On todays episode, Rob goes on a bit of a rant. I know, you're not surprised. Here's the thing--in media, we tend to neglect meaningful relationships between men that aren't sexualized. 
So what Rob?  Shouldn't we also have good examples of romantic relationships between men? 
Yes, we should. But does it have to be one or the other? Unfortunately, good examples of masculine, non-romantic love are lacking in media. That means for many men, we feel that any love or desire we feel to be close, even physically, to another man means we are gay.  That leads many men to shy away from meaningful expressions of love. 
So, come get close to us as we try to untangle this mess so that men can have good examples of positive love, both romantic and not.  
Then go watch Good Omens on Prime, Our Flag Means Death on HBO, or RRR on Netflix.

We've talked before about how it can be hard to like your kids. But, let's be honest--our generation was the last good one. All the ones below ours are just wastes of space with weird ideas and lazy attitudes. 

Have you ever considered that that is a common refrain for EVERY generation? We all think the ones below us are doomed. Yet, somehow they keep progressing. So, on today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob talk about how to skip the line and get on board now with meeting your kids where they are and accepting who they will become. It sure ain't easy, but doesn't The Manspace always provide? Answer that by watching us on Youtube. My kids still don't accept me.

Turns out, we did not cure loneliness with our last episode on loneliness. So this time, Matt, Mike, and Rob REALLY look at it. Not like before when we only sort of looked at it.  Like, we work to define it so you know if you're lonely or not. In case you couldn't tell before and you need the Manspace to tell you how you feel. And of course we figure out how to overcome it. Spoiler, it takes work. 

Apparently loneliness is kind of a huge problem for men. Like huge enough that they are worried it's a major contributing factor to male suicide rates. So, we better figure out how to not be lonely. Start by listening to this episode. Then, share it with your friends. Then, get together and talk about what we talk about on the show. Then, feel lonely no more.

Do I love Ted Lasso too much? I mean, how do we define too much? And really, how do we define love? Or even Ted Lasso? He makes us feel good. He makes us better men. Don’t believe me? Watch season 2 episode 8. Seriously. Go watch it right now. 

Today, Mike and Rob question their existence without Matt as we talk about S2 E8 of Ted Lasso. There are some strong themes for men in this episode. How we handle pain. How we deal with difficult relationships. How we support each other. It’s got all the stuff. Basically, watch the show, listen to this episode, and become the man you’ve always wanted to be. I defy you not to. 

As a side note, I’m not sure how grammatically kosher that last sentence was, but there it is. Love us anyway.

All the single ladies, all the single ladies. So put your hands up. Are those the lyrics? I was never a big beyonce fan. But don't tell her. I hear she has a very fragile ego. 

If you're still reading, today's episode is another one explaining why men do stuff. Why they golf? Why they blow stuff up? Mostly, Rob wonders why dudes do this sort of stuff. It's more beautiful than you might think. So give a listen. 

But really, give a youtube and watch us. I've been working out and it shows.

Seriously? I'm right all the time anyway. She should just admit, you are always right. I can see you thought this through and whatever conclusion you've come to deserves my admiration and respect. 

Spacemen, just read that paragraph above to your wife. Problem sol...what? It didn't work? Huh. That's weird. I thought this through. Why won't you just agree with me? 

On today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob discuss why we sometimes have a hard time when people disagree with us. Often we might feel threatened or like none of our thoughts or opinions matter if this one doesn't. Luckily, Matt and Mike lay down some truth that will fix ALL your problems. Even that one you've been having with your water softener. 

Everything will come true, except forget that last part. And enjoy the episode. And GO WATCH US ON YOUTUBE!!!! Matt's so attractive.

Yes, this episode is just as riveting as the title implies. Actually, if you're really into personality tests and knowing which Hogwarts house you belong to, this episode is for you. Matt, Mike, and Rob share their results from a few different personality and relational assessments. In a shocking turn of events, Rob doesn't like standardized assessments. Honestly, at this point, I'm a little surprised that guy hasn't sold his house and moved to the woods to live off grid. But, if you can stick with it, you'll find out what we CAN take from these types of assessments and how they can help you be a better man. 

If you want to try these assessments yourself, we got links for days...as long as those days aren't longer than 3 links. Try 'em out and see how you fare!

I was going to call this "How to win friends and influence people," but I bet that's already the title of something. On today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob break down how to influence the people in your life to shape behaviors and outcomes. Spoiler alert: you should manipulate. Kidding. Don't do that. Even though it says MAN in it, don't do it. You should, however, use love. Cause that's what men do. And luckily, The Manspace is here to help you do that. Listen in. 

And WATCH in. Watch on? ...watch with? I don't know, but I do know this--we're on youtube as of this week. So get over there and watch our faces. It'll blow your mind how much Mike and Rob look alike and how both look FAR less attractive than Matt.
