Quotes
-
Men who are denied appropriate physical affection with other males while growing up, become people who never mature. In fact many men who are so denied will strongly deny their need for manly affection. You can see these men at any football game or boxing match. They seem to thrive on the violent aspects of male contact, while distancing themselves from any form of intimacy.
When men are freely allowed to experience the love and support of other men, they begin to question competition in society. This engenders a willingness to engage in more service oriented projects and activities whose aim is to nurture and protect the planet. Herein lies the power of the new masculine soul. It all begins with an embrace.

There are hardly any people as emotionally dangerous as those who don't know themselves. Men who lack self-identity are at the mercy of other people's opinions of them. How they behave depends on how they like themselves to be seen.

80% of divorces are initiated by women. More and more men are in crisis, men who seem to have it all – a lucrative and challenging career, plenty of money and all the trappings that go with it. They pass muster at 'show and tell', but they're empty inside, and their partners know it. These men's relationships struggle because they are screwed up inside. IT'S TIME THEY DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

For the first time in history, women are insisting on real emotional intimacy in their marriages. And men are coming up short. The problem is simple: women's roles have radically changed while that of men has not. By raising girls to know more about and want more from relationships, we set up both sexes to fail.

How a man treats his woman tells you everything you need to know about how he feels about himself.

Men's job description has changed - and men are unprepared for the change. We don't raise, nor have we ever raised, boys and men to be intimate partners, but to be strong, competitive performers. The pressure to be hard, logical, independent and stoic all too often sets men up to be emotionally distant, arrogant, numb to their own feelings and unconcerned about everyone else's, as well as contemptuous of vulnerability and weakness.
