• Episode 619: Timing (why people get married)
    May 4 2026

    How much of dating really comes down to timing? In this episode, I argue that being in the right place at the right time matters a lot more than finding the right person. Using the metaphor of musical chairs, I reveal why people get married – and it's more often to do with readiness, not romance. If you're serious about settling down, this will change how you think about strategy, opportunity, and choice.

  • Episode 618: Men have a culture (it needs to be preserved)
    May 1 2026

    Men have a culture – a shared system of values like honor, discipline, and duty – that could disappear in just a few generations if it is not consciously transmitted. Drawing on the lived experience of losing my ancestral identity, I argue that masculinity functions as a living tradition rather than merely a biological fact. Modern social forces are accelerating the erosion of masculine norms, potentially leaving billions disconnected from their heritage. If masculinity is a culture, it needs to be preserved.

  • Episode 617: I don't need a man (how women use men)
    Apr 27 2026

    What do women really mean when they say, “I don't need a man”? The answer reveals how women use men – a reality that is (quite literally) hidden in plain sight. The truth is that both men and women objectify each other – albeit in different ways. However, it is generally in everyone's best interest to accept reality and operate in the sexual marketplace with their eyes open, as this isn't going to change any time soon.

  • Episode 616: She'll wait (why she won't forget about you)
    Apr 24 2026

    Worried she'll lose interest if you're not available to her? In today's episode, I explain why she'll wait when attraction and emotional investment are high. The truth is that your absence might do more to inflame her emotions than your presence ever could. Appreciating the underlying emotional dynamics will help you understand why she won't forget about you – and why insecurity can sabotage your relationship.

  • Episode 615: Disagreeable women (the duty to follow)
    Apr 20 2026

    What happens when strong personalities clash with relationship roles? In this episode, I discuss disagreeable women and why that trait can be an asset in leaders – but a liability in followers. It's for each person to look inside him- or herself and determine whether he or she has the potential for leadership. Those who can't (or won't) lead have the duty to follow.

  • Episode 614: Use the city (get in, get out)
    Apr 17 2026

    Thinking of moving to the big city? In this episode, I explain why it is essential that you use the city strategically – otherwise, it will end up using you. In today's world, cities are best treated as temporary launchpads for opportunity – places to build income or meet a partner. However, once you've secured those advantages, the smart move is to look for the door. Get in, get out. When it comes to real quality of life, smaller cities are the future.

  • Episode 613: Give him the money (women don't share)
    Apr 13 2026

    A striking new study corroborates my economic model of relationships. Apparently, when men earn more money, they are more likely to start a family – whereas women are significantly less likely to do so when given the same advantage. The data suggest that women don't share in the same way men do. If we want to fix declining birth rates and prevent population collapse, it will become increasingly important to give him the money.

  • Episode 612: Make your own mistakes (you have a right to your pain)
    Apr 10 2026

    In a world full of advice, you still need to make your own mistakes. Real wisdom doesn't come from influencers or books – it comes from the lessons of lived experience. Through the lens of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, I demonstrate why the journey is necessary to discover what was always within reach. When life's lessons hurt, remember: you have a right to your pain – it's the price of genuine understanding.
