One term that always confused me a bit was “emotional cheating.” Maybe confused isn’t the right word, but the whole thing seemed a bit weird. Is it when someone gets close to regular cheating but holds themselves back? Is it simply a lesser form of cheating? Or is it something else entirely? I’ve started to […]

As many of you might remember, I’ve got a thing for DJ Khaled. The dude absolutely fascinates me. Got to be one of the dumbest celebrities yet one of the most authentic and in-tune with himself. Anyway, another riff on the guy. One of his popular (albeit not sensational) songs is “No New Friends.” Basically, the
About a year ago I wrote a two-part article on the difference between Dominance and Seduction. (Read: Part 1 & Part 2) It’s a topic that fascinates me to this day. The main question that still remains for me is how it plays into game. Let me take you down my line of inquiry… I consider both Dominance

A couple days ago I wrote something on Twitter about “models of mental management.” I don’t know whether I made this ambiguous term up or borrowed it, but it’s basically a way of codifying how you get yourself to do things.

“A woman can tell if you’re assessing her or leering” Some guy, I believe @huntfored, said something along those lines the other day. (Great account to follow if you haven’t already – he’s basically the wise yet jaded, reformed hedonist. Dark, incredible insights into female nature.) It’s an important distinction.

Of course, as we know, men need to be cautious when it comes to such advice. Vulnerability is best expressed from a position of strength, otherwise your masculinity will diminish in her eyes. (To

I’ve been having an issue with one client. We’ll go into that a bit below, but first a little precursor on my coaching so you know the scene. One of the big things I do in my coaching practice is “deep work.” It’s something I pride myself on: long conversations with the client, psychotherapeutical in
As many of you know I’m from around Philadelphia. And though I’ve moved onto NYC I return often — it’s still my home. One such return was this past weekend for Super Bowl LII. I was determined not to miss this. Back in 2008 I was living in Philadelphia when the Phillies won the World

Hang around the self-improvement community for even a little and you’ll start to audit your life on an almost unconscious basis. You’ll realize which behaviors are helpful, which are self-destructive, and you’ll think almost incessantly how to cultivate the former and stop the latter. It takes a bit more time to learn this is not

Yesterday I talked a bit on Twitter about an interesting topic for men: sexual shame. I don’t mention sexual shame very often, which is strange really, since it’s a cornerstone piece of the work I do with my coaching clients. But I want to explore it a bit today — not only because it’s a key
