This exercise helps ensure that you prioritize qualities beyond just physical appearance and sets realistic expectations for a future relationship.

Define and live up to relationship standards: To attract and sustain a healthy relationship, reflect on desired partner reactions and strive to embody those qualities in ourselves
To attract and sustain a healthy relationship, it's crucial to define and live up to the standards we desire in a partner. Reflecting on how we want our significant other to react to our mistakes, their mistakes, and other situations can help us identify areas for personal growth. By striving to be more of what we want to see in our partner, we become more attractive and increase the chances of having a fulfilling and sustainable relationship. Remember, it's essential to live up to the standards we expect from our partners to maintain a healthy and balanced connection.
Treat others with respect and kindness as in any relationship: Strive to be an equal, partner, and teammate by living up to the standards we have for others and asking ourselves 'Would I date myself?'
Treating others with the same respect and kindness that we want for ourselves is essential in any relationship. As Matthew Hussey puts it, "Be an equal, be a partner, be a teammate." This means living up to the standards we have for others and asking ourselves if we would be satisfied dating ourselves based on those standards. It's a humbling reminder of how often we fall short of our expectations for others and the importance of bringing value to the relationship. By focusing on delivering what we expect from our partners and asking ourselves if we would want the same, we can strive to be the ideal partner. So, go into relationships with the intention of giving value and asking the honest question, "Would I date myself?" This mindset can help us reach more women who deserve the life they've always wanted and improve our relationships overall.
