If you feel jealous.

And you aren't fully with someone, you're just in early stages of dating.

Suck it up and let those feelings go.

Suck it up, get over it, push it down, let those feelings go.

What should you do if your girl is actively talking to other dudes?

Well, the absolute worst thing you can do is try to intervene to stop her from doing it.

That makes it so she has the higher value and not you.

Instead, the best way to counter such behavior is to say...

Have a good time.

With a tone of complete indifference when she says she's going to hang out with some other guy.

Let her see that it doesn't faze you one bit.

Meanwhile, you go talk to other girls.

So this is the worst advice in the fucking world.

This is like year 10 boys.

Yeah.

Actually, year 10 girls, a lot of women do this.

Yes.

The thing about this book is that actually it is gendered in a lot of ways, but it actually is just bad dating advice.

Yeah.

The idea that if you are jealous, the solution to that is to pretend, is to shove it down, shove it down, shove it down.
