Summary

Talking points: relationships, culture

This might bother some of you, but I think it needs discussing, because I get it all the time in comments, emails, and DMs: serious disappointment and frustration with dating. From men and women both. There are a lot of reasons for this, both surface-level and deeper, but here's what I'm seeing the most.

(00:05:04) - What we’re not actually teaching young men

You've probably noticed a pretty big shift within the realm of dating, relationships, and marriage.

0:13.9

A shift that has created some significant challenges between men and women.

0:19.6

And to be honest with you in today's episode, I'm going to talk

0:22.3

about some things that are probably going to piss some of you off, going to be uncomfortable.

0:27.0

You're not going to like some of what I have to say. You might disagree. All of that's fine.

0:31.1

And I'm sure that you'll tell me in the comments. But the reality is, is that there has been a

0:36.1

massive shift in dating and relationships to the

0:39.2

degree where men and women are constantly saying how dissatisfied they are, how unhappy they are.

1:38.4

the ick in relationships. So the endless reasons why women decide to end their marriage or their

1:44.0

divorce, that they're encouraged, that they're cheered on for breaking up the family system, right?

1:49.9

75% of divorces are initiated by women.

1:53.0

And yet this is something that seems to be celebrated within our culture and our society.

1:58.7

And I understand that there's many marriages that probably

2:01.2

should end. I'm not saying that everybody should stay together. Some people actually should not be

2:06.1

together and probably shouldn't have been together in the first place. I get that. I've seen those
