Famous Quotes by Kevin Samuels
• Ladies understand something when a man asks you out on a date he’s asking to have sex! If you don’t wanna have sex with him don’t go on a date with him.
• Men get told every day where they rank, they get rejected all the time. Men known what they quote unquote qualify for, but women for the last 30- 40 years have been told you can have it all whenever you want no matter how you are. And they’ve been given an unrealistic expectation of their actual sexual marketplace value.
• The first thing I tell guys I coach is that we have to get brutally honest about where you are and where you want to get to. Understand how far that is and put in the work.
• We have gotten to the point that for the most part we don’t know how to relate to each other. We know how to swipe left, swipe right, hook up and get on.
• Women, by nature, want to consolidate on the highest value man possible. Social media and dating apps have now made it where you have almost 100% of women wanting men in the top 10% and 20% to produce this outcome which is unrealistic.
