Ambiguous feelings for attraction
So I listened to the book and a ton of videos. I have had an 11 yr marriage young with 2 kids and 2 serious relationships for 6 months since. I am 35.
I appreciate coach wayne. And overall, I think his extreme policies and takes in some ways helped balance me from being too emotional at times. The thing that I feel is lacking in the development in the philosophy is the lack of a daughter to understand better. My actions with a woman I want to reflect the actions I would like a man to treat my daughter with. That is a backbone principle. Would I want a man to not express his emotions directly? No, I think it provides safety to validate.
It’s the simp vs non simp philosophy at its core. A healthy balance is required I feel.
I agree for the overall maintaining self respect and masculine energy. But I also feel like this rigid approach about not telling a girl how you feel (not in an extreme way) it might be akin to a homophobe not comfortable in his masculinity. So they can’t display any behavior that can be interpreted as gay.
