It’s a jungle out there. No, seriously. It doesn’t take a lot of googling to discover that the modern dating and relationship scene is hard. On everyone. 

So we’re going to dig into some of stats, research, and things I’ve been hearing directly from men about what they’re experiencing, what they’re seeing, and why things don’t look too good right now. We’ll also have a few ways you can “safeguard” yourself against the murky waters of modern dating.

I’ve seen it happen too often. Men get this idea that they shouldn’t have (or express) any needs. Then they lose sight of those needs and they and their partner are left guessing, reactive, and confused. This is a particular problem for Nice Guys.

This has got to be the soonest I’ve had a guest return for a “part 2” conversation. Tim is an expert at connecting people their purpose, something he considers soul-based. Our last conversation was powerful, but I felt we’d just scratched the surface. So dig in with us here on why so many men feel purposeless, the role nature plays in that, how technology alters how we connect, and much, much more.

Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified Nature-Based Purpose Guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue. Tim also serves as co-Director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005 dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking. 

Tim is a leader of men’s groups and holistic rites of passage for males, guiding and initiating men and boys into the new paradigm of the mature masculine. Since 1999, Tim has dedicated his life towards consciously furthering this vision of living in balance with the Earth, community, family, self, spirit, and soul. Healing the cultural rift between the mainstream and indigenous cultures, transformational consciousness work, the spiritual journey, ancestral work, deep nature connection, family and holistic health are all deep commitments in his life. Tim is a heart-centered father of two brilliant boys and husband to a magnificent wife and lives in pristine Sandpoint, Idaho.

I’ve been in this game a long while now, and this is one of the biggest things men come to me for. They can be incredibly successful in so many aspects of life, but they’re still struggling with fulfilling relationships. Well, here’s some insight as to why that is, based on my own personal experience and the stories of many, many men I’ve worked with.

Keeping it simple and straightforward this week. So many of us feel like terrible communicators, but the truth is we’re not—it’s just that we’re not grounding and regulating ourselves before (and during) that hard conversation.

Getting clear on where you’d like a relationship to go isn’t always easy, and I think a lot of us men simply weren’t given any skills on how to do this. This is what I’ve learned and what’s been incredibly effective for me, and if there’s anything you think I missed, feel free to DM me @mantalks on Instagram!

Seriously, it’s always a pleasure to speak with Rainier, whose passionate wonder never fails to fire me up. Rainier and I get into some fuller questions in here, ones that we’ll definitely be revisiting soon. Listen in for thoughts on how to practice self-acceptance, what these times are asking of us (and men, specifically), the psyche’s earliest and most potent defense mechanism, and more.

Leadership in the context of your relationship is a tricky subject, but it’s something I’m asked about daily by both men and women. So naturally, I’ve dedicated a lot of time lately to the subject.

When it comes to questions like “why won’t she let me take the lead”, there are all sorts of reasons—and all sorts of responses. I share some of those here, including responses to my own content that have surprised me.

What would you add to this? Anything I miss? DM me @mantalks on Instagram.

(Apologies in advance, something was up with the audio for this one) Now and then, I put out the call and feature a session with someone I’ve never worked with before. This work took place over the course of an hour or so, and we’ve shorted it here for easier listening.

My guest today is someone who grew up in a hostile environment, and his end result as an adult was a feeling of numbness and a hard time recognizing the emotions he felt. We work to identify and give voice to what he’s feeling, particularly his anger and sadness.

I’ve wrestled with numbness too, and I’m sure there are a lot of guys out there in similar situations. So listen in and don’t forget to share with someone you feel might benefit from this kind of work.
