372: Are you scared of women? (ft. Jason Lange)
Dear Men: How to Rock Sex, Dating, and Relationships With WomenAbout this episode
If you've ever been scared of approaching a woman because you might make her uncomfortable; frightened about what a woman might ask of you; or worried about "getting in trouble" with your women partner, I have news for you: You're a normal man. That said, there are also some underlying patterns that may need addressing, particularly if this is a recurring pattern that's preventing you from even getting started dating, or holding you back from what you really want: A loving, healthy, life-expanding romantic partnership. Here we delve into the most common ways we've seen men be afraid of women -- and what to do about it. --- Come to the retreat!

I had to learn how to self-soothe.” “It’s hard for us to relax as young boys if mom is wound up all the time.” “All I do is hear mom talk about how awful dad and men are.” “There’s a way you need to be in order to receive love.” “I have to rescue my mom.” “If we’re in fear of her (or her state), it’s hard for her to trust us.”
