Dating ‘the Player’ [1:44]
Dean, affectionately called Deaniebaby, is super handsome and he knows how to make a girl feel special. The issue with Dean is that he has a reputation as a player. So, what if you were dating a Deaniebaby in real life?
Signs a guy is not looking for a serious relationship:
- They tell you using phrases like ‘it’s not you it’s me’
- Your friends are telling you to be careful
During the show, the dynamic between Dean and Caelynn is all about Caelynn not understanding her value. She basically tells Dean how needy she is and you can see him pull away. Good thing for her Dylan was waiting in the wings.
Takeaway: Your job isn’t to change a guy. Why are you not being a woman of value? Men run away from women who want to change them.
Why Test a Great Guy? Just Be Honest [13:44]
Is Katie sabotaging any chance she has for a relationship? “When a guy tells you something he says what he means. There normally aren’t any hidden messages,” Chris says. For Katie to continue asking Chris if he is sure is her way of putting up a wall and all Chris hears is double talk. It is confusing.
Takeaway: Guys like a safe bet. Mixed signals confuse them.
Ladies if you are dating someone worth it you can’t mess with them because another girl is going to swoop in to take your place. Tayshia’s treatment of JPJ is an example of this.
Takeaway: If you are not sure about someone or are not ready to commit, instead of planting a seed about someone better — communicate with them and tell them you are not ready to be exclusive.
The Modern -Day Alpha Male [22:47]
Women say it all the time ‘I want an alpha male’ but what does it really mean? Is it aggressive? It is assertive? If that type of behavior isn’t in alignment with who the guy really is do you really want him to change?
Nicole tells the handsome, buff, manly Clay he needs to be more aggressive. Then, she follows it up by going out with Mr. Machismo, who eventually got in a fistfight. She realizes she wants a guy who is assertive, not aggressive.
Takeaway: A modern alpha guy is more than just muscles and money. He is assertive and can articulate his feelings
