Memorable Quotes:
- "All women know you want sex. So you don't have to bring it up for them to know that you're interested sexually."
- "No one wants to hear about your fantasies over appetizers. It puts a lot of pressure on women and makes them feel objectified."
- "Focus on connection, right? Most women, when they're dating, want to feel like they have a potential partner or that there's an emotional connection."
- "Respect her pace. Most women have different paces from each other. Everything is acceptable because it's their body and their rules."
- "Let the woman talk about herself. Show that you're interested, show that you want to engage with who she is. Listen more than you talk."
- "If you're feeling rejected, loop it into the physicality. Ask what their timeline is like, ask if there's something they're waiting for before they are open to being physically intimate."
- "Make it about us and not about me when talking about physical connection in a relationship that's new."
- "Learn to embrace talking about it in those unique situations with care and consideration and compassion."
