Hey my bros, I have recently started to want to date, been single for the past 4 years now mostly focusing on some personal matters. I never had a father figure or grandparents that I could come to for advice. I’m in my 30’s now and I have this strange feeling like I just dont know what tf I’m doing in the relationship space. I hear so many conflicting pieces of advice from so many people online that I just dont know what to listen to or follow. “Dont be a nice guy” “women like bad boys” “nice guys finish last” “treat her with love and respect” “listen to her feelings” “be assertive” etc etc like what is it? Wtf is being a nice guy anyway? I dunno, maybe I should go to a therapist for these kinds of things. I’m just honestly confused about all this and dont know how to handle certain situations, I guess. The truth is, I want to be a good man. I want to be able to provide and protect for my loved ones and want a long term relationship to last until old age, someone to enjoy this life journey with. Go on adventures, start a family, continue to build up and reach my goals. You get my drift. So for men that have been in long term relationships, how do you guys make it work? What do you compromise with? How do you pick your battles? How do you handle the difficult situations? What things do I need to avoid? What things do I need to work on? Etc etc. Im looking for real good advice here fellas. The longer the input the better. I appreciate ya, boys. Stay strong and keep chasing your goals. 💪🏻 submitted by /u/FangsForU
