In this podcast, we’re going to look at the crisis behind why so many men are struggling to get into relationships?Are men the problem? Or maybe women are the reason why men are single or is it society or maybe dating apps? Who’s fault is it and can we rescue relationships? Should we rescue relationships and you are probably thinking, what’s wrong with being single?
Back in January, my son and I were testing for our next tae kwon do belt. I had just started tae kwon do 2 months earlier after quitting 30 years ago, so I was excited to do it with my son. Long story short, my ex, who had picked him up from school, texted me and said he didn’t want to go to my testing because he was tired and had a long day. I was incensed by this. I told her she wasn’t teaching him the right thing about how to support a family member, that we were making memories together. I insisted that he come with me. She said she was surprised how selfish and narcissistic I was being. She later said to me, do you know how much he is in engaged in tae kwon do to make you happy?
If you’re anything like I was early in my Nice Guy recovery, you have a hard time setting boundaries. Especially with women. We tend to let a pretty woman walk all over us, afraid if we set boundaries she will walk away.Over the years, working with hundreds of Nice Guys, I’ve noticed they struggle with boundaries too. I used to think boundaries were negative, that they made you rigid, and that people with boundaries were just selfish. Then one day, I heard Dr. Glover say, “Boundaries are an act of love.” This threw me because I couldn’t see how love could be rigid. But he explained that boundaries show others what you will accept and what you won’t. Without boundaries, there’s no love, especially for yourself. And if you can’t respect yourself enough to have limits, how can you truly love others?
In this podcast, we’re going to explore Is Being Vulnerable Unattractive To Women? Now, there are a lot of messages fed to men that being vulnerable is key in relationships, but this is also confusing as some men as they report that when they are vulnerable, she pull away, look disgusted or become upset.So, should you be vulnerable in a relationship or not? If not, then why not? If yes, how can men be vulnerable without killing attraction?
Why do so many men struggle with social skills? Why do so many men struggle to understand women? Why are so many men isolated and lonely? Why are so many men hypersensitive? These questions come up regularly with nice guys I work with. Some then ask me, does this mean I’m on the autism spectrum? Am I just wired this way?
In this podcast, you will learn how you can still date successfully even if you have kids. I will share my experience, mid 40s I date women in their early 30s and how they treated me and my kids.

Ever found yourself saying, 'Of course I'll take care of the dishes,' to your spouse, only to conveniently 'forget' later? Or maybe you’ve caught yourself saying, 'Sure babe, I’d be happy to weed the entire yard while you go take a bath! Whatever you want,' then ruminating and secretly planning their demise in a revenge fantasy straight out of the Show Dexter? Welcome to the realm of passive aggression, where 'Nice Guys' have turned being incredibly agreeable into an art form—while seething like a pressure cooker on the inside. It's like being the world's most polite volcano—on the surface, we’re all “sure, you bet, anytime” smiling and being calm, but beneath, there's a molten core of frustration just waiting to blow."
Have you ever seen two people in a relationship that you know is dead but somehow they didn’t get the memo? You probably know on a gut level what I’m talking about - you see two people who do nothing but argue, complain about each other, or completely ignore each other. I believe that a relationship is a living thing with its own life force that can die. The two partners may still be officially a couple and they may still be attached to each other but the love and care and energy have evaporated. Yet the thing just keeps going, staggering around from day to day, draining those who come in contact with it. This is what I call the nightmare scenario: a zombie relationship. How do you know if you’re in a zombie relationship and how do you prevent it?

Today we’re going to delve into a polarizing topic. No, not which direction should the toilet paper hang. Not does pineapple belong on pizza. I’m talking about friends of the opposite sex if you’re in a committed relationship. Gasp! What do you do if you’re in a relationship and she has a lot of male friends? Are you okay with that? Or are you just insecure if you don’t want her to have these types of relationships? Is it okay that you have friendships with members of the opposite sex if you’re in a committed relationship?
A lot of men want to know, will I be a nice guy forever? The conventional wisdom in nice guy coaching is that you will always be recovering from vestiges of the syndrome, that you are always susceptible to falling back into nice guy patterns. But can some or all nice guy patterns be fully resolved or eliminated? Just how much can someone change?

In my book, that may not always be the case.
Why are men’s groups so critical for a man? When I started my journey of becoming a conscious man, I did it through books and 1 on 1 coaching. And I made a lot of progress. I learned more about how to lead in my relationships, set boundaries, and get out of my comfort zone. But I didn’t realize that I had actually hit a wall in my growth. If you want to understand what this wall is, then keep listening.

An anxiety I’ve often had in the past when it came to my relationships was that my partner might leave me. This only contributed to my Nice Guy Behavior in, well just about every area of the relationship. This fear that “she may leave you” is fuel to the Nice Guy Syndrome. I’ve seen this pattern over and over again with the men that I work with in my coaching Nice Guys who are trying to recover and become integrated men. It seems that this fear is so deeply entrenched that it’s almost written into the Nice Guys DNA. That’s because it is.

There is one stereotype about the nice guy that he is needy and clingy and stays in a bad relationship no matter what. And yes, I’ve been guilty of that. But what about the nice guy that can’t commit? Can’t commit to a woman or a job or a hobby or even meeting your friend for dinner?
Recently I was complaining to my personal men’s group about being tired, about being disappointed in the ambivalence in some of the men I work with and men in general aren’t interested in self-development, and just uninterested in anything other than sex, sports and video games. I’ve been doing men’s work for almost 20 years both as a participant and a leader. Quite frankly, I was tired, burnt out, and not seeing the fruits of my labor, at least in my expectations. I was contemplating giving it all up and retiring to become an artist. One of my brothers brought out what we refer to in our group as the sacred dick and slapped me in the face with it.
