March 23 Episode 607: Protecting against gold diggers (show them the money)
Successful men often ask me how to effectively integrate protecting against gold diggers into their dating strategy. The answer is simpler than you think. The key principle? Show them the money, but never allow them to separate your resources from your presence. Gold diggers will attempt to do so and will resort to emotional manipulation strategies when they encounter resistance – non-exploitative women won't.

March 20 Episode 606: The time to live (your second birthday)
Most men live as if they have unlimited tomorrows – but the time to live is now. In this episode, I confront the illusion of future fulfillment and the trap of endless striving. All great and lasting works are produced after a man's second birthday: the moment he wakes up to his own mortality. Procrastination is a form of arrogance, as it presumes time enough to act. If you've been postponing your life, this is your wake-up call.

March 16 Episode 605: Let men solve problems (he's not your girlfriend)
Why do women get frustrated when men try to offer them solutions? In this episode, I argue that relationships suffer when we ignore men's natural strengths and insist they conform to women's communication preferences. Therapeutic culture maintains that listening is the answer. However, that's rarely true. It's important for women to remember he's not your girlfriend. When women let men solve problems, they build appreciation and complementarity instead of invalidation and resentment.

March 13 Episode 604: Optimization fatigue (why you feel worse as you get better)
Are you exhausted from trying to optimize every area of your life? In this episode, I discuss optimization fatigue and how constant self-improvement messaging quietly drains your energy. This is why you feel worse as you get better, even when you're making real progress. It turns out that optimization isn't actually optimal for either growth or outcome. If this is you, it may be time to step off the eudaimonic treadmill.

March 09 Episode 603: Bad boys (why women want them)
Why are women consistently drawn to bad boys – even when they expressly say they want the opposite? Although bad boys are essentially intimidating and antisocial, their disregard stimulates women's emotions and their aggressiveness serves as a female safety cue. This is the reason why women want them: the danger they represent signals protection and an invitation to social freedom.

March 06 Episode 602: How to get over an ex (the two best strategies)
Heartbreak can steal months – or years – of your life, if you let it. In this episode, I break down how to get over an ex using psychological truths – not wishful thinking. The two best strategies for doing so are exposure and extinction, and they both arrive at the same destination, namely: neutrality in the face of the lost object. If you're ready to reclaim your dignity and move on for good, this episode is for you.

March 02 Episode 601: A useful eight (my ideal woman)
Many people have asked me about my ideal woman. My answer is simple: my ideal woman is a useful eight. She is attractive enough to captivate my sexual interest, but not so attractive as to make herself impractically high-maintenance. Furthermore, she adds value to my life – rather than depletes it. I offer this practical framework so that other men might benefit in their own vetting processes.

February 27 Episode 600: Cheap sex (it's not all bad)
There are many people who lament the current state of the sexual marketplace. Characterized by (relatively) cheap sex and inappropriate expectations, dating in today's day and age is like living in the lawless wild west. However, it's not all bad. One of the many silver linings here is that the devaluation of female sexual access has created the practical necessity for women to improve their value proposition. Just like men have had to “level up” for centuries, modern women now find themselves in the position of needing to demonstrate they are more than just a sexual partner in order to secure commitment.

February 23 Episode 599: She who cries wolf (is she seeing clearly?
Women initiate the lion's share of divorces. Are they detecting real threats to their relationships or are they crying wolf? Heightened threat sensitivity in conjunction with neuroticism can turn fake problems into real problems by eroding trust, credibility, and long-term stability. The fact is that false positives can be just as destructive as false negatives. The question for she who cries wolf is simple: is she seeing clearly?

February 20 Episode 598: Relaxing into her feminine (the soft life)
It is not uncommon to hear a woman today speak of “relaxing into her feminine.” When a strong provider arrives to pay the bills and solve the problems, she is finally free to luxuriate in her feelings and fully experience her womanhood. And while there is nothing inherently wrong about the soft life, such a perspective begs the question: why is it so difficult for femininity to appear outside of ideal conditions? Is it really such a fragile thing?
