53% of American men are now dying before the age of 75—and that trend is getting worse.  Clinical psychologist Zac Seidler, Director of Men's Health Research at Movember, joins Offline to delve into how men misconstrue wellness in an increasingly digital world. Zac's work exposes how male influencers, podcasters, and cultural and political figures are shaping young men's views on masculinity, their relationships, and their overall health and wellbeing. But first! Jon opens up about teaching his own sons about strength and pride, and the myriad ways someone like George Retes is a better role model than the second most powerful elected official in the United States.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Modern masculinity is typically pigeonholed into one of two camps—it's either toxic (and therefore a danger to itself and others) or it's tame (passively making no difference in the world around it). Pastor and author, Joby Martin, stops by The Aggressive Life to unpack a third option—a biblical masculinity rooted in responsibility, sacrifice, and faith. In a hard-hitting, and often hilarious conversation, the two friends discuss cultural confusion about manhood, why fatherhood is essential, and what it takes to stand firm and act like a man. This is a raw and inspiring masterclass on what it takes to live courageously in a world gone soft. Watch this episode on YouTube here.

Masculinity and Identity in Irish Literature: Heroes, Lads, and Fathers (Routledge, 2024) addresses Irish identity in Irish literature, especially masculinity in some of its forms through an interdisciplinary methodology. The study of language performance through literary analysis and corpus studies will enable readers to approach literary texts from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, to take advantage of the texts' full potential as well as examining these same texts through the perspective of gender identity. This will be carried out through a specialised corpus composed of 18 novels written by twentieth- and twenty-first-century male Irish authors. Thus, the language and behaviour patterns of contemporary Irish masculinity can be found as part of these male characters' performance of identity. This book is primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate students who wish to introduce themselves in the study of gender and identity in an Irish context as well as researchers looking for interdisciplinary methodologies of study. What is more, it can present researchers with varied options of analysis that corpus studies have not yet touched upon so thoroughly such as masculinity and Irish literature. As a monograph meant to show analysts new fields of study in Irish literature, this book will sell to academic libraries and can be used in MA courses. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we break down why the popular phrase “happy wife, happy life” is silently destroying relationships — and eroding men's confidence in the process. What starts as good intentions often turns into self-abandonment: saying yes when you mean no, hiding your opinions, tolerating disrespect, and prioritizing her happiness at the cost of your own integrity. We explore how this people-pleasing dynamic kills attraction, creates resentment, and ultimately leads to emotional disconnection. You'll learn why your partner doesn't actually want a yes-man, how trying to fix her emotions backfires, and what it really means to be a confident, grounded man in a long-term relationship. If you're tired of walking on eggshells, constantly trying to keep the peace, or wondering why your relationship feels off — this conversation will help you take your power back.

On Episode 606 of Impact Boom, Melissa Abu-Gazaleh of Top Blokes Foundation discusses addressing Australia's youth mental health crisis by creating safe spaces for young men to build resilience, how mentoring in schools and workplaces reduces social risk factors, and why scaling patiently is critical for long-term systemic change.

In this insightful episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing reveals five hidden rules of attraction that could be silently sabotaging your success with women. Whether you're struggling to get attention, make a connection, or keep a woman interested, this episode breaks down practical, high-impact strategies you can start using immediately. Mark dives deep into subtle techniques like using eye contact to communicate desire, maintaining emotional strength to command respect, balancing gamey tactics with authenticity, leaving women on a high note, and mastering the power of downward inflection to assert authority.  Key Takeaways: - How to use eye contact, facial expressions, and body language to communicate attraction without words. - Why becoming emotionally weak or needy destroys attraction. - The power of following “gamey” techniques with real, authentic interactions to avoid being perceived as a player. - How to always leave women on a high note to increase desire and connection. - Why downward vocal inflection and authority in speech are critical for attraction.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro and preview [00:01:42] – How eye contact can seduce and dominate attention [00:04:47] – The power of acting distracted and distant [00:05:52] – ‘Assess' her to get in the power position [00:06:24] – Using facial expressions without words [00:07:54] – Perks Program overview [00:09:35] – The danger of becoming emotionally weak [00:13:35] – Balancing gamey behavior with authentic conversation [00:17:24] – Leaving women on a high note: why it matters [00:18:56] – Using downward inflection to communicate authority [00:21:37] – Episode wrap-up and coaching program invitation Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula   About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

This week on SASF—apparently our 200th episode (who knew?)—we're diving into the massive topic of justice and mercy? From revenge-soaked movie plots to the rise of the manosphere, we explore why so many men seek utter annihilation over their enemies, and what it looks like for Christians to fight with integrity.

For the podcast's 60th episode we are finally able to develop a lengthy and thorough discussion of The Passenger, McCarthy's penultimate novel from 2022.  I'm joined by two returning guests of the podcast: Dr. Lydia Cooper is a professor of American literature and director of the core curriculum at Seattle University. Her specializations include Native American literature, Western and southwestern literature, and gender studies, and of course Cormac McCarthy. Her most recent book is Cormac McCarthy: A Complexity Theory of Literature, published by Manchester University Press.  Other books includes Masculinities in Literature of the American West, and No More Heroes: Narrative Perspective and Morality in the Novels, those novels being the books of Cormac McCarthy.  Her work on McCarthy and on other modern and contemporary American and Native American writers has appeared in numerous academic journals such as Studies in the Novel, Studies in American Indian Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment . She is the Vice President of the McCarthy Society. Also returning is Dr. Brent Cline. He is an associate professor of English at Hillsdale College.  He earned his PhD at Western Michigan University, where his dissertation focused on representations of mental disability and the modern novel. He has published articles and chapters involving disability on Walker Percy, James Agee, and Daniel Keyes. His review of The Passenger/Stella Maris was published with The University Bookman. His article on The Mexican Revolution and All the Pretty Horses was published recently in the CMJ.Hawaii Travel & Vacation GuideDiscover Hawaii's Best local spots and travel tips!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showStarting in spring of 2023, the podcast began accepting minor sponsorship offers to offset the costs of the podcast. This may cause a mild disconnect in earlier podcasts where the host asks for patrons in lieu of sponsorships. But if we compare it to a very large and naked bald man in the middle of the desert who leads you to an extinct volcano to create gunpowder, it seems pretty minor...

Here's what you'll get in this one. Kevin and Sean press on the question “What is masculinity in 2025” and why the answer keeps changing. From aging mailers to modern medicine to how politics touches everything you do, they frame the conversation without wagging fingers. If you are tired of buzzwords and want straight talk, this sets the table. We pressure test today's masculine archetypes against work, family, health, and money. Think confidence versus control, security versus risk, and care versus performance. It is not a lecture. It is lived experience filtered through decades on the road and in boardrooms, gyms, rinks, and locker rooms. We also zoom out. Markets, gold fever, tariffs, and why “guaranteed” returns feel different when groceries climb. Creative control, royalties, and the corporate shell game show up as mirrors for how men measure value and status. The wrestling lens is a tool here. It keeps the theory honest. Culture check. GQ's stats on comfort, leadership, and stay at home fatherhood meet beard trimmers, GLP shots, TRT, and the quiet grind to stay useful. Sports habits, Florida Man vs Jersey Guy, and a pile of match stipulations add the fun. The live Q&A in the 11Soft Club pulls viewers into the ring. Bring a take. Expect a counter.

Unlocked Patreon episode. Support Ordinary Unhappiness on Patreon to get access to all the exclusive episodes. patreon.com/OrdinaryUnhappinessAbby, Patrick, and Dan discuss and apply Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection. It's an influential and powerful idea in its own right, but it also generates clarifying insights into our present cultural and political moment. To get there, the three first do some necessary ground-clearing on reading Kristeva's notoriously complex style, the broader status of language in French poststructuralist thought, and the etymology and connotations of “abjection” and the “abject” themselves. As they discuss, abjection does more than describe an object or a state of being – it also describes a set of experiences, a fundamentally embodied suite of affects, and, above all, an ongoing set of processes that simultaneously consolidate and threaten our most taken-for-granted ideas about subjectivity, the body, other people, and political life. From trans bathroom panics to misogyny to abortion to immigration to Alligator Alcatraz and beyond, the three show how the work of abjection runs through a panoply of reactionary programs; how the continual creation of abjected, “revolting” populations and the conjuring of feelings of revulsion against them works to subvert revolutionary possibilities; and how abject groups have sought to both name and resist their oppression and to reclaim and redeploy its terms.References include: Julia Kristeva, “Approaching Abjection” in Powers of HorrorNoëlle McAfee, Fear of Breakdown: Politics and PsychoanalysisRyan Thorneycroft, Reimagining Disablist and Ableist Violence as AbjectionEyo Awara.

In this episode of the Man Therapy Podcast, Dan and Kyle discuss various themes surrounding sports, masculinity, conflict, and the importance of community. They share personal anecdotes about coaching youth sports, the thrill of watching games, and the nature of aggression in men. The conversation delves into the evolution of human behavior, the role of religion in mental health, and the significance of maintaining connections with others. Ultimately, they emphasize the value of kindness and the need for supportive communities in navigating life's challenges. Takeaways Coaching youth sports brings joy and laughter. Watching college sports is thrilling due to players' passion. Hockey games are more exciting in person than on TV. Bar fights can escalate quickly and unpredictably. Avoiding fights is often a wise choice for personal safety. Teaching kids to handle conflict is crucial. Masculinity often involves navigating aggression and competition. Human behavior has evolved but still retains animalistic instincts. Religion can provide community and support for mental health. Building connections with others is essential for emotional well-being. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Co-Host Dr. D. Ivan "Doc" Young (mountaintoppodcast.com/ivan) We're all realize we're men biologically, but how are we at manifesting the masculinity within us? Yeah, on the surface it's a question that feels like it shouldn't have to be asked. But my guest, "Doc" Young is The Reality Check Doctor, and his practice as a behavioral neuroscientist often focuses on empowering men to be more self-aware in their masculinity. Right off the bat, Doc launches into the mindset of true masculinity versus merely being "macho". How did we get swindled into thinking that was what it's all about, anyway? He's got some ideas you've probably never considered before What's the real reason why there's really no female equivalent of "macho"? What's the real reason why under-evolved men don't attract women? If you're dating a "trophy woman", you may be making her feel NO differently than if you were still living at home with your mommy. Here's why... And what does Doc mean when he says a lot of men are looking for an external solution to an internal problem? What are the advantages of being a truly self-aware man, especially when it comes to developing traits that women are attracted to? How much of self-awareness comes from within as opposed to environmental factors around us? Next, discover why self-awareness isn't only about masculinity, it's about maturity. How do you become the respected patriarch of your entire family? How do our past experiences impact our current level of self-awareness, and how can we take back control? How is comparing ourselves to others the enemy of that? And finally, what does self-awareness have to do with your quality of live, and even your very longevity itself?

In the other corner is the argument that those celebrated as “real men” are toxic and damaging t o others. So, what does the Scripture encourage men to be? Join us as we discover what healthy masculinity looks like through Jesus' example!

In this high-impact episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing discusses one of the most powerful frame control reversals in existence: Agree & Amplify. If you've ever been “tested” by a woman—whether she questions your confidence, mocks your shirt, or throws out a cheeky “are you gay?”—this episode teaches you how to flip that energy and instantly regain control of the interaction. Mark explains why frame control is the single most important skill in seduction and reveals how to use Agree & Amplify to disarm her tests with humor, congruence, and masculine ease.    Key Takeaways: - Why frame control is the backbone of attraction and masculine energy. - How Agree & Amplify instantly flips her challenge back on her. - Examples of exactly what to say when a woman teases, tests, or questions you. - How mastering frame control turns you into a confident, unshakable man.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro and preview [00:02:49] – The definition of frame control [00:04:28] – Why Mark's wearing that stupid shirt [00:05:43] – Frame check examples [00:06:55] – Client story: “You look like you shit manliness” [00:10:32] – What Agree & Amplify looks like in practice [00:12:23] – You can use it on guys too!

In this episode of the Man on Fire podcast, David Mehler challenges high-achieving men to confront the pain they've been avoiding. He argues that what we're really running from isn't failure or success—it's suffering itself.The conversation reveals how pain management strategies like porn, food, alcohol and overwork keep us stuck and how turning toward discomfort can unlock freedom, purpose and even joy.David draws on a lesson from India, childhood wisdom and decades of working with men to illustrate why avoiding emotions prolongs them and why our deepest wounds often hide our greatest gifts.

Episode 216: The Sound of Protest in Morocco: Nass el Ghiwane and the Years of Lead (1970s-1990s) In her current project, Alessandra Ciucci is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at Columbia University in New York, posits that in order to understand the effectiveness of the songs of Nass el Ghiwane it is critical to examine their musicopoetic assemblage with its rich web of citations and intertextual references, and to acknowledge the force of the band's sound that Moroccans heard as “revolutionary” (thәuri) and with a “protest tone” (nәbra ḥtjajiya). She considers their songs as historical and emotional repositories of an era of profound transformation, as songs bearing witness to an era so marked by political violence and oppression that it came to be referred to as the “years of lead” and, at the same time, giving voice to collective hopes, dreams and aspirations. Ciucci is interested in the possibility that these songs offered in envisioning a different future in an oppressive reality and, just as importantly, the reasons for the musicians to choose the tools they used to capture the ears of a young generation. Alessandra Ciucci's research interests include: the music of Morocco, the Maghreb, the Mediterranean, sung poetry, popular music of the Arab World, music and migration and music and protest. Her first book, The Voice of the Rural: Music, Poetry and Masculinity among Migrant Moroccan Men in Umbria (Chicago University Press 2022), explores the significance and the endurance of a specific notion of the rural ('arubiya) among migrant Moroccan men in Italy. The Arabic translation of her writing on Moroccan professional female singer-dancers (shikhat) and on the musicopoetic genre ‘aiṭa, was published as a collection by the Edition La Croisée des Chemins in partnership with the Académie du Royaume du Maroc. She is currently at work on a new project tentatively titled Nass el Ghiwane: Popular Music and the Sound of Protest in Morocco (1970s-1990s), in which she delves into Nass el Ghiwane, the most influential group to forge a new musicopoetic language utilizing traditional Moroccan culture as a method of decolonization that also provided a sense of contemporary authenticity. Ciucci is the recipient of a number of grants and prizes, among which the Rome Prize in Modern Italian Studies (2018-19). This episode was recorded on July 14, 2023, at the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM).  Recorded and edited by: Abdelbaar Mounadi Idrissi, Outreach Director at the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM).

In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/422Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we remember and celebrate the extraordinary life of Jilly Cooper, who has sadly passed away at the age of 88. A literary icon, Jilly captured hearts and imaginations with her wit, warmth, and unmistakable voice. Her novels, especially beloved titles like Riders and Rivals, sold over 11 million copies in the UK alone and most recently inspired the hit Disney+ adaptation that introduced her work to a whole new generation. I had the immense privilege of speaking with Jilly just last October. She was everything I'd hoped she would be - funny, sharp, generous and inspiring. Today, in tribute to her legacy and the joy she brought to so many, I'm honoured to share the conversation with you again. ___________________________________________________________________ Dame Jilly Cooper. What a legend. For the uninitiated (where have you been?) she's a journalist and author most famous for her bestselling Rutshire Chronicle series which includes Riders, Polo and Rivals - the latter of which has now made into a hugely popular TV series starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson. In the past, Dame Jilly's books have been unfairly dismissed as mere ‘bonkbusters', charting the sex lives of the upper classes. But, as I discover, there's much more to both her writing - and to her. We talk about her failures with technology, why she wishes she could throw more things away, as well as the terrifying time she lost an entire manuscript on the number 28 bus and had to rewrite it. Plus her experiences of interviewing Margaret Thatcher, her friendship with the Queen, her obsession with beautiful people and ‘macho men' - and why she'd wholeheartedly recommend adoption to others. Thank you Dame Jilly. A total sport (but we knew that). ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Remembering Dame Gili Cooper 03:43 Personal Reflections and Literary Success 07:37 Exploring Themes of Masculinity and Beauty 10:15 Family, Loss, and Resilience 11:28 Failures and Fertility Challenges 21:18 Dieting and Body Image 25:12 Interviewing Margaret Thatcher 26:46 Technical Challenges and Writing Process 30:27 Friendship and Social Media

The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding biblical narratives in the context of contemporary issues, including feminism and the call for men to take a stand in today's society.

David Whitford joins Jana Byars to talk about his new book, The Making of a Reformation Man: Martin Luther and the Construction of Masculinity (Routledge, 2025). This volume explores how Martin Luther's life and teachings reshaped and redefined masculinity during the Reformation, offering a more nuanced portrayal of him as a man grappling with the complexities of fatherhood, marriage, and the battlegrounds of religious controversy. This book demonstrates how Luther forged a new ideal of Christian manhood by examining his struggles with monastic vows, his transformation of the household as a spiritual center, and his reshaping of male authority. Integrating insights from cultural historians, gender studies, and feminist scholarship, Whitford analyzes the intersections of gender, power, and religion during a time of profound social upheaval and change. Through Luther's personal transformation, this book reveals how early Protestant ideals of masculinity were intricately tied to broader religious, political, and cultural changes that reshaped Europe. By placing Luther within the wider context of religious and social transformation, this work offers a fresh perspective on his impact and the changing notions of masculinity in the early modern period. The Making of a Reformation Man is a valuable resource for scholars and students of the Reformations and gender theory, as well as readers interested in the broader implications of religious thought on societal roles and identity.

In this powerful episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing breaks down how your cell phone—something you already carry in your pocket—is one of the most underrated tools for building attraction and securing dates. While most guys stick to the same boring routine of endless texting, Mark reveals how voice calls, voicemails, and even voice memos can instantly set you apart from the herd. When you learn how to use your phone like the ultimate Swiss Army knife, you'll fast-track trust, create deeper connections, and boost attraction in ways texting alone never could.

Are men drinking themselves out of masculinity? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we break down how alcohol quietly strips away the very things men pride themselves on - strength, drive, sex drive, and mental toughness. From the “beer belly badge of surrender” to the not-so-funny reality of whiskey D, we'll dive into the science and the everyday impact booze has on your body, brain, and relationships. We'll also get real about why many men reach for the bottle to feel confident or tough, and how that short-term crutch is often the thing eroding their long-term manhood. This isn't about chest-thumping caveman masculinity. It's about the grit, focus, discipline, and clarity that make men leaders, fathers, husbands, and high performers — and why alcohol is the biggest enemy of all four. Expect some laughs, some uncomfortable truths, and a wake-up call that might just change the way you think about your next drink. Actionable Takeaways: Ask yourself: Is alcohol fueling my manhood or stealing it? Be brutally honest. Replace one “manhood killer” (nightly drinking) with one “manhood builder” (a workout, journaling, cold shower, or just showing up present with your family). If you're ready to sharpen your edge, join our free men's community — The Victory Circle — where other guys are quitting drinking and leveling up together.

In 1992, John Gray released, “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus.” It was important work then. It is just as (if not, more so) important today. Why do we as men struggle to understand what women are thinking and saying? And, why do women struggle just as much in understanding us? My guest today, Vanessa Bennet, author of “The Motherhood Myth,” and psychotherapist sheds some light on the reasons, including an inside look at what women are thinking and why. Today, we talk about the misunderstandings between men and women, why women aren't interested in being with you as one of their children, why women are looking for leadership and respect from men, what is healthy womanhood and manhood, why safety is a key factor in attractiveness for women, and what it really means when a woman says, “I want a man who is vulnerable.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 — Intro & Costa Rica setup 02:02 — Miscommunication Between Men & Women 09:17 — Shadow Work & Shame 13:06 — Myths of Motherhood 18:07 — Finding the Middle (Pendulum Theory) 21:36 — Rupture & Repair in Relationships 30:10 — Choosing vs Needing: Desire & Partnership 33:06 — Leadership vs Dominance (What Women Want) 42:48 — Don't Fix — Build Competence & Autonomy 50:26 — Safety & Parenting (why reliability matters) 59:43 — Preemptive Communication & Vulnerability 1:00:39 — Integrity & Follow-Through (why actions matter) Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
