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)…

SUMMARY
Dr. Paul begins by emphasizing that a man's career influences his relationships with women, though the focus of the program is broader, addressing various aspects of masculinity beyond just attraction. Key topics to be covered include:
1. **Main Areas of Focus**: The program will explore crucial life areas such as attraction, competition with other men, communication, physical intimacy, screening potential partners, relationship management, breakups, and leadership roles, including fatherhood.
2. **Masculine Identity**: Participants will reflect on their rank within social hierarchies, leadership capabilities, and personal responsibilities, especially regarding fatherhood and ownership of their lives.
3. **Challenges of Masculinity**: The speaker discusses the feeling of isolation and the challenges faced during tough times, symbolized by being alone in a metaphorical dark alley—representing moments of vulnerability where external support is absent.
4. **Survival and Responsibility**: There is a recognition that in critical moments, men must rely on their inner strength and strategies to navigate situations without support, akin to surviving in a lawless environment.
5. **Workplace Dynamics**: The speaker notes that even within structured environments like workplaces, there is often a lack of monitoring and rules that can create tension and competition among individuals.
Overall, the transcript sets the stage for a comprehensive program aimed at equipping men with the skills and insights necessary for navigating their personal and relational challenges effectively.
