This episode I will be making a major critique on my original episodes from season 2. The episodes referenced today will be, How Fast Can You Progress and Evolution Never Ends. I warn you now, that this will be a strong critique not only of the soft stance I took in the original episodes but also of partners in general.

For the women listening to this episode, know that I will be asking for a lot of responsibility from you. This is not to say the responsibility for your relationship is yours alone but I will be calling for women to look at themselves and possible how they have allowed the progress of their relationship to so greatly stagnate to the point of their current emotional distress. I hope by the end of this episode you will see possibly where issues started, not only in your relationship but also within yourself.

For that we will be looking at the episodes Male and Female Role Models, Chivalry, and Dating #1, #2, #3.
