How to survive a BREAK UP

This week you get to relax while I talk about something very VERY close and personal.
I actually considered NOT posting this stuff as it shares some very private details in my personal life.
Then I thought that this is EXACTLY what I should be sharing and posting for you!
The flawless natural, underground style.
I’m going to share with you something that is very close to me and has played a big role in my relationships with woman over the last years. The flawless natural method focuses solely on being able to get beautiful women you want into bed and if you so choose, into a relationship.
Because of the jam packed nature of it, there was no time to cover something that is also important if you are going to manage having all these women in your life.
That is: Breaking up.

Breaking up with a girl is something that can never truly be flawless.
It can, however, be managed and dealt with to minimize the pain to both you and her.
Make no mistake, wether it is you or her doing the breaking up, it hurts both of you EQUALLY as much.
Personally I have had 3 serious (6 month+) relationships in the past 5 years along with various periods of chaos on the town seeing multiple girls every week.
With each girlfriend I have done the breaking up and each one there are some common characteristics and pitfalls you should be aware of that I have experienced.
NOTE: this post is not about how to maintain or choose a good relationship or girlfriend. I may post on this later, if you like, but this week we are specifically looking at the break up itself.
This means either a) you have ALREADY chosen to break up with your girlfriend or b) you have been broken up with or c) neither, but this will be good knowledge to have stored away for the future.
On with the show.
The first girlfriend cheated on me. She was unattractive, unintelligent and just not right at all. But I loved her. Because I really loved having a girlfriend, CHERISHING, doing all those things.
I was a total chodey loser and pretty much deserved to be cheated on at the time.
So girl 1 - Cheated on me and so I broke up with her to maintain any scrap of manly dignity I had. This didn’t hurt so much because I kinda met Girl 2 during the breakup. This made it a lot easier.

The second girlfriend was AMAZING. A beautiful girl and I just got swept up in how amazing she was. By now I actually wasn’t as much loser town and we got along so well. We had our own little world. It was the best thing that ever happened to me and it seemed she felt exactly the same.
Well this seems perfect huh? Well yes and no. I still think if I was with girl 2 that we would be happily ever after… but it wasn’t her fault we aren’t. It was mine.
You see I got discovered by the boys at RSD. They offered me a trip to LA to train as an executive coach. At crossroads with an opportunity of a lifetime I decided to say goodbye while we are still very young and off I went to LA LA Land as a young naive little Aussie kid out to have some reckless fun.
Granted, I am off to LA with no idea what was happening and staying at this random place called project Hollywood. It was actually really tough as well. All my friends were finishing university or other things. My family must have been flipping the hell out.

A mixture of hard work, travel and whirlwind adventure was ensured and I met some of the best friends of my life. In coaching clients, I met some amazing people and every guy who has ever taken a bootcamp with me is now a part of me as much as I am a part of him. Not to mention the truckloads of girls that I met and had the pleasure of.
Fast forward to 2007. I decided to take a year off RSD and pursue the other passion: DJ’ing.

House and electronic music has always been the soundtrack to my life. it uplifts and speaks to the core of me. I scored a wicked residency at a nightclub where I played four nights a week.
It was there I met gorgeous number 3. Young. Stunning and just so womanly and feminine that as we spent more time together we HAD to spend more time together. Being with her was like a massive decompression from the craziness that was world touring, adventure and clubbing for a couple of years.
Then the calling came again. It is this weird feeling of uneasiness I get. Something inside that points me to do certain things. It happened when I broke with girl 2 as well.
I was to go back overseas and continue my RSD quest. This time putting together all the adventure and learnings of now being a natural with women into something real and tangible for the world to see…
…The Flawless Natural Program.
I still loved her but the thing on my mind was I am a man that has his life’s work in front of him. If I am unable to do my work, how can I be a good man? and how can I even deserve a high quality woman such as girl 3?
I firmly believe that if a man is not on top of his stuff, then he doesn’t deserve a high quality woman. It is like deserving unearned riches. You can trick or fool or con people into giving you money just as you can trick or fool or con a girl into you but deep down in your soul something still is not right. It is bad.
At Melbourne airport waiting for the flight to Los Angeles was my mother, father and girl 3.
I remember sitting there knowing that I won’t see these guys for many months as I go to do what I have to do. I tried to hold it back, but as I got on the plane I actually cried for the only time I can really remember.
8 Months later. Flawless Natural was born.
And now, later, girl 3 is gone.
How would I have felt if I hadn’t gone back overseas and created FN?
How would I have felt if I didn’t go and held myself back so that I could just be with my girl?
Much worse than the loss of girl 3 due to me pursuing the dream would be for me not to go for my dream.
So yes. Break ups still hurt and still cause a lot of pain to both parties but sometimes it is just best.
Here are the practical bits of advice that I think are solid:
Surviving a break up 101
1. Don’t rethink, re-live, re-count your decision or past moments together or anything. Try not to visit places that you used to frequent. The emotions will take over and who knows what you will do. Accept the decision and move on.
2. No texting. No talking. No meeting up. Nothing. It cannot be any other way. Don’t go to the same parties or venues or anything.
3. Accept that there is hurt. Don’t deny it and be all tough man. This will just prolong it. You are essentially a good person! So just accept that it is going to be tough for a little while and get on with it.
4. Take action. Anywhere anytime. Call a friend to meet up. Start a fitness program. Do extra work. Something. Just take action. NO WALLOWING IN YOUR BED OR LAYING AROUND.
5. Think positively. You WILL find someone else. Don’t doubt yourself. You are all good, kid. This happens to everyone at some point. This is where you start to find every ounce of your natural optimism and utilize it.
6. Going and shagging 10 more girls is not going to solve everything. TRUST ME. It is only a temporary solution and wears off after a couple of days before you go and find the next girl. So don’t go all jumping in to the next relationship either. Being single is actually quite fun and cool. You get some alone time and it is much healthier on the back account too!
7. Suck it up and take it like a man. Don’t talk to EVERYONE about it ALL the time and be all “depressed break up man”. Think about your grandfather or father or their generation. When the tough times came they just dealt with it, they didn’t talk and talk and talk about it. They dealt. This is part of being a man, being able to fight your own battles.
Anyway file this post away somewhere for when you may need it. Good luck if you are in this situation. I feel you.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this weeks installment. Hope it gave you some insight.
And now on to more fun stuff…
I am off to the studio to work on some more music!

PS. I have made a master text file of all the attributes from last week. Great stuff! we will use this in the coming weeks.

Great stuff, Tim.
I’ve only had about two serious break ups in my life but since then, the smaller ones (the 2-3 month ones) have been kind of rolling off me a little better. This is good stuff to keep in mind when I do go down this path.
“In coaching clients, I met some amazing people and every guy who has ever taken a bootcamp with me is now a part of me as much as I am a part of him.”
Man, you ain’t kiddin!

Simple, Practical, Experience Based, and Effective.
Just like most of your shit.
Thanks for the constant high quality content Tim.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been moving on from a breakup and life’s actually been a lot more exciting and fun since then. Of course, there’s still the downs - but like you said, deal with it and just keep livin’.
February 3rd, 2009 at 4:48 am
thanks for the candidness man.
as we’ve said many a time, first as a man you must be on your path. NO exceptions. Build it and they will come.
the chicks handle themselves mate, but you’re right, break-ups need to be managed properly, or they can take you into the “danger zone”
keep on truckin mate. lovin your work as alwayz…

I am very impressed with your choice of writing this week. My girlfriend and I split because of an age difference and she wanted different things in her life. I am 6 years younger and I don’t know if I got involved in the relationship for the comfort or because I loved her. It was not talked about in here but thought it may be a question you might have some insight in. I mentioned she is 6 years older and she wants kids because her biological clock is ticking and I am still focused mainly on my career. My question is…is there ever a possibility for friendship later down the road or will it create jealousy and weird feeling?
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:25 am
Going through a break up right now, so you’re blog post was exactly what I was looking for.
Spent 6 months with girl while she was on exchange, fell in love, she goes back home, we stay in touch, I visit for about a month and we rediscover our love again.
I come back home, we stay in touch, but I am so focused on her that I forget to bring the hammer down, be honest about little things to “spare her feelings” and basically can’t trust myself. And if I can’t, how can she.
I decide it’s best to go our seperate ways and for me to rediscover my masculine polarity and focus on my social skills.
Thanks for writing that up Tim.
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:29 pm
The thing you said about not deserving that kind of high quality woman, is that really true? Cause I’m really “The Real Deal”, hahaha.
And i met this wonderful girl, kinda like you’re girl 2. Before me she was togheter with this really chode guy, so i don’t get it. Now she’s just stopped to text message me and call me and so on. It’s over.. both of us know it but we havent talked about it. WEIRD!
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:46 pm
moving seems to be a great way to break up! these are some touching stories
February 4th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Hey there
Your post is solid. I think, it doesn’t go that deep to be concerned about intimacy, your story could be told by a billion of other men exactly the same way.
I like the list of how to manage to get over a breakup, especially that with no syllable you write “she doesn’t even deserve you thinking about her” which would be the old pickup-mentality. You’re an Obama Person, you’re one of us. One of the future bright generation and I hope, many will follow.
What I miss is a list of how to break up with a girl while doing the least possible harm to her. That’s a topic I have been struggling over for a VERY long time.
Getting over a broken relationship that give it all to you takes mainly only one thing:
time
Best regards

Haha, awesome article man!
I’m writing the breakups section for Relationship Transition right now, and I included the advice you gave me many years ago: “The crying is partially an evolutionary response to keep you there.”
I never forgot that one, and oftentimes still ponder on whether or not it’s actually evolutionary, or just such a powerful response that it seems that way.

Yeah, that was tight!
All points are very important, and I think we as men oftentimes try to stonewall with our feelings, I did, and I do. Still, is very important to learn how to accept those feelings and still be ok with uncertainty and keep a positive frame of mind.
I personally find that thinking about GOOD past events with the recently left girl is a good thing, clearly not to the point of getting stuck!
Nice.

Hmm…. interesting and personal. Appreciate it loads… I have a gf and we happy but there are many things about relationships that i and not only i would like to ask. Would be awsome if u could answere my 1 question that has been waking me up in the night for the last 2 weeks. Dont know where to seek genuine advice and think thats the right place. My question : Me and my girlfriend play many games, one of them is slapping each other across the face in a cool way but some time ago we started slapping each other and she started hitting harder so I hit harder too and then after a while she hit me really really hard and looked what i would do……… I hit her back( not as hard as she hit me but still quite hard) and she got all insulted for a few hours… Why did she hit me very hard and looked what i would do? Was it good that i hit her back? This is my dilema.
P.S we are not a couple of freaks that hit each other every day thats why it’s been n my mind for a long time…
Hope I am not selfish asking this question. Please help if u can
Thank You

I just started talking to my ex agian recently, and the old emotions have started to flair up. It’s awesome that I read this. Great stuff man!
February 10th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Cool stuff Tim. I’ve never had a girlfriend (by choice) so I haven’t had to deal with a long term breakup, but I will keep this knowledge in my head!
I’ve been running through each week of the “Flawless Natural Lifestyle” and I love it. I’m on my 2nd week of dieting hard. Getting the 6 pack sooner than I thought!! WOOO
February 15th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
This was very helpful Tim, having recently been through this I actually thought that avoiding talking to her or running into her was a bad thing, but after reading this it makes a whole lot more sense, this article really helped… thanks
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
You had balls to break up with that first girl and go live the RSD lifestyle.
I totally respect that. I’m in an open relationship at the moment. She wants to be exclusive but I know that would be moving away from my core.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Great article on dealing with break ups. It really hit home with me since my girlfriend and I broke up the day after Valentine’s Day. You’re so right about not calling or texting. Especially true about not thinking about the past and re-living those moments. Gotta move forward and onward.
Thanx!

Awesome article man…
Agree with everything 100%.
My problem is with:
2. No texting. No talking. No meeting up. Nothing. It cannot be any other way. Don’t go to the same parties or venues or anything.
I see my ex everyday at school. Any coping mechanisms for a situation like this?
Cheers hombre!

Tim,
Great to read your blog! Very good article. I appreciate you putting yourself out there like that.
The last few months have been the emotionally toughest of my life. I have watched my mother suffer through the worst health crisis of her life. I have watched her fall into utter despondency. I have comforted her through the deaths of 2 of her hospital roommates along with helping her through her own immense physical suffering.
Strange as it may sound, a lot of the things I learned at RSD and from you in particular have been very helpful to me in these times. I realized I could apply a lot of the “success with women” ideas on my own mother!! After all, she is a woman too!!
I found a wealth of ideas in Blueprint and Flawless Natural that have helped my mother immensely. For example, using breaking rapport when she got despondent and creating a “bubble of love” and scenarios so she could see a brighter future than her current one.
I have also been the man she has needed. I have been strong to her when she was desperately in need and alone. I have been the grounding energy that has been there when she was at her worst.
Finally, after 4 grueling months, there is hope. I know what to do for her. I am able to give her the grounding energy that she so desperately needs so she can someday return to normal life.
If you ever come to LA, please get in touch. I would love to see you DJ or even just hang out.
If things go well in my business I just might take a bootcamp in Australia with Alex someday. If I do I hope to see you there.
