079 – Thank you Ladies!

THANK YOU LADIES! Todays episode is going to be a little different in that, instead of talking exclusively about man stuff, I’m going to be talking about women. I don’t have access to the exact demographics, but I know for a fact that more and more women are tuning in to this show.  I think that’s great, it’s fantastic, there’s room for everybody here.  However, it does make me curious. lf So first I would like to ask a favor of the women who listen to this show.  Could you please go to the Contact Alf Tab and   and write me a letter…what I would like you to tell me is, why you listen to a show called being a better man…if you are a woman. I’m really curious, because when I started the show I thought there might be a few women who listen in, trying to gain some insight into the male mind, but I think it has gone beyond that.  I suspect there may be some single mothers of young boys who are looking for guidance, and I’m proud and happy to be a resource for you there.  There might be some women who are single and are trying to figure out what a better man would be like?  There might also be some women in relationship who want validation that the guy lounging on their couch and eating their food is not actually being a better man.  I don’t know!  That’s why I’m asking.  So if you would drop me a line that would be great. I’ve had a few women ask me if what I talk about on this show can apply to women…if it can apply to people in general.  Here’s what I think about that. My gut reaction is that 90 or 95% of the stuff I talk about on this show and what my guests talk about is completely transferable and interchangeable between the genders.  I’m not sure about that other 5 to 10% though. We are all humans after all, the primary difference being our hormonal ratio’s.  But…I also believe that men and women have some distinct differences, some of them caused by those hormonal ratios and I for one, am glad that we do have those differences, I celebrate them. In general, women and men think differently, we act and react differently.  I know this because I am married to one, I was raised by one and my sister and daughters also happen to be women…I have seen the mysterious differences first hand, and I think to deny they exist is foolish. Here’s the thing though…I don’t know, what I don’t know.  Having not been a woman myself I am not going to presume to understand all the subtle nuances that make them a woman.  I am humble enough, and smart enough to realize there are some things I just won’t get unless I have actually experienced it…being a woman is one of those things. That’s why I focus specifically on being a better...
