Three Rules for a Successful Marriage

Bestselling author and modern masculinity expert Scott Galloway joins Paul for a raw conversation about dating, loneliness, and why so many young men are quietly falling behind. Scott breaks down how technology, online dating, and economic anxiety are reshaping male identity - and why men must take responsibility before resentment takes over.

Scott explains why men are struggling more than any generation before them, how synthetic relationships are replacing real intimacy, and men should “use their sex drive to become a better man”. From dating apps and divorce to fatherhood, friendship, and the pressure to provide, this is an uncomfortable but necessary conversation about what it actually means to be a man today.

Scott shares:

◽ Why so many men have given up on dating altogether

◽ Why we’re creating asocial, asexual men

◽ The biggest boner-killer for women

◽ How online dating has eliminated most men from the mating market

◽ Why economic anxiety, not infidelity, is the real cause of divorce

◽ The danger of AI and synthetic relationships for young people

◽ Why men without strong relationships are most at risk after divorce

◽ How fatherhood finally made him feel “enough”

◽ What young men can do now to rebuild confidence, purpose and connection
