Masculine Psychology - Class 5, Lesson 7

Men’s Psychology - the science of being a man
About this episode

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:

The talk discusses the concept of giving within interpersonal relationships, particularly focusing on dating dynamics between men and women. The speaker emphasizes the importance of giving in alignment with one’s financial capacity, which can help avoid feelings of resentment or anxiety when the recipient doesn’t express gratitude. This balanced approach allows both parties to engage without the complications of expectation or manipulation.

The discussion shifts to financial mindfulness, suggesting that individuals start saving a portion of their earnings, regardless of their current financial situation. The speaker also touches upon elements of mythology, specifically referencing Hades as a symbol for solitude and the unconscious. The dialogue illustrates a deeper exploration of masculinity, solitude, and the psychological implications of financial exchanges in relationships. Overall, the message advocates for intentionality in both giving and financial management to maintain healthy dynamics in personal interactions.
