Description

It's no secret that men in Western culture tend to struggle with emotional intimacy. It seems almost ingrained in our culture. Ryan stumbled on a comment from a Reddit post that seemed to offer an interesting perspective on why men find being emotionally intimate so difficult and how that impacts our romantic relationships before they've even started.

We are talking about:

  1. Why emotional intimacy struggles lead to the "nice guy" effect
  2. Why women seem to have an easier time being emotionally intimate with men without a romantic connection
  3. What can be done to help craft a better and safer culture for men to express their feelings and for men and women to establish better boundariesAbsurdity is available on all major podcasting platforms and at https://theabsurdity.org
