Blake Robert Templeton tells high-achieving men they mistake over-performance for respect. Real respect comes from owning your identity, standing for your values, and loving without keeping score, not from earning more or buying gifts.
Most guys miss this, okay? So it's like, you don't earn respect by doing more. You earn respect by who you're being. Your girl, she wants a man who owns his identity and is willing to stand for it, whatever the cost. She wants a man who loves her unconditionally and is not keeping score on the different items in which he cares about. So instead of overperforming, she wants a man who quits trying to prove himself by making more money and comes home with presents. For her. That's more valuable than anything. Instead of overperforming to prove your value, stop overperforming and start leading her heart tenderly.
