A tough love dating coach has said women should immediately block anyone online if their partner asks them to, no questions asked.
Jake Maddock has sparked a furious debate with his latest rule, but he claimed that women who “value relationships” will block anyone immediately.
“When you get a text from a guy you don’t like, tell him, ‘Block that guy for me,'” Jake advised in a video.
“Your ideal partner will do it immediately,” Jake added.
The controversial dating expert claims to have cracked the code when it comes to finding and building a “perfect” relationship after struggling for years to do so.
The “one-liner” should work instantly, every time, no excuses, according to the love coach.
And it worked for his ideal partner, now wife, when they started dating.
“The first few weeks we were dating, my wife got a text from a friend. I asked her to block him and she did. One sentence, no argument, great,” he said.
Jake Maddock believes he’s cracked the code when it comes to finding and building the “perfect” relationship after years of struggling to achieve it.
“That’s how it should be. You should block someone from being your partner if it makes them happy.”
Some agreed with Jake’s philosophy but objected to the approach, stating that couples should have a conversation about boundaries and insecurity.
“(Blocking someone) should definitely be done if there is any possibility of romantic interest. But if it’s an old friend with no romantic ideas or history, you can spend time with them as a couple, add them to both of your friends. It should be a conversation,” one said.
Another added: “I definitely don’t think it should be an argument or a competition, and we should be willing to do these kinds of things for our partners, but not asking questions? That’s a red flag and seems controlling.”
“It could even be manipulated if the person does not have pure motives in demanding it,” they noted.
A third wrote: “It’s important to talk about it because jealousy is still a potential issue in that situation. Sometimes being asked by a partner to block or unfollow someone is an opportunity to talk about boundaries, needs, and even insecurities.
“It doesn’t mean that the person has to feel unsafe to ask you to block someone, but it may mean that there are more things to talk about to keep the relationship healthy. It shouldn’t be an argument, but rather a conversation.”
Others criticized the relationship coach for his “backward” advice.
“Control is a warning sign,” said one.
“You mean isolating your partner from their friends? Maybe you should go to therapy instead! My advice to her: RUN!” wrote another.
“Insecurity is out of control,” added one woman.
The controversial dating coach has previously stated that men should pay for and plan all dates and that couples should have sex at least three times a week.
She also believes that ideal couples “should never argue,” should want to spend time together as much as possible, and should go on a date every week.
