The Zan and Jordan Show — Episode 50 —There Is No Journey In The Land Of Women
Why treating dating as a “journey” quietly destroys love, authenticity and real connection with women—and what to do instead.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Why “getting good with women” often leads you away from what you actually want (love, not just sex)
- The subtle harm—to yourself and others—of treating women as steps on a personal growth journey
- Why neediness, manipulation and ego often disguise themselves as “progress”
- How opening the heart changes everything—and how to navigate that messy, incremental and human process

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Many men in our circle approach dating as a journey. A path. A process of improvement that will one day deliver them to love, confidence, or mastery with women.
But when women sense they’re being treated ‘merely’ as part of that journey—as a lesson, a test, or a stepping stone—something essential disappears.
This episode explores the quiet damage caused by turning intimacy into a project. Zan and Jordan speak candidly about the confusion, ego, missteps, heartbreak, and slow reckonings that shaped their understanding of love. From hiding one’s fire, to misusing power, to losing the heart entirely and finding it again.
What emerges is a simple truth: there is no journey. There is only the woman in front of you, and the quality of presence, honesty, and heart you bring to that moment.

Ars Amorata is a philosophy of beauty. It is a way of life. It is not a religion. It is a belief system, similar to the way one might call Stoicism a belief system or a way of life. It is a layer that exists (or not) below all religion and all social s
