Welcome to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Beeden and on this midweek mini episode, we are going to talk about giving your masculine energy, your masculinity, a purpose, a function, where it actually looks for purpose and function.

So before we dive into this, I do want to just sort of preface this by talking about how the masculine

can become dysfunctional. And when the masculine doesn't have a purpose, doesn't have a function,

isn't in service of something, what actually happens to the masculine within us.

And so one of the biggest ways, I guess to sort of distill this down and I'll give you some

examples of it, but one of the main ways that the masculine will become dysfunctional is

when it becomes in service of itself, right, When it becomes in service of itself, because the masculine

in many ways and many areas represents growth, expansion. It represents pouring itself out

into the world, creating order, creating structure, providing direction. And so when the masculine becomes in

service of itself, when it comes in service of growth, for example, and growth only, it can

become very dysfunctional. So if you look at something like the stock market, right? The stock market is a very

masculine oriented infrastructure, this very masculine oriented framework. And it is largely

in service of itself. There's no real taking into account the external ramifications of the stock

market's perpetual expansion. It's perpetual growth. It serves that one primary finite focus,

which is to expand and grow at all means at all costs and to move in one direction,

right? And so when the masculine is in service to itself, right, as an individual, let's just say,

that individual, if they have a lot of masculine energy and that masculine energy is just in

service of itself, it will cause all kinds

of chaos right it will be devoid of compassion it will be devoid of this sort of like life

force of the feminine it'll be devoid of empathy or um taking other sort of realistic or life force or life energy components into the equation

when it comes to things like growth and expansion.

And it'll cut out things that are very feminine in nature like intuition.
