Summary
Talking points: attachment, relationships, culture
I recently brought in an attachment specialist for the Alliance because a lot of men are noticing an uptick in women who are emotionally distant, avoid vulnerability, and break it off the second things get serious. There are a ton of ways to look at this, and lots of factors, but I wanted to dig in a bit—and give some insight into what YOU can do if you're dating an avoidant woman.

| 0:00.0 | All right, team, welcome back to the man talk show. |
| 0:07.6 | Connor Beaton here. |
| 0:08.6 | And today, I want to be talking about the rise of the avoidant attached woman. |
| 0:13.4 | Why are women more and more avoidant than ever before? |
| 0:18.0 | And what do you do about it? |
| 0:19.1 | Obviously, there's the route that I see many of you taking in |
| 0:22.5 | the comment section, which is just, F that. I'm not dating avoidant women and I get that. I understand |
| 0:28.9 | that maybe that's something that you're not interested in for some of the reasons that we're |
| 0:32.6 | to talk about here, because I think what a lot of women maybe miss out on is what men actually prefer and desire and |

| 1:17.4 | This is something that Adam Lane Smith and I talked about in the Mantox Alliance, which is |
| 1:22.3 | a group of men, about 800 guys from around the world that I run, which can check out on |

| 1:31.2 | And we were talking about how the tides have shifted. |
| 1:36.0 | Traditionally, men were a little bit more avoidant and women were a little bit more anxious in their attachment styles because of social norms, relational dynamics, the expectations |
