In this episode, I sit down with emotional intelligence dating coach Chris Gillis to unpack why so many successful, high-performing men thrive in their careers—but struggle in their dating lives. Chris shares how he helps men bridge that gap by translating connection, attraction, and communication in a way that actually works with women. We talk about moving beyond “nice guy” answers, how to bring more edge and authenticity into conversations, and why emotional intelligence is the real game-changer in dating. From how to approach women and navigate first dates to understanding what women really respond to, this conversation is full of practical insights for men who are ready to feel more confident, connected, and successful in love.0:00 Introduction to Chris Gillis2:37 To be nerdy but able to express and connect with women3:30 He helps men makes sense of dating, translate to the men8:34 Instead of “nice guy” answers, how to paint an edgier picture14:24 How to answer a woman on a date with the WHY, not a boring reply18:20 Why successful men crush their jobs but not dating life?21:10 Women should give men more grace23:10 Emotional Intelligence and men threading info in conversation25:53 How long should a first date be?30:17 One of Chris’ dating modules: Men asking a real woman for live help, flirting, etc.32:07 How should a man approach a woman?36:55 Do you suggest men to do online dating?42:20 Men are scared and that’s a good thingChris Gillis is an emotional intelligence dating coach for high-performing, kind-hearted men who struggle to find and attract high-quality partners.
