I believe men face a tremendous amount of pressure and this is why they are confused. Most of all, men don’t fully grasp what it means to be masculine.

Being masculine doesn’t mean dominating nor does it mean controlling. Some men have gone the other way completely and they’re not leading at all. They’re not showing any masculinity at all, because they’re worried that they’re going to offend women. 

What’s happening now is that it’s diminishing the attraction between the genders because women actually want them to lead. Women want men to dominate. Women just don’t want men to dominate them in an unhealthy way. 

Ron understands that it is difficult to be a man as a man has less intrinsic value in society than children and women. Men have to create value within themselves by making something out of themselves. On the other hand, men in the past were very tough but they were not emotionally expressive.

Today it is almost the opposite, we’re seeing a lot of men who are very in tune with their emotional side however they have lost their toughness.

How do you blend the emotional side and toughness? How do you remain mentally tough, but still be emotionally expressive and emotionally sensitive at the same time? This is very challenging because you can be very mentally tough and be completely switched off emotionally, and not be connected with your emotions or other people’s emotions. 

The answer is not to give up the toughness, which is what a lot of men think is the answer. A lot of men think that becoming more extremely feminine is the answer. But the reality is, the moment a man becomes feminine then the attraction and chemistry between male and female is lost because the whole reason why men and women come together is because of the opposite nature and polarity between masculine and feminine.

Men and women are equal, but they’re different. Equal doesn’t mean the same. Equal means equal in rights. But men and women are not the same – they offer different value and qualities in ways that the other gender cannot.

This is a slightly controversial part. But Ron says, never take relationship advice from a woman. I strongly believe that there are some things men can only learn from men, that they cannot learn from women. They have to only learn from men, and that’s why community is important. Men being around men who have conquered certain challenges, faced different challenges, made something out of themselves and maintained a level of maturity and character or men – other men need to be around this so that they can grow too.

What are men getting wrong? Why is it so many men are having relationship crisis, career crisis, financial crisis, health crisis? They don’t have the tools to be able to overcome those things.
