For over 36 years, his work in sculpture has been a direct exploration of presence, truth, and what it means to live a well-formed life.

Many men believe trust is something they automatically deserve for being "a good guy" — but trust is not built through intention, morality, or loyalty alone. In this episode, David breaks down why so many men hear "I don't trust you" from women despite never cheating, lying, or doing anything obviously wrong — and explains how trust is quietly eroded through unconscious behaviors most men don't even realize they're doing. Rather than focusing on extreme betrayals, this conversation exposes the subtle, everyday ways men rupture trust: emotional dismissal, inconsistency, withdrawal under pressure, people-pleasing, defensiveness, and avoiding repair. These patterns create emotional unsafety — and over time, women stop opening, stop sharing, and stop trusting. If you've ever been told you're emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, hard to rely on, or that something "just feels off" in your relationships — this episode offers a clear, responsibility-based framework for understanding what actually builds trust, safety, and attraction.

Why does an absent or emotionally unavailable father affect your relationships as a man? In this episode, David breaks down how growing up without consistent masculine presence shapes attachment, emotional regulation, and intimacy in adult relationships. You'll learn how father absence leads to avoidance, hyper-independence, emotional shutdown, performance-based self-worth, and repeated dating patterns—including choosing emotionally unavailable partners and sabotaging healthy connection. This episode goes beyond psychology and dating advice. It's about responsibility, nervous system healing, masculine leadership, and doing the deep relational work required to create secure, grounded, and fulfilling relationships.     Key Topics Covered: ⭐ The real impact of an absent or emotionally unavailable father ⭐ How father wounds shape attachment styles in men ⭐ Avoidant attachment, fear of intimacy, and emotional shutdown ⭐ Hyper-independence and distrust in relationships ⭐ Performance, success, and "never feeling good enough" ⭐ Shame cycles, conflict avoidance, and lack of repair ⭐ Why men choose unavailable partners ⭐ Repeating your father's patterns unconsciously ⭐ Difficulty receiving love and reassurance ⭐ Healing father wounds through relationship ⭐ Inner child work and masculine reparenting ⭐ Nervous system regulation and emotional capacity ⭐ Learning repair, leadership, and secure intimacy   ➡️ Join the Waitlist "Relate" https://forms.gle/2AXhmyNweasETaso7  Connect With David – The Authentic Man: Instagram: / theauthenticman_ Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/ For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    

Many men believe their dating struggles are caused by women's standards — but that belief is often the very thing keeping them stuck. In this episode, David challenges the growing trend of men blaming women for their lack of dates, relationships, intimacy, or sex — and explains why blame feels empowering while actually making men more bitter, disconnected, and unattractive. Rather than reinforcing red-pill narratives or internet outrage, this conversation cuts through the noise to reveal what's really happening underneath: shame, emotional avoidance, lack of self-awareness, and undeveloped emotional leadership. If you feel frustrated with dating, resentful toward women, stuck in cycles of rejection, or tempted to give up entirely, this episode offers a grounded, responsibility-based perspective on what actually creates attraction, connection, and healthy relationships.

Why do you keep feeling drawn to women who can't meet you emotionally, while overlooking those who actually want you? In this episode, David breaks down the unconscious drivers of attraction, attachment patterns, and nervous system conditioning that shape who we desire. You'll learn why attraction is not a conscious choice, how childhood attachment wiring influences adult dating, and what it actually takes to rewire attraction toward healthy, secure relationships. This is not surface-level dating advice. It's deep work on responsibility, self-awareness, and emotional maturity for men who want real connection.   Key Topics:  ⭐ Why attraction is unconscious, not a logical choice ⭐ The limbic system and emotional pattern recognition ⭐ How childhood attachment shapes adult relationships ⭐ Why emotionally unavailable partners feel intoxicating ⭐ Intermittent reinforcement and dating addiction ⭐ Anxious vs avoidant attachment dynamics ⭐ Why secure partners often feel "boring" at first ⭐ Projection and falling in love with fantasy ⭐ How confirmation bias keeps you stuck in dating loops ⭐ Why insight alone doesn't change attraction ⭐ Nervous system regulation and rewiring attraction ⭐ Reframing chemistry as a signal, not truth ⭐ Building attraction toward safety, stability, and intimacy   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe     

Many men assume their struggle with sex is about low libido — but often, it's something deeper. In this episode, David breaks down Sexual Intimacy Resistance in Men: why desire fades even when love is still there, and how intimacy itself can start to feel threatening on a nervous-system level. Rather than blaming attraction, hormones, or performance, this conversation reveals what's really happening beneath the surface — and why fixing libido misses the point. If you're experiencing emotional distance, reduced initiation, numbness during sex, or a growing wall between you and your partner, this episode offers clarity on the unseen patterns blocking intimacy — and what actually helps restore closeness and desire. Topics Covered What sexual intimacy resistance really is (and isn't) Why it's different from low libido or fear of intimacy How the nervous system blocks arousal and closeness Common patterns in avoidant and high-functioning men How resentment, pressure, and shame kill desire Why intimacy must be treated as a closeness issue — not a performance problem

Why do so many men feel uncomfortable, guarded, or disconnected around other men — even while craving deeper connection? Why does loneliness persist despite friendships, success, or relationships? In this episode, David explores why male community feels unsafe for so many men and how early experiences of bullying, banter, competition, and the "man box" shape how men relate to each other. He breaks down why men avoid vulnerability with other men — and the hidden cost this has on confidence, emotional health, and relationships. You'll learn how healthy male community reduces shame, loneliness, and isolation, builds emotional regulation and accountability, and creates the safety men need to grow. This episode offers a grounded reframe of masculinity — not through toughness or performance, but through belonging, honesty, and shared growth.   Key Topics:  ⭐ The "Man Box": Understanding the Rigid Rules of Masculinity ⭐ Why Men Feel Unsafe or Ostracized in Male Spaces ⭐ The Trauma of Bullying and "Banter" Culture ⭐ Why Men Struggle to Be Vulnerable With Friends ⭐ Ancient Wisdom: Lessons from Tribal Campfires in Ethiopia ⭐ The Epidemic of Male Loneliness and Its Physical Impact ⭐ Why Women Often Have Better Support Systems Than Men ⭐ The "Sexual Intimacy Resistance" Men Rarely Talk About ⭐ How Community Reduces Shame and the Feeling of Being "Broken" ⭐ Using Your Partner as a Therapist: Why Men Need Outside Feedback ⭐ The Power of Accountability in Achieving Business and Personal Goals ⭐ Facing the Shadow: Why Growth Requires More Than "Munching Crisps"   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe     

From emotional shutdown and avoidance to letting fear quietly run the relationship — this episode breaks down why so many men struggle to lead in love, intimacy, and connection without even realizing it. Instead of blaming your partner, circumstances, or "just not being wired that way," David reveals the deeper truth:

Why do the same relationship struggles keep showing up — passivity, fear of speaking up, emotional shutdown, or attraction to unavailable partners? In this episode, David breaks down how the father wound quietly shapes a man's confidence, emotional capacity, and behavior in relationships. From absent or critical fathers to passive or volatile ones, each imprint leaves a lasting mark on how men lead, love, and handle conflict. You'll learn how unmet needs from childhood create patterns like people-pleasing, fear of criticism, emotional avoidance, and difficulty committing — and why healing this wound isn't about blaming your father, but about reclaiming your inner authority. This episode offers a grounded framework for understanding your patterns, separating the human father from the wound, and beginning the process of fathering yourself with strength, clarity, and compassion.   Key Topics: ⭐ Why Men Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns ⭐ The Father As a Man's First Blueprint ⭐ Understanding the Father Wound and Where It Comes From ⭐ The Ghost Father and the Pain of Emotional Absence ⭐ The Critical Father and the Birth of the Inner Critic ⭐ The Passive Father and the Loss of Direction ⭐ The Dominant Father and a Man's Relationship With Fear and Anger ⭐ "I'm Not Good Enough": The Core Belief Shaping Men's Lives ⭐ Emotional Shutdown and the Struggle to Express Feelings ⭐ How Father Wounds Quietly Sabotage Relationships ⭐ Why Men Seek Validation in Romantic Partners ⭐ Healing the Father Wound by Learning to Father Yourself   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe   

From chasing unavailable women to mistaking emotional distance for chemistry — this episode breaks down why so many men repeatedly find themselves drawn to partners who can't fully meet them. Instead of blaming bad luck or emotionally unavailable women, David reveals the real issue:

From attaching too quickly and over-sharing on early dates… to mistaking uncertainty for rejection — this solo episode breaks down the hidden ways anxiously attached men sabotage emotional intimacy in dating, often without realizing it. Instead of blaming emotionally unavailable women, bad luck, or thinking you're "too much," David reveals the real issue:

If you've ever felt like you're not "man enough," questioned whether you're measuring up, or silently compared yourself to other men — this episode will hit home. David breaks down why so many men feel they're failing at their own definition of masculinity, how the "man box" silently shapes your self-worth, and why tying your value to providing, strength, or achievement leaves you anxious, disconnected, and stuck in a loop of never feeling enough. Drawing from 15 years of coaching and his personal journey from performance-driven masculinity to grounded, embodied confidence, David reveals the hidden wounds and outdated beliefs driving today's masculinity crisis. Most importantly, he lays out a clear, practical roadmap for shifting from performance masculinity to embodied masculinity — so you can build presence, emotional range, purpose, and deep relational leadership without losing your edge. Whether you're single, dating, or deep into a partnership, this episode is your guide to redefining masculinity on your own terms — and finally stepping into a version of manhood that strengthens your mental health, your relationships, and your life.

In this week's episode, I dive into one of the most common but frustrating dating patterns men struggle with—the urge to pull away the moment things start to feel emotionally close. If you've ever wondered why your desire drops off as soon as connection deepens, this conversation will hit home. I break down why this reflex to distance isn't about “not being into her”—it's about you, your attachment system, and old programming that makes intimacy feel unsafe. From post-sex distancing to overthinking, devaluing relationships, and suppressing emotions, I uncover how this cycle keeps you stuck in regret and longing. Most importantly, I share a powerful three-step framework—Activation, Awareness, Transformation—that will help you identify your triggers, lean in instead of pulling back, and repair the connection when you withdraw. You'll learn practical tools like titrating closeness, disclosing emotions, and expressing yourself with honesty so you can finally break free of avoidance and build the relationships you want. If you've been frustrated by repeating the same dating loop, this episode gives you the clarity and practices to start changing it. Plus, I talk about my program—Breaking the Chains of Avoidance—a transformational 12-week journey designed to help avoidant men move into secure attachment, create real intimacy, and lead their relationships with confidence.

In this week's mini-episode, I go on a bit of a rant—because some of the dating advice out there is downright terrible. From “don't chase women” to “you'll just know when it's the one,” I break down why so much of the advice circulating online is oversimplified, lacks nuance, and actually keeps people stuck. I dissect popular phrases like “be yourself,” “don't ever settle,” and “if they wanted to, they would”—and show you why they're misleading or even harmful when taken at face value. If you've been confused by modern dating advice or find yourself not getting the results you want, this episode brings the clarity and depth you need.
