How to Stop Being Disrespected, Ignored, or Violated in Dating | Matt Monday

Brave enough to date? Then you’ve almost definitely run into ghosting, inconsistency, or someone who disappears then pops back like nothing happened. It hurts the most when hope runs low, and love feels like a race everyone else got a head start in.The issue? We obsess over “Do they like me?” when the real power question is “Do they respect me?” Standards aren’t just defense—they’re offense. Delivered with warmth and a bit of humor, they spark attraction instead of shutting it down. And in this episode, you’ll learn how to do just that.---►► Never Face Your Love Life Alone Again.

In this week’s Love Life Podcast episode, Matthew and Producer David dig into a big question: Is stoicism helping modern relationships . . . or shutting them down? They unpack how the pressure to stay “strong” can make men harder on themselves for having emotions, why vulnerability creates deeper connection, and how anxious impulses in early dating can quietly sabotage attraction. They also break down what helps couples grow together instead of drifting apart, and how sharing what you want—without turning it into a demand—can actually bring you closer.----►► Get 14 days of FREE access to Matthew AI with Matthew’s Black Friday offer!

Most people think attraction is all about chemistry or confidence, but they overlook one of the simplest tools we have: a well-placed compliment. One genuine line, said at the right moment, can dissolve tension, spark a real connection, and make someone feel truly noticed in a way they haven’t in a long time.In this episode, I’m talking about why compliments hit so deeply—especially for men—and how they can completely change the way someone experiences you. If you’ve ever wondered what actually sticks with someone or how to close the gap with a person you like, this is going to give you a totally new way of thinking about attraction.---►► Never Face Your Love Life Alone Again.

This week’s episode looks at why even highly intuitive people can miss the signs of a partner living a double life. I share the story of a woman who spent 17 years in a marriage without suspecting a thing—not because she wasn’t perceptive, but because love can dull the very instincts meant to protect us.I also break down the psychological trapdoors that make us overlook what’s right in front of us. The goal isn’t to make you suspicious; it’s to help you trust those moments of quiet discomfort instead of dismissing them. If something has ever felt “off,” this video will help you understand why.---►► Answers Tailored to You, In Real Time, When You Need Them Most.

This episode tackles a topic that’s as raw as it is real: “I no longer want to hear dating advice from conventionally attractive people.”That line, from a recent British Vogue article, struck a chord with many people, and for good reason. So much dating advice comes from people who’ve never had to face what it’s like to be overlooked or rejected again and again. When you’ve never had to climb from the bottom of the mountain, “just be confident” isn’t advice . . . it’s a reminder of how far the gap really is.This week, we’ll explore what dating looks like when the playing field isn’t level, and how rejection shapes our self-worth. It’s not about bitterness—it’s about honesty, empathy, and finding strength in our own story.---►► Find Your Person WITHOUT Having to Go Through All the Wrong People to Get There.
