In this week’s episode, we answer “what are men really thinking about?” when women ask us.

Is it something serious? Is it something banal? Is it exactly what women think it is?

Yes.

We run through the gamut on everything that’s going through men’s minds when we stare off into the distance with a blank look on our faces.

The psychology behind this one interests us because there have been theories about this one for years and most of society seems to think it’s sex. Sure it is. And for much of the rest of society it is too.

When we ask how someone’s REALLY doing, do we REALLY want to know? Or do we just want to make sure that “we’re good”. Discussion of what “we’re good” means ensues and...what exactly would happen if society laid out what was really happening in their minds during business meetings, quick exchanges on the streets or family dinners.

Are you thinking about divorce? Did someone tell you about their child being abused? What other burdens are you bearing day to day that could be lifted just by being honest? We discuss whether we believe conversation partners should have to bear that burden in the first place.

Would we all be better or worse off for it? How would our mental health look if we all became more transparent with one another about how we were really doing and what we were really thinking about at any given point in time.

Would we look at each other differently if we picked our spots to drop the masks and discussed the things we’re actually thinking when people ask, “everything ok?”
