289: Ideal exercise, Resentment, Frustrated with dating, Getting better tips

What is the ideal level of exercise for one's health?
Five years ago, I was diagnosed with severe OCD. After two years of painstaking efforts, I successfully got off SSRI and recovered without the help of therapy sessions. During the height of OCD, my wife treated me with contempt, frustration, anger, hostility and total lack of compassion and patience. She justified that in the past - when were were still a new couple - that I was harsh, critical and rude towards her. How can I get over my resentments?
I feel like I am losing my mind in the dating world. I feel like men don't want to lift a finger for a relationship. Much less to even meet a girl and get laid. I'm on a dating site and get multiple likes or matches a day. I talk to guys over the app and they quickly give up. I talk to some longer term, meet up and it's like they don't want to put much effort into getting together. I think that at least 70% of it has to do with my kid and that takes some work and maneuvering. And no one seems willing to do it! It's like fast food dating or what?! I feel like I am over qualified for most these men, will settle for less, and I don't hardly get a "what's up babe". It's extremely frustrating and disappointing and makes me second guess myself every minute. I wish I could send you pictures of myself and pictures of these men I'd settle for and almost have to chase for their attention. I must be either uncalibrated or something has gone majorly wrong in the dating world.
I will be graduating from cosmetology school next month. As a professional hair stylist, tips will make up a significant part of my income. I am curious about the psychology of tipping. Is there anything that I can do to increase my chances of receiving a generous tip from my clients?
