  • Top notch life & dating advice.

    This dude - as I used to call him - used to rub me up the wrong way often on IG during covid with his take on dating and especially women. But I’m a person who finds it’s interesting listening to new viewpoints. So I’d listen to the full videos when they popped up.. and after a while I began to see Dr Taraban’s point.

  • Pushing an unsubstantiated agenda.

    There’s an obvious heavy conservative lean to this persons viewpoint. He seeks to make you fit in the little box he deems appropriate for you. It is categorically inappropriate for him to present like an authority when it is so clear there is much of his personal feelings about gender roles etc. enters the conversation. He’s skewering the information to fit his narrative. Don’t trust him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 559: She can cry (how to deal with an emotional woman)
Q: What does it mean to cultivate your dad sense?
It means quickly judging a situation to determine whether action is necessary or if it's best to do nothing when a woman cries.
Deep Dive 008: Dr. Robert Glover (authenticity, attraction, and nice guy syndrome)
Q: What if you're unattractive to women just as you are?

Deep Dive 008: Dr. Robert Glover (authenticity, attraction, and nice guy syndrome)
Q: What is a nice guy and what's so bad about it?
A nice guy is someone who doesn't believe he is okay as he is, often basing his self-worth on the approval of others, which can lead to unhealthy relationship dynamics.
