Episode notes
Reciprocity Gap In Expectations
- Connor Beaton: Most women are taught what to expect from men while men are taught only how to treat women.
- This creates an imbalance where men meet expectations but rarely define their own standards.
The Cost Of Overgiving
- Connor Beaton: Men often overgive to meet a woman's expectations and forget to ask if she respects or contributes to their life.
- This turns many men into “expectationless” partners who sacrifice their standards to keep the relationship.
Bring Your Own Standards
- Do develop reciprocal standards so you expect respect, peace, and partnership in return.
- Do not confuse setting standards with becoming cold; standards make you more worthy of full love.
