080: The Psychology of How Men Fall in Love (And Why It's Different Than You Think)
Description
Why does he pull away after intimacy? Why does he need space when you need connection? Why does he take longer to fall in love — but fall harder when he does?
It's not because he's emotionally unavailable. It's not because he doesn't care. And it's definitely not because you're "too much."
It's because men and women are biologically, hormonally, and neurologically wired to love in completely different ways.
In this episode, Melissa Peters breaks down the actual psychology and neuroscience behind how men bond, pursue, and commit — so you can finally stop taking his behavior personally and start working with masculine biology instead of against it.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
💋 Why your nervous system panics when he pulls back — and what's actually happening in his brain when he goes quiet
💋 The key difference between how women bond (through closeness) vs. how men bond (through effort) — and why this changes everything
💋 What oxytocin, testosterone, and vasopressin have to do with his pursuit, his pull-back, and his long-term commitment
💋 Why giving devotion too soon actually prevents him from bonding — and what to do instead
💋 The 3 ways men actually fall in love
💋 Why his pull-back after intimacy is not rejection — it's regulation (and how to respond without pushing him away)
💋 What makes a man commit long-term & how to become that woman
💋 The masculine-feminine dance: why giving him space makes him come back stronger, more devoted, and more polarized
This episode will completely shift how you see men, how you interpret his behavior, and how you show up in relationships.
Because when you understand his psychology, you stop feeling insecure, unseen, or unchosen… and you start feeling claimed, cherished, and understood.
✨ Key Concepts from this episode:
- The "Nothing Box" — how men process emotions differently than women
- Why men bond through earning you, not through ease
