WHAT'S INSIDE: Here's proof of why you need solid relationship
management skills. If you don't, something crazy like what's described below is
likely to happen.

MEN'S SEX LIVES HAVE BECOME THE RUNNING JOKE OF THE 21st CENTURY.
Sexual frustration among men is at an all time high.
More of us than ever before believe that if we even HAVE sexual interest in a woman,
let alone demonstrate it, we're some sort of "predator".
That leads to countless men with NO women in their lives--apart from the ones they
tantalize themselves with on the computer screen, of course.
As if that alone wasn't bad enough, it's as if we're constantly bombarded by jokes
on television commercials and in sitcoms about men who strike out with women.
That just rubs salt in the wound.
At this point it's gotten SO bad that one of the fastest growing movements on the
Internet is called "Men Going Their Own Way" (#MGTOW).
It's a HUGE thing. Guys are banding together and deciding they don't need women
anymore and that they'll just live without them.
In other words, because women seem so fed up with men, guys are going to be fed up
with THEM as well.
But here's the crazy part.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of women really don't have an axe to grind with men.
They're just wondering where we all ARE.
While the #MGTOW crowd is convinced that women only use sex as a trap, at best,
most women are wandering the planet even MORE sexually frustrated than WE are.
Think I must be joking? Guess again.
Women are lighting up the cash register at Amazon buying literotica books.
They're also fueling a multi-billion dollar "toy" industry. (Ever hear of "Slumber Parties"
or "Pure Romance"?)
The raw truth is that women CRAVE sex.
But the most twisted part of all is that they can't straight-up TELL us that because they fear
being shamed as a slut.
Once again, society has dealt us all a raw deal.
So it's up to us as REAL men to FIX what's BROKEN.
There are red-blooded, real WOMEN out there who are depending on us to be their heroes.
They anxiously await the moment when we boldly give them the dominant, masculine MAN they
desire...and the sheet-ripping relationship with us that they are BURNING for.

LETTER FROM A WOMAN
I received a letter recently from a woman that's so poignant it all but demands discussion:
Hello Scot,
Thank you for all the help and information in your regular e-mails over the past couple months.
They have been really helpful in helping me understand guys.
Here is my question today:
A little background first. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 1 year and 9 months.
Anyway, in April of this year he brought up the subject of moving in together--in fact, he brought up
the idea of us buying a house together.
For about 2 months that was what we were planning on doing until he told me (out of nowhere) that he
didn't think we should move in together anymore.
He came up with lots of excuses, like he wasn't sure if he morally believes in it, his family wouldn't
like it (they are very religious), he thought it would put too much negative stress on our relationship,
and he didn't think it was the right time to do that.
What are your thoughts on this situation?
When he told me he had changed his mind I was devastated and I think I lost a lot of trust in him.
Also, I think I am still angry and distrusting of him now as I find myself getting angry at him very
easily now for things I never would have before.
I also find myself kind of uneasy around him now as I worry what he will tell me next, almost like I am
expecting him to disappoint me at every turn.
I don't like feeling like this and I don't like feeling angry at him. Also, he doesn't even realize that
this is how I feel. What should I do?
Anyway, something else that is bothering me is that my boyfriend has never really brought up the idea of
marriage or kids.
We have almost been dating for 2 years and I don't really know if he wants marriage and kids in his life
one day. I assume he does since he comes from a religious family that considers marriage important.
He has never specifically said that he wants to get married. Also I guess what I want to hear from him is
that marriage and kids are something he wants and that he can see those things happening with me.
How do I bring this up with him without freaking him out?
Also, do you think it's a good idea to bring this stuff up at this point in our relationship? If he doesn't
want these things I want to know now so that I don't waste my time on a relationship where we don't have the
same long-term goals.
Thank you very much for all your help. Sorry this is so long but I wanted to put lots of detail into it.
Jennifer (Davenport, IA)
=====
Most of you out there, I'm sure, are already throwing soda cans and rotten veggies at your computer monitors.
Yeah, I know...there's an obvious issue here. I answered Jennifer offline and shared with her what she needed
to know.
My reason for sharing her e-mail with you, however, transcends the objective answers I gave her.
So rest assured that I'll spare you the gory details about how these two have a profound communication problem.
And yes...it's perfectly reasonable to suspect whether or not he's even interested in marrying her someday.
But instead of all that, I invite you to ponder with me the much more significant issue at play here:
"How on Earth do two people date for almost two friggin' years and not ever have such major matters of mutual
compatibility even come up?"
I mean, that's practically unthinkable.
Yet, the answer struck me almost immediately upon reading the email and has haunted me since.
The truth is that it's so blasted easy to get into a situation like Jennifer's that it's no wonder at all,
really, that this sort of thing goes on all the time.
Maybe even in your life.
So how DID those two manage to avoid major questions of basic worldview and compatibility for THAT LONG?
And more importantly, what 20/20 hindsight is there that could have prevented this?
Well, in my mind it's easy to discern that Jennifer's boyfriend has "failed to deploy" in a crucial but
all-too-often overlooked area: relationship management.
And it's not that he's a bad guy. The issue is that he prepared himself with an excellent strategy for his
first couple dates or so with Jennifer. BUT...he sort of never adjusted those strategies as the relationship
progressed.
That's not a good plan.
I think we've all heard about the guy who tends to sabotage his first conversations with women by talking
about "heavy" stuff like politics, religion, etc.
Heck, some of us have actually BEEN that guy.
And just like I'd say to the woman who stereotypically asks about marriage and having kids on the first date,
you absolutely want to avoid "long term" or "loaded" discussions for the first couple of dates.
Keeping things light as two people are just getting to know one another helps build comfort and keeps people
from creeping each other out.
Fair enough.
But here's the danger there. A couple who starts a relationship will very quickly form habits together
that will likely last as long as the relationship itself does.
By as soon as a couple of weeks in, the couple could already have a pattern of thought and/or behavior in
place that is set to repeat itself indefinitely.
And if that pattern is not dealt with and adjusted if need be at that time, at around the six-month mark those
habits are all but indelibly stamped on the relationship.
For example, if you and your new friend go back to the apartment to "chill and watch movies" for two or three
dates in a row early on you may find yourself doing only that all the time. You'll be in a rut, and the
relationship will get boring.
Pretty deep stuff, isn't this?
But hang in there with me. What comes next could be potentially life-altering insight for many of you.
Notice that Jennifer is utterly nonplussed (like we are) as to how SO MANY incredibly important things NEVER
got talked about.
And nowadays, she is wondering if it's "okay" to even address the important subjects with her boyfriend
without "freaking him out".
She has been ready and willing to hit the hard questions all along, but her boyfriend has FAILED TO LEAD in
that area.
Ever since the first few dates--back when it was a GOOD IDEA to set the topics of long-term importance on the
back burner--he has not modified the flow of the conversation in the relationship.
Two dates turned into three dates...and into six dates...then into six months.
So the important ideas NEVER got talked about. For whatever reason, Jennifer's boyfriend preferred to keep
his head in the sand regarding the major compatibility questions rather than open the conversation.
And that turned out to be the mold that the cement that formed the relationship was ultimately poured into.
Nowadays they're indeed in a "rut" there. Basically, the precedent has been set.
Is it that he's insecure about losing her? Perhaps...after all he originally went against his basic moral
code regarding moving in together before reversing himself.
But even this reversal was handled with a lack of communication, wasn't it?
Meanwhile, Jennifer is offering a breathtaking demonstration of exactly how important it is to a woman for a
man to show leadership skill.
Could she have chimed in on this stuff a lot earlier? Sure.
But what she wants is a MAN. A MAN who can lead. A MAN who can make decisions and give her a secure feeling
in his presence.
His lack of leadership in managing the relationship has morphed into what appears to be utter lack of courage
in dealing with important questions that will define the viability of the entire relationship.
And nearly two years into this thing, he is showing no signs of getting out of that "rut".
Still at Square One, basically, Jennifer is left to finally stand up and say "enough is enough", as long as
it's, uh... "okay" (???) to do so.
Relationship management skill is all-important. And the time to consider what all is entailed is BEFORE you
meet someone you want to share a significant amount of your life with.
You've GOT to be the quarterback of the relationship, or else you'll end up being a bench warmer.
You've not only got to know how to choose high quality women, you've got to know how to be the MAN who
understands how to lead in a relationship once you've chosen her.
Understanding the secret language of women. Not falling into traps. Handling conflict. Knowing what to do when
crises inevitably happen.
Getting all of those situations right is mission critical, as is simply knowing how to lead the way to
long-term happiness and fulfillment together.
Don't let things "just happen" and end up in a highly disappointing and potentially time-wasting scenario like
Jennifer and her boyfriend.
Life is WAY too short for that, wouldn't you agree?
