On Today's Episode:
Gender roles and equality continue to be a hot topic of discussion. As women make progress in the workplace, gender pay gaps improve, educational opportunities are getting better as women break glass ceilings.
Every action has a reaction and now we’re starting to see unintended problems arise for men. There is a mating crisis stemming from the masculinity crisis that has men and women questioning what it means to be a man.
Chris Williamson is a podcaster, YouTuber, and former professional party boy. His podcast Modern Wisdom is the inside journey of him learning out loud from some of the most interesting people on the planet. He’s working on his first book about the mating crisis and joining Tom in this thought provoking conversation about masculinity that doesn’t diminish femininity.
With women outperforming men in education and earning more than men in 2023 while also being the gatekeepers of sex men are turning to porn and video games, while women struggle to find male partners that complement their success.
Chris is very clear that this important conversation is not about putting the breaks of women, but rather solving how to put the gas on men to become worthy partners that add value, protect and preserve his relationship and family.
QUOTES:
“The alignment of essence and action would be a good way to get started with integrity.”
“It is a challenging time to be a man at the moment in 2023. I think that it is very hard for you to find a firm place to stand with your masculinity.”
“The pessimist always finds out that they’re right.”
“After a while you have to admit to yourself that your imposter syndrome has got nothing to do with your capacity and everything to do with your addiction to feeling like an imposter.”
“The male sedation hypothesis is that men are being sedated out of their status seeking and their reproductive desires through porn and video games…”
“I think men and women have biological predispositions that cause them to be better suited towards different sorts of tasks.”
“I really think that we’re going to have a mating crisis on our hands which is driven out of education and employment.”
“You have an ever increasing cohort of women competing for an ever decreasing cohort of ultra high-performing men.”
“If you give a man purpose and the ability to achieve it he will crawl over broken glass with a smile.”
“If you cannot find a partner that you genuinely are attracted to and that you genuinely want, that’s not good for you either. If one sex loses, both sexes lose.”
“Men and women are supposed to raise each other up.”

| 2:20.9 | I'm Tom Billio and welcome to impact theory. I honestly think that you could look at a man on the street now point at him and have a 50% chance that he hasn't had sex in the last year. |
| 2:28.9 | The culture wars are going to start to dwindle and this is going to be the next big thing if I was to bet some money on what's going to go on. |
| 2:36.9 | I asked my Twitter audience what I should ask you since you're going to be on the show and they want to know about masculinity so let me ask you what does it mean to be a real man. |
| 2:46.9 | Masculinity has a very difficult place to stand in 2023 to be able to find a place which is both aspirational for young men to look up to and also acceptable publicly. |
| 2:57.9 | That seems to be a very difficult line to balance at the moment. I would certainly say that integrity telling the truth, courage, bravery. |
| 3:05.9 | To find integrity for me. Your actions and your words are lining. The things that you say that you're going to do and the things that you actually do. |
| 3:12.9 | The things that you do in public and the things that you do in private. The things that you do when nobody is watching and the things that you do when you're on a stage. |
| 3:19.9 | The alignment of essence and action I think would be a good way to get started with integrity. |
| 3:27.9 | It's pretty good. All right so we've got integrity truth, bravery. But I think I interrupted a longer list. |
| 3:32.9 | Courage, hard work, perseverance, protect, preserve, provide. |
