Elevated Man Podcast with Apollonia Ponti  Are Men Done With Dating? TODAY'S Dating Scarcity Leaves Men Feeling Miserable! Do you feel that it’s getting hard to find the right partner?  Are you jealous because you see friends and family are getting married or in a committed relationship?  If you are having trouble finding a partner or lack the motivation to start dating again, then you are in for a special episode; in this podcast episode, Apollonia Ponti delves into the modern dating landscape, shedding light on why some men may find themselves disillusioned with today's dating culture. Apollonia knows her clients well; she has seen the patterns of men having a scarcity mindset that leaves them alone and unsure of why they are unsuccessful in the dating world. Apollonia recognizes that individuals with a scarcity mindset frequently find themselves entering relationships with partners who do not align with their desired criteria. Apollonia's practical advice and examples shed light on the scarcity mindset, which serves as a cognitive filter in dating, instilling the belief that one's current relationship is inadequate for long-term commitment.  So, if you’re struggling with finding the right partner, getting out of a scarcity mindset, and finding any encouragement to return to the dating world, this podcast episode is for you! Key points in this episode:  1:10 - What is a scarcity mindset? It's a mindset that is a mental filter when dating; it is a mindset that you feel that the person in the relationship is not enough to be long-term. This leads to rushing into relationships because they are afraid of being alone. 2:40 - Desperation is not attractive. In the scarcity mindset, you are often seen as desperate for love and will drive potential partners away. 3:18 - Apollonia proves an example of a man in a scarcity mindset. When a man thinks that a woman is lost in life and only a man will save her, he develops into a savior complex. This can create an unhealthy codependency and a lack of boundaries.  5:03 - Another reason why men are in a scarcity mindset is appearance. In society, men are looked down on if they show emotion; they care about having the ' tough guy' appearance, which can make them get into toxic or unfulfilling relationships. 6:11 - Men deserve to have respect and express emotion. They should be able to express vulnerability (if they know how to do it correctly). One way to get out of the scarcity mindset is to make sure you have standards for the woman you date and respect other people's standards if they do not meet yours. 7:11 - It's essential to have a positive outlook in dating. Some men see the dating world as a hostile place, but if you can think optimistically about the dating world, you will be able to attract the woman you want. 7:40 - Surround yourself with other men and support. Men who are feeling miserable after dating usually lack support from people. Talk to people or men that are successful in the dating world. Listen to them and their advice on navigating and finding partners healthily.  "I love Apollonia; her tips have helped me with my dating!" <---- If this sounds like you, please consider following me and rating/reviewing my show!
