Have you ever noticed that there are too many pick up guides and not enough real dating manuals? Well, this overview changes that for men by providing essential tips and advice for successful relationships. If you think about it, dating is the fun part of a relationship. As such, men tend to focus on the early stages too much.

To help you get over that hurdle, I’ve put together 25 pieces of essential dating advice for men. From online dating to rejection, here’s what every man should know:

1. Don’t Just Be A Good Guy

Women don’t want a good guy. They genuinely want a GREAT man.

2. Stop Chasing Women All The Time

Instead of becoming an interesting man women can actually connect with; you will end up sacrificing parts of your life. Your time is valuable. Don’t waste it on things you can’t always obtain.

3. Be Yourself

A confident man has nothing to prove. An arrogant man believes he must prove everything in order to support his confidence.

4. Don’t Compete For Women

Have an abundant mentality. Be yourself, and you’ll know if women feel or don’t feel chemistry/attraction towards you. Respect her even if she doesn’t; you can go talk to another woman at any time.

5. Become Confident

Confidence is a lifelong gift; any man can learn to achieve it. It is a big part of the art of seduction, and it will definitely get the attention of a beautiful woman.

6. Communication Is Magic

Observe the actions of others around you. Listen, ask deep questions. Stay present in the moment. Relax when speaking to beautiful women, slow down! Come up with some great conversation starters ahead of time as well to help keep the communication going.

7. Live An Amazing Life

Create an amazing lifestyle if you want to attract amazing women. Consider your work environment. Participate in things you love. Be open to new experiences. Embrace every moment, don’t just be a part of it.
