Episode notes
Own Your Sexual Desire
- Men should explicitly accept their sexual desire rather than hide it behind friendship or utility roles.
- Unresolved shame about sexuality leads men to approach women ambivalently and project judgments onto them.
Creepiness Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
- Creepiness is subjective and depends on the woman's attraction filter rather than an objective quality of behavior.
- The same behavior reads very differently to women who are attracted to you versus those who are not.
Be Clear Early
- Communicate sexual intent early to avoid misunderstandings and wasted time.
- Avoid sneaky indirect approaches and be clear so both parties know the relationship's intention.
