Men Pay For Love (one way or another)

About this episode

John Griffin discusses why men often find themselves in relationships they didn't choose and how to make better decisions in dating.

Why do so many men end up in relationships they never truly chose? Over-investing in a relationship you don't want is a mistake men stumble into every day. In this video, I break down how attraction can shut down rational thinking, why men ignore red flags in the early stages, and how the "pink mist" of romantic desire can lead to commitments that cost far more than expected. We talk about: why men overpay in relationships how imagination distorts judgment the role of metacognition in dating decisions the hidden cost of sacrificing authenticity why autonomy matters more than most men realize how to think clearly before emotions take over This is not about blaming women. It’s about helping men think better, choose better, and build healthier relationships from a place of clarity instead of impulse. If you’ve ever found yourself asking: How did I end up here? Why did I ignore the signs? Why did this relationship cost me so much? This conversation is for you. If you're navigating dating, marriage, divorce, or life after divorce, subscribe for honest conversations about how men can build stronger, healthier relationships without bitterness, resentment, or self-betrayal…
