Episode 625: Detach (how men show up)

About this episode

In this episode, Orion Taraban discusses the misapplication of attachment theory in modern dating and argues that men should detach to lead with clarity and confidence.

Attachment theory dominates modern dating advice, but this might be leading men in the wrong direction. In this episode, I explain why emotional attachment matters more for women, and how its misapplication distorts expectations in relationships. Instead, I argue that men should detach – not out of indifference, but in order to lead with clarity and confidence. This is how men show up at their best.
