In this video you will learn: 1- Why avoidant men do not respect what they can easily control and what happens to the woman who keeps accommodating 2- Why assertiveness and neediness are completely different things and why one creates trust and the other destroys it 3- Why the assertive woman feels safer to an avoidant man than the agreeable one 4- Why the woman who disappears into pleasing never earns his loyalty and the woman who stays herself often does 5- Why the women avoidant men cannot stop thinking about years later are almost never the most accommodating ones 6- What secure assertiveness actually sounds like and what it is not 7- Why you do not become more lovable by disappearing you become more lovable by becoming worthy of trust You do not become more attractive by making yourself easier to keep.
