this is not about sleeping around / hooking up with as many people as humanly possible. this is about exposure to different personality types, different energies. it’s about gaining self-confidence & developing self reliance early on in life. truly understanding quality over quantity comes from direct experience. you must know quantity first before you can truly know & appreciate quality. you can have intellectual knowledge of something but it will never be as powerful as having direct experience. b/c u have actual references. i used to own a bunch of expensive shit (my watch collection alone was worth more than your cars). i would constantly worry about people breaking into my house & stealing my shit. it cost me time, energy & money to keep those things. i finally said fuck it & became a minimalist - getting rid of everything except for a few things (opting for quality over quantity). people who ask me questions leave out a lot of details. so i’m forced to work with little information. however, my advice will never come from research but from my own experiences (& i have a lot of that shit).. most young people w/ no actual experience only have books & movies as references. that can be very dangerous b/c most of that shit isn’t real & it gives people a false picture/perception of reality. i’m sorry but the world isn’t always a beautiful place and first loves/nice men aren’t always going to stay. and that’s a fact. i used to work w/ plastic surgeons doing reputation management for them. i had to interview tons of women for video/written testimonials for our landing pages for ranking purposes. me being the curious chap that i was… asked them a million other questions. what i found didn’t shock me b/c i had experience from my bar/nightclub days. many of these women that didn’t get experience under their belt early on… paid the price later (they were lost & after being left). these are women who married their high school/college sweetheart. 5, 10, 15 years in… and their partners changed. understand, people are fickle. one minute they think you’re the fucking universe and then the next you mean nothing to them. i see nothing wrong with having one person or being with one person for the rest of your life.. but things happen. people die early from cancer, people leave, people get lazy, people cheat, people develop addictions and relationships become stale/sour. having experience and self-confidence will allow you to take charge of your relationship if that shit happens. and if it doesn’t work out… at least you can move on peacefully. in my book, experience is the greatest insurance policy. ~rob
p.s. you can date people w/out hooking up w/ them
