Can men get better at dating?

if we don’t accept ourselves first, if we don’t say it’s okay to be me, then we’re never going to believe that it’s going to be okay to go up and talk to somebody and share ourself with somebody.
Are men bad at dating?
Almost certainly, but depends on how that's measured.
What metrics do you use for dating success?
Men can certainly get better at conversation. I can’t count the number of dates I’ve had where a guy talked for hours about himself and never asked a single question about me. Great way to make sure the first date is the last.
As a guy who has been on plenty of dates, I can tell you that there are also plenty of woman who are like that. I suspect that the datingpool in general is saturated with people who are like this.
I'm not sure but surely they can be better at coaching: "The thing that we don’t know, that we don’t realize, is that intimacy is not just sex."
