Exploring the 'hire slow and fire fast' concept in corporate HR and applying it to personal relationships; emphasizing the importance of thorough vetting processes for potential partners; discussing the significance of communication frequency in relationships and the value of managing expectations; advocating for personal growth and swift recognition of warning signs in dating dynamics; highlighting the benefits of continuous applicant interviewing and the advantage of a large applicant pool in decision-making processes.

In this conversation, Shawn T. Smith, an author known for his tactical guide on relationships, discusses his latest book, "Gatekeeper." He highlights the necessity for men to skillfully vet relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and personal experience over mere checklists of red flags. The talk dives into the influence of early relationships on adult expectations, the challenges of modern dating, and the emotional dynamics essential for maintaining healthy partnerships. Shawn also reflects on societal pressures faced by women balancing career and family.

Because of their hypergamous tendencies, women generally mate and date for gain -- and they typically have no qualms about passing over men who are not in a position to provide benefit. However, in every culture on the planet, it is the servant who takes the money. The servant is the one who is paid. One of the most over-looked consequences of hypergamy is the creation of a relational indebtedness that was historically discharged in domestic service. This does not interest most modern women; however, they are also not interested in disabusing themselves of their hypergamous tendencies. As might be expected, this creates problems in the economy of the sexual marketplace.

Whether we like it or not, life -- in its particulars -- is often a zero-sum game. In order to get what you want, it is often the case that no one else can have it. And getting what you want typically involves winning out against your competition. As a general rule, overpaying is the cost of winning: you will need to give more than anyone else in order to secure the desired good. One of the unintended consequences of this is that getting what you want tends to be disappointing. This is because -- in order to win any particular good -- you likely had to pay more than that good was worth.

A common refrain I hear in my consultations with men is feeling disrespected. These men feel as though other men look down on them, and that women tend to overlook them. And since I've been giving the same feedback in multiple sessions, I thought I would make an episode on the topic to spare guys the trouble. Basically, it's dangerous for a man to appear harmless, as it makes it more likely that he will be the target for aggression that others would like to direct elsewhere -- but are too afraid to do so. Whether we like it or not, fear is the basis of respect.

I might take some heat for this one, but I'm not a big fan of couples therapy -- mostly because I haven't seen it associated with a very high rate of success. In this episode, I give several reasons why this may be the case, and argue that -- if therapy is needed -- most issues can be more productively addressed in individual counseling. It's very hard to tell the truth that one person can hear; it's almost impossible to tell the truth that two people can hear simultaneously.
