Welcome to a series of videos that will introduce you to a simple model of men’s psychology that draws on some of the growing body of research on men.
There’s more than meets the eye with men, just as there is with women. Men are driven at the core by instincts the same as women—masculine instincts.
However, just like women, they have emotions of very similar types and style. The expression is different because emoting is in some part, governed by the instincts.
Finally, the intellect and mature executive functions are also just like those of women (we have identical IQ potential - and “EQ” potential.) Yet the masculine instincts also influence that, and our communication and behavior.
This synthesis of the old and new, the rigorous and the elegant, and most important of all, an attempt at “unification of the psychologies” is the aim of Masculine Psychology, as we start to discuss in this first video.
It’s Masculine Psychology (originally, MMP), which is available in videos delivered one day at a time, for the full 5+ hours of the course (available to paid subscribers only)…

SHOW NOTES:
In this excerpt, Dr Paul discusses the complex relationship between masculinity and attraction to women, emphasizing a cyclical and interconnected nature of these concepts. Here’s a summary of the main points:
1. **Masculinity and Attraction as a Loop**: The speaker describes attraction to women as a behavior rooted in masculinity, suggesting that being masculine is necessary to attract women, creating a cycle. He questions where this cycle begins and how one can progress within it.
2. **Exploration of Masculine Behavior**: He expresses a personal preference for exploring different aspects of masculinity and attraction, likening it to trying new experiences and engaging with various environments. The focus is on understanding the relationships between masculine traits and behaviors rather than worrying about a specific starting point.
3. **Women’s Cyclical Understanding**: The speaker notes that women seem to instinctively grasp the cyclical nature of life and relationships, suggesting that the progression through masculinity and attraction doesn't require a strict sequence.
4. **Passion and Attractiveness**: He asserts that being more passionate and masculine enhances both a man's attractiveness and his ability to attract women.
5. **Practical Application in Relationships**: The speaker offers practical advice for men regarding relationship dynamics. He highlights how to respond when a partner expresses concerns about intimacy, recommending that men reflect on their feelings and any insecurities, drawing parallels between male and female experiences of insecurity.
6. **Feeling Equivalents**: He notes that both men and women have similar feelings of insecurity related to their respective domains—women with their bodies and men with their careers. He uses the analogy that a woman's concern about her appearance equates to a man's concern about how he is perceived professionally.
7. **Illogical Nature of Insecurity**: Finally, he acknowledges that while these feelings can seem illogical, they stem from deep-seated emotional responses that may not always follow rational thought.
Overall, Dr Paul stresses the importance of understanding the nuanced interplay between masculinity, attraction, and emotional needs in relationships while providing relatability between male and female experiences.
