Women can't wait to show off a man they truly admire
Transcript
Today we have, If she won't post you. Because there's a lot of women out there that have boyfriends, and if you were to look at their Instagram, you'd be like, there's no way in hell this woman's got a boyfriend. National Boyfriend Day every year is the craziest day of the year. Because I can't tell you how many posts there are that are like, did not know she had a boyfriend. She sure don't act like it. Number one, she doesn't like you that much. If she's not willing to post you, she really don't like you that much. Bottom line. Number two, there's other men whose opinions she still cares about. There's other guys following her, there's other guys that she may be used to have talked to, or an ex, that she may not be ready to burn that bridge yet with the hard launch. Because women, this is a big thing for them, soft launch, hard launch. Guys, we don't really do that shit. You just throw a post up, it is what it is. But women, that's that's a big thing for them. Big drama in that card. And number three, which kind of leads us tier, is she's keeping her options open. If a woman is not willing to post you, she is still keeping her options open. And that's because women can't wait to show off a man that they truly admire. If a woman truly admires you, she wants the entire world to know that you are hers. And there is no if, ands, or buts about that. Do not get it confused. So if she ain't posting you, she either doesn't like you, she cares about some other guys' opinions, or she's keeping her options open. One of those three, and none of the three are good. So rank for coming to my Tier Talk today, and I'll see you at the same time again tomorrow.
