” I discovered the meaning over time. Do your best, be authentic, and treat others with respect. It doesn’t matter the results as long as you follow the principle. That put me at ease and I slept a lot better. I feel you teach this general rule. I see that you have a lot of conviction and am fighting the good fight for men. Thanks for what you do.
  • Move bro I’m gay
    Leave women alone
    They don’t want to be approached by you

    Awesome and Packed with Great Guidance
    I’ve been struggling to connect on dating apps and approach women since finalizing my divorce. I’ve learned a ton about making a great profile and how to approach women naturally, aka without being a creep, since I started listening to this podcast. (And reading Connell’s book. Definitely get that too!) Thanks Connell for your coaching. (Even though you don’t know you’re coaching me. Lol.) Your insight has made a real difference in my love life and thus my life.
