Episode description
Summary
Mike Watts and Aydian Dowling discuss the cultural myth that men are bad at relationships. Are men really only capable of transactional relationships with other men? Can men invest emotionally in platonic relationships? Why is the dominant paradigm that men want to “fix” others rather than be vulnerable and authentic?
Top Take-Aways
- Moving toward a transformational relationship requires sitting with another man’s pain, asking more questions, and being continued support.
- Ask others if they want advice or if they just want you to listen.
- Why don’t men, in general, offer emotional support to other men in the same way they tend to offer it to women?
