I'm Begging You to Stop Making These Mistakes With Women

The video argues that the one mistake causing "90% of relationships to fail" is a man getting comfortable after commitment and abandoning the behaviors and standards that attracted the woman in the first place.

Key points

  • The core claim: attraction collapses not because she changed but because he did, by treating winning her as a finish line and relaxing.
  • Five things that "die" after commitment:
  • Scarcity: he clears his schedule and becomes available 24/7, so his time loses value. Fix: keep your prior schedule (gym, friends) and decline conflicting days without apology.
  • Power dynamic: he flips from prize to chaser, walks on eggshells, prioritizes her comfort over his standards. Worrying "I hope she's not mad" is a red flag.
  • Mystery: he overshares every thought and insecurity; the video frames vulnerability dumped all at once as building pity, not trust. Give short answers, keep parts of life private.
  • Frame: he claims women test more after commitment via illogical arguments and provoked conflict; folding or apologizing for things you did not do loses respect. Stay calm, do not match her energy, walk away.
  • Value of attention: flooding her with compliments, gifts, and constant texting inflates supply and lowers value. He invokes a "punish and reward" theory -- attention is a reward to be earned.
  • He insists none of this was caused by her; the man did it to himself the moment he felt safe.
  • Recovery if already in the cycle: do not negotiate attraction; pull energy back, return to your purpose, reinstall boundaries, reward earned effort, hold the line through her testing, and do not relapse into over-attention if she returns.

Reception

  • High engagement and a recurring split: many call the framework exhausting "mind games," with one top comment ("Why can't we just love one another?") drawing 600+ likes and several echoing "this is too much, I quit."
  • A counter-camp reframes it as not games but discipline and self-respect -- "daily reminders to be a disciplined human being," "don't lose yourself trying to keep someone else."
  • Several long personal confessions describe losing a multi-year relationship by simping, ignoring disrespect, and never walking away, vowing to keep their standards next time.
  • Some report the timing was useful, saying they recognized themselves doing these exact behaviors in a new relationship.
  • Requests for follow-up videos on shit tests, holding frame, and being superior without arrogance.
