Welcome to a series of videos that will introduce you to a simple model of men’s psychology that draws on some of the growing body of research on men.

There’s more than meets the eye with men, just as there is with women. Men are driven at the core by instincts the same as women—masculine instincts.

However, just like women, they have emotions of very similar types and style. The expression is different because emoting is in some part, governed by the instincts.

Finally, the intellect and mature executive functions are also just like those of women (we have identical IQ potential - and “EQ” potential.) Yet the masculine instincts also influence that, and our communication and behavior.

This synthesis of the old and new, the rigorous and the elegant, and most important of all, an attempt at “unification of the psychologies” is the aim of Masculine Psychology, as we start to discuss in this first video.

It’s Masculine Psychology (originally, MMP), which is available in videos delivered one day at a time, for the full 5+ hours of the course (available to paid subscribers only)…

SHOW NOTES:

In this transcript, Dr Paul discusses the intense social dynamics among women, particularly focusing on the pressure to belong and maintain their reputation within their peer groups. This pressure can have severe psychological effects on young women, equating social exclusion with life-or-death stakes. Dr Paul references concepts from literature, such as the stigma from “The Scarlet Letter,” emphasizing how damaging social labels can be for women.

Additionally, Dr Paul describes interactions between men and women, advising men not to react negatively if a woman’s friend interrupts a conversation. Instead, they should acknowledge the friend and engage with her calmly, as she may simply want to maintain group solidarity or assume a protective role. The speaker encourages understanding women as part of a collective organism and offers insights into managing different personality types in social situations, suggesting that respecting the dynamics at play can help in building connections.

The podcast concludes with a reference to masculinity and the importance of mystery in interactions, possibly leading to further discussion on that topic.
