Set Boundaries Earlier on in Relationships, and Save Yourself Heartache, Energy and Money - The internet is filed with articles about the importance of setting boundaries. Well-meaning as they are, most don’t paint a clear picture of how boundaries actually work, and more importantly, why we willingly relinquish power and our self-respect to partners. I've heard of countless stories of guys who failed to read the red flags and set boundaries, all because they feared their women would leave them.

How to Give Relationship Advice that People Will Actually Take - One of the girls I used to date in Tokyo said to me: "Marcus, you aren't really good at lying you know." I simply laughed it off. I guess being bluntly honest is one of my charms. One of the cornerstone of my dating advice site is based on authenticity. It's the bedrock of how I approached my dating life in the last half of decade. I prided myself on being blunt for years. I would dish out the cold hard truth to everyone that came my way, friends or family, if that meant a strict no or harsh opinion, I would simply blurt it out.
