In this episode we are going to be talking about Learning How To Speak Female. I’m going to provide two different examples of “jobs” you can do if you're newly married and aren’t sure how to support your wife when she says this to you, “Do you have time to talk?”. If you’re newly married hopefully you haven’t got yourself in any trouble yet by providing “MALE” feedback to emotional challenges you haven’t been given permission by your wife to provide.

In this episode we are going to go over the two different “JOBS” you have when confronted with a dynamic like this. The first stage is LISTEN & REPEAT/CONFIRM and most importantly do not provide any feedback. You’re feedback is rooted in raw & honest male feedback like you would provide to the guys in the locker room after you just one a big game. Women don’t respond to male feedback and if you listen and follow through with this simple process, you’ll understand how you can be supportive to your wife in the best way possible for her. This your wife remember, not a hooker you met in Vegas after college.

The second stage is LISTEN & REPEAT/CONFIRM and provide empathetic feedback within a manageable time frame for you. This video will go over the details and we can create another series like this to add more color if necessary.

Our sponsor or this episode is The Peder North Emotionally Vulnerable Everyday Greeting card collection. DO NOT GIVE THESE CARDS TO YOUR WIFE IF YOU ARE GOOD STANDINGS WITH HER! If you aren’t married and are dating, keep a couple of these cards in your glove compartment and have one with you in case your date thinks you need to pay for 12 togo meals for all of her kids. There are a total of four cards and if you purchase all of the at our store, you will get free shipping. I forget how much they are, but you aren’t going to break the bank, I promise.

That’s all I got for now! I’ll see ya in there!

This episode I'm going to taking CLIPS from two different interviews that were posted to YouTube.

The first interview is with Scott Galloway and he was interviewed by the Diaries Of A CEO podcast. The title of the video is, "The Real Reason Why 90% Of Men Are Lost In Life". If I was assigning homework, which I'm not! I would recommend watching the whole video. It's only 20 minutes.
https://youtu.be/noAwyPyYjKQ?si=5OjUaf5iCPIcqE1Q

The second Interview is with Richard Reeves and he was interviewed by someone on the Amanpour and Company YouTube Channel. The title of the video is "Of Boys To Men:" Why the Modern Male Is Struggling. Richards entire interview is about 17 minutes and you should watch this one also. https://youtu.be/kLBHUC90UFg?si=TMPkDdtAO-Ob8kKj

The reason for sharing these insights and facts are so YOU might be able to understand in greater detail, "Why Are Men Struggling Today?" and it isn't just a YOU problem. Let me explain, I believe most men think their unique struggles/problems are theres alone and no one else has ever had similar personal challenges. This simply isn't true, it's one of the downfalls of living an emotionally stoic life passed down to us by the traditional male value system. Men default to stuffing everything and believe they are the only ones in emotional pain. For me, the more I shared about my own personal pain, the more I was told that I was far from unique and many other men shared similar battles.

One of the other challenges I faced was accepting that society has evolved and become more modern. What I didn't appreciate was no one ever informed of the changes once it happened. They just happened and society wasn't concerned at all about how I felt about any of them. The fact that I had to accept these changes without me sharing any of my feedback was unacceptable to me. But guess what? Society doesn't need my permission or any males permission to make changes they believe are in the best interest to the "Greater Good".

For me, this is where the rub is. Things just changed and it wasn't just a few things, it was a number of things. Having to deal with all of them at once made me overwhelmed and uncertain of the most appropriate way to respond. In hindsight, I accepted some of the new changes with very little resistance but the one's I didn't care for just made me ANGRY! I got angry because I didn't have the right tools or words to express myself and proceeded to isolated myself from the outside world while I played video games.

I believe a lot of men are dealing with all the new evolved and modern changes this way and I'm hoping together we can figure out a better to work through them and deal with our frustrations. This is another reason why I've started the private male only Discord server, so join us if you can ID with anything I've mentioned about.

So watch this podcast episode and let it soak in. Watch it a couple of times to let it settle in deeper. I know all of us will be much better off if we can create our own narrative and set up manageable and realistic personal boundaries for dynamics happening today men appreciate. Like anything else, it just takes practices. I'll see ya in there!

With regards to today’s episode, I’ve had time this week to connect with a couple of my boys who are straight up blue collar men and listen to their feedback. When I asked them if they could relate & understand my content on the podcast, their reply was, “I’ve got to let it sink in!”.

That was all I needed to hear to realize I needed to make a change and this episode is a result of following through based on their feedback. My goal is to make the content even more simpler for everyone to understand.

There is another reason which I've considered and maybe I’m not explaining myself well enough to effectively get my point across and it’s getting lost in translation. Either way, we will go with this approach for at least this episode.

I knew I needed a practical example my boys could ID with and connect it to how today’s “WOKE” culture has impacted, criticized and overlooked the importance of some of the traditional male values.

In this episode, I attempt to convey my point about how the new “WOKE” mentality has inadvertently overlooked and criticized how men value themselves and I'm going to do this be using Salsa dancing.

I hope we would all agree that it would be awkward to see a female partner, in the middle of a salsa dancing routine, suddenly stop during the dance and tell her male partner that she no longer valued his role as a male dancing partner and she wanted to take his place. The image in my head of this actually happening on a professional stage just doesn’t make sense to me and I can't ever seeing imagine it really happening.

Although if you exchange salsa dancing with how men are being treated today's in our new "WOKE" culture and mentality, doesn't it make a little more sense?

Wouldn't you agree? Men? Ladies? Maybe not. Regardless, please comment if you disagree and provide an example of how this analogy isn’t a practical rexample of how men are being treated today. Go ahead and bring it on, I’m ready to get into a healthy and collaborative debate. I’ll see ya in there!
