What does a healthy relationship actually look like? How do you know if you're with the right person? And what relationship advice is actually worth listening to? In this episode of Guyset, I'm back with another installment of Advice From the Internet, this time breaking down some of the best relationship advice I've found on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. From knowing whether you're in the right relationship to choosing a partner who makes your life better, building confidence in yourself, and supporting each other through different stages of life, I'm sharing my thoughts on what makes a relationship healthy, happy, and worth fighting for. We talk about how to know if you really love someone, why the relationship you have with yourself matters just as much as the one you have with your partner, how to navigate difficult moments together, and why being there for someone through every stage of life is one of the greatest parts of being in love. Whether you're just starting to date someone, in a long-term relationship, or figuring out what you really want in a partner, I hope you leave this episode with one or two pieces of relationship advice that stick with you.

Welcome back to another episode of Dear Guyset, where I answer the real questions guys are asking about dating, relationships, career, confidence, and figuring out life in your 20s. This week, I'm answering seven questions about situations we've all probably found ourselves in at some point. How long should you talk to a girl on a dating app before asking her out? What do you do when you've been on a few dates with someone who's great, but something feels like it's missing? And how do you know if you're doing a good job when you've just started your first real job and feel like you're already supposed to know everything? I'm also talking about when to introduce someone you're dating to your friends, whether you should tell your girlfriend when something small bothers you, how to become more present in your everyday life, and some last-minute Halloween costume ideas. I'm not an expert. I'm just another 26-year-old guy figuring these things out alongside you. My goal with Dear Guyset is to share honest, practical advice that helps you feel a little less alone in whatever you're going through.

What if you didn't have to wait until Monday, next month, or the new year to change your life? In this episode of the Guyset Podcast, I'm talking about The Fresh Start Effect, a psychological phenomenon that explains why we're more motivated to pursue our goals after meaningful milestones like birthdays, Mondays, and the start of a new year. But here's the thing: you don't need a fresh start to change your life. I'm breaking down the psychology behind fresh starts, why we keep waiting for the perfect moment to make a change, how procrastination and self-doubt hold us back, and what it actually takes to stop getting in our own way. I'm also sharing my own experiences with putting things off, setting goals, and waiting for the right moment to start. We'll talk about navigating life in your 20s, overcoming the fear of failure, building better habits, and finding the motivation to take action even when life gets busy. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling to find motivation, trying to be more consistent, or wondering how to start over, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to wait for a milestone to make a change. You don't have to wait for the perfect moment. You can start today. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 00:18 What Is the Fresh Start Effect? 02:37 The Psychology and Research Behind Fresh Starts 05:03 Why Do We Wait for the Perfect Moment? 07:14 How Fear of Failure Keeps Us Stuck 09:30 You Can Decide to Change Your Life Today 11:39 Stop Comparing Your Progress to Others 13:51 Why We Keep Putting Off Our Goals 16:08 The Perfectionist vs. the Doer 18:21 You Don't Need Permission to Start Over 20:29 How Everyday Responsibilities Get in the Way 22:51 Why It's So Hard to Start Something New 25:05 How to Stop Waiting and Start Taking Action 27:29 Get Out of Your Own Way and Just Try 29:42 Dear Guyset and Final Thoughts ABOUT GUYSET PODCAST I'm Josh, the founder and host of Guyset, a podcast helping guys navigate dating, relationships, confidence, mindset, career, and lifestyle.

We all go through moments when we feel stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or just not like ourselves. Maybe something didn't go the way you hoped, you experienced rejection, you're having a bad week, or you've found yourself in a funk that you can't seem to shake. In this episode of the Guyset Podcast, we're talking about how to get back up again, reset your mindset, stop overthinking, and start feeling like yourself again. I'm sharing practical advice and strategies that have helped me get through difficult moments, from getting outside and moving your body to learning how to stop negative thoughts from spiraling, separating one bad experience from everything else in your life, and remembering to recognize your wins instead of only focusing on your losses. Whether you're going through a tough time, feeling unmotivated, struggling with self-doubt, or simply looking for ways to improve your mood and get back on track, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to stay where you are right now. You can pick yourself back up, change your perspective, and start moving forward again.

I'm back with more life advice from the internet and sharing what I actually think about it. From putting your phone down and being more present to worrying less about the future, figuring yourself out, doing the work, and remembering that what feels impossible today might feel completely different tomorrow, these are the pieces of advice that stood out to me. We talk about why everything feels harder when it's new, why there are no shortcuts to getting good at something, how to stop feeling like you need to have your entire life figured out in your 20s, and why sometimes the simplest things can make a bad day feel a little lighter. Not every piece of advice is going to hit you at the same time, but hopefully there's something in this episode that feels like exactly what you needed to hear right now. And if not, come back to it later. Sometimes the right advice hits completely differently depending on where you are in your life.

The internet is full of life advice about how to make the most of your 20s, but how much of it is actually helpful when you're living through them? In this episode, I'm going through some of the best advice I've seen online and figuring out what's actually worth listening to, what's easier said than done, and how I'd apply it to real life. I talk about comparing yourself to other people, celebrating your friends' wins, learning how to spend time alone, knowing when to walk away from a relationship, people pleasing, being okay with disappointing people, why good manners still matter, and finally doing the thing you keep putting off. If you're trying to figure out your 20s as you go, these are the pieces of life advice I think are actually worth hearing.

What should you do when someone cancels a date on you? When should you meet the friends of someone you're dating? And how soon after matching on Hinge should you ask someone out? In this Dear Guyset episode, I'm answering real questions from guys about dating, relationships, career, and life in your 20s. We're talking about what to do when someone cancels a date at the last minute, whether you should go on a date you're not looking forward to, when you should meet her friends, who should plan the second date, how to tell if someone wants something casual or a serious relationship, and when to ask someone out after matching on a dating app. I'm also getting into career questions, including how long you should stay at a job before leaving, whether you should apply for a job even if you don't meet all the qualifications, plus when it's time to start buying nicer clothes.

As we say goodbye to summer and work starts to kick back into full gear, I thought it was the perfect time for a work reset. In this episode, I'm sharing the things I think actually matter at work and the habits that can help you get your focus back, reset your mindset, and set yourself up for success. I'm talking about how to prioritize what actually matters, keep track of your accomplishments, understand your company's goals, work better with your boss, ask for feedback, speak up in meetings, build relationships with the people around you, and actually stay present at work. Whether you're starting a new job, stepping into a new role, or just trying to get back into the swing of things after summer, think of this as your reset for getting back on track at work.

How do you make a big decision when you have no idea what the right choice is? In this episode of Guyset, I'm talking about analysis paralysis, overthinking decisions, fear of failure, and the anxiety that comes with wondering if you're making the wrong choice. I'm currently stuck between taking a new opportunity and staying where I am, so I'm breaking down my actual thought process in real time. I talk about how to stop overthinking a decision, why fear can keep you stuck, how to deal with uncertainty, and what can help when you're constantly second-guessing yourself. If you're trying to make a difficult career, dating, relationship, or life decision and feel paralyzed by all the possible outcomes, this episode is about getting out of your head, trusting yourself, accepting that there might not be a perfect choice, and figuring out how to move forward anyway.

There is so much work and career advice on the internet, especially when you're starting your first job or trying to figure out corporate life in your 20s. But how much of that advice is actually good? In this episode of Guyset, I went through some of the work advice I've been seeing on TikTok, Instagram, and across the internet and gave my thoughts on all of it. Some of it I completely agree with. Some of it I think needs a little more context. And some of it I just don't agree with at all. We talk about dealing with difficult coworkers, how much you should actually share at work, why you should keep track of your accomplishments, getting important conversations in writing, and what being bored at work might actually be telling you. I also get into some of the stuff about working full time that I don't think we talk about enough, like staying active, building a routine, having a social life, and figuring out how to have a life outside of work. Because when you first start working, it can really feel like your job suddenly takes up your entire life. You're trying to be good at your job and grow your career while also going to the gym, seeing your friends, dating, making plans, taking care of yourself, and somehow not coming home every night and immediately falling asleep on the couch. If you're starting your first job, figuring out corporate life, trying to grow in your career, dealing with coworkers, struggling with work-life balance, or just trying to figure out how you're supposed to navigate work in your 20s, there's probably something in here for you. Take whatever advice resonates with you, try it out, and see what actually works for you.

So how do I know if she actually likes me or if she's just being nice? And if we start dating, how do I know if she's seeing someone else? And what do I do when we I start to really like her and overthinking everything? In this Dear Guyset episode, I'm giving my take on some of the biggest early dating questions guys are asking right now. I'm talking about how to tell if she likes you or is just being nice, whether you should assume she's seeing other guys, how long you should wait to text her back, and what to do when you can't stop overthinking everything. I also get into when to ask for a second date, how often you should see someone when you first start dating, and why trying to play texting games usually makes dating more complicated than it needs to be. If you've ever found yourself wondering "Does she actually like me?" "Is she seeing other guys?" or "Am I texting her too much?" or anything else along those lines, this episode is for you. Timestamps: 02:39: How do you know if somebody actually likes you or she's just being friendly? 07:11: How do I know if the girl I'm seeing is also seeing other guys too? 14:15: If somebody takes forever to text you back, should you match their texting energy or should you just text how you normally would back? 18:54: How do you stop overthinking every single thing when you actually really like someone for the first time in a while? 23:22: I just went on a really good first date.

What can Spider-Man teach us about growing up, rejection, heartbreak, comparison, grief, and moving forward? In this episode of Guyset, I'm breaking down the biggest lessons guys can learn from Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why Peter Parker continues to be one of the most relatable superheroes for all guys. We grew up alongside Tom Holland's Spider-Man, and now Peter Parker is dealing with many of the same things we are: getting rejected, comparing his life to his friends, trying to balance everything at once, dealing with loss, asking for help, and figuring out how to keep moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan. I talk about why Spider-Man has always been different from other superheroes, the story behind Stan Lee creating a hero with real personal problems, and why seeing someone as powerful as Spider-Man struggle with the same things we do can make us feel a little less alone. This episode is about more than Spider-Man. It's about growing up, starting over, leaning on the people around you, and realizing that even when a chapter of your life ends, there's always a brand new day. If you're dealing with heartbreak, rejection, loneliness, comparison, grief, or simply trying to figure out your 20s, this episode is for you.

Nobody teaches you how to go on a first date. There's no rulebook, no playbook, and no guide to what actually works. So I made one. In this episode, I'm sharing the unwritten rules of dating, from the confirmation text that sets the tone to how to prepare before the date, keep the conversation flowing, make a great first impression, and follow up afterward. These are the small things that can make dating feel a lot less confusing and help you show up with more confidence. Whether you're getting ready for your very first date or just want a refresher before your next one, this episode will help you navigate first dates with more confidence.

What are the things that are actually worth spending money on? The "things worth the money" trend has been all over TikTok and Instagram lately, so I decided to put my own spin on it. In this episode, I share the purchases and experiences that have genuinely improved my life across dating, lifestyle, and mindset, and explain why I think they're actually worth spending money on. From grooming products and cologne to TSA PreCheck, gym memberships, quality clothing, concerts, travel, and the daily habits that make life easier, these are the investments I think every guy should consider. Some of these purchases save time. Others build confidence. And some simply make everyday life better. If you've ever wondered what is actually worth buying and what isn't, this episode is for you.
