Interesting to hear how guys feel about ageing too. A common piece of advice I hear from older people whenever I'm being self critical, is that I will look back at myself in 20/30/40 years with much kinder eyes. So I try to remember that, and appreciate what I have now. ...Actually that applies to life in general too not just physical appearance.

Having a child is not an end goal, they grow and evolve and learn with u, and ur never prepared enough. Just jump and enjoy the ride and u will look back at the things u think are important now and realize just how much u grow from truly putting your child’s needs in front of your own.

Mike - in regards to what you said about relationships - as a person who has been married for +10 years and still feels like I'm on a honeymoon :), I'll say this: a relationship needs to be worked on from start to finish, sure - but... contrary to appearances, it's nothing hard. It just requires sytematicity (like the gym) and communication. So being a podcaster and looking the way you look, you won't have a problem with that. Of course, you have to make some concessions and not everything will always be perfect. But if the couple has similar goals (or a common goal) COMMUNICATES with each other and each party continues to care about being attractive to the other, the rest will work itself out. For example - our vision of the perfect evening is a glass of wine, good music and the opportunity to sit together and talk. If you find someone with whom (after a year of being together) you still have a ton of things to talk about - then you've good :). Best of luck in your search of "the one".

The bar in reality is low but the bar on social media is absurd. In addition to photo shop the number of women that have had "work done" is unbelievable. I have no intention of throwing shade, yet as a woman who is choosing to age naturally, trying to compare ourselves to others that are choosing certain procedures can be crazy making. You have to keep focusing on character and things that matter. No matter how you look, this is what draws people to you, sincerity and putting yourself to service, being a shoulder for those you love.

I don’t want to hate, but I find it wild how people sit on KZitem and make people rich by watching them do things, rather than doing things themselves. It’s kinda sad. No disrespect to these guys, but damn, it makes me want to continue going out and living my life and do the things I enjoy. The thought of millions of people watching a handsome guy live a “dream life” is kind of a symptom of what’s going on these days. I like some of the more intellectual podcasts, such as what Peterson puts out, but goodness sakes I bet our anscestors would have never thought in a million years that someone could get rich off of a lifestyle KZitem channel. It’s insane. What a crazy time we live in. Let’s go out an live our life instead of watching others live theirs!!❤

Podcast dysmorphia. I think is a thing. Probably better terminology out there but the idea would be you comparing yourself to these guys, or someone else's pod. Nothing against them, nor do I think they would want that, but it's just a "natural" thing for a person to do. I told my daughter, when she was learning to ride a bike, learning at the level you're at is okay and that when someone makes fun or says "well such and such already knows how...," to not take that personal, and that each person learns differently. I encouraged the other kids too, that it's okay and awesome they learn how to do it quickly at their pace.

The conversation you had with Mike at around 27:00 I can relate heavily. When I have conversations with friends and family, I usually would love to dive into the topic and really talk about whatever it is in the moment and throw out questions about it. Once we reach an area where we do not have any idea about, I would ask about opinions and how they feel about it. Sometimes I get responses like "I do not know anything about it so I don't have an opinion" or "I do not know anything about it so I don't want to talk about it.". Though I can understand from their perspective that they may be exhausted from the conversation from thinking but just because you don't know much about a topic doesn't mean it has to stop there.

“I feel like it's quite hard to be confident when you have no money in your account” Confidence is self worth. How happy you are with who you are. You get big swinging dick over confidence that manifests as EGO. And you get quiet confidence from someone who's at peace but doesn't feel the need to brag about it. You don't need to be a millionaire to give yourself permission to like yourself. Maybe Mike does (there's no *one* way) but just wanted to get this down. Money ≠ Confidence. Being proud of yourself = Confidence.
