Melannie Gregersen explains what separates high-value men from low-value ones in dating. High-value men don't let their self-esteem depend on a partner, and they understand that confidence is their own responsibility, not something someone else can give them.

And the next thing a high-value man will never do is allow their self-esteem to fall too low. Now, what I mean by this is sometimes we try to push off the job of building our self-esteem off onto another person, especially someone we're in a relationship with. Yes, they can certainly help. And yes, there's something magical about someone reassuring us and helping us know we're attractive and appealing and enjoyable to be around. But at the end of the day, confidence is really a personal job. It's something that nobody else can give us. And so a high-value person values themself enough, or at least starts working on it so they get to the point where they value themselves enough, to build their own self-esteem and their own confidence.
