We released a new Man Down this week, this time on attachment styles.
If you DON'T know what they are, knowing them will absolutely change your self understanding and how you interact with others in your life.
This is transformational learning.

I have now had multiple women I have dated tell me I eat TOO healthy.
Which I am choosing to take as a huge compliment.
(I still eat good stuff and at GREAT restaurants, but all my baselines are basically protein and veg now.)

I am at the point in my life where I don't NEED to do this to myself...
But it ended up very funny and I think will be hugely helpful to others. @patrickbvs.bsky.social had way too much fun.
AND... there's a chance for listeners to get feedback on their profiles too!

You lot asked, we delivered.
We walk through all the data on the various dating apps, and give you tips on how to spend more efficiently in Appland.
And also... the personal pain of getting my dating profile crtiqued and improved by an expert.
She TRIPLED my matches!

I don't do it myself, but I like the idea that OTHER people have lists and characteristics.
I felt it would be too transgressive for me, as a deep data nerd, to do things like this. But others? I am all for it. Enshrine your sexy memories so you can re-live them at heir leisure.

In case you don't listen to the football pod, almost the last half of it is largely bonus Man Down content.
We had 3 sets of outtakes today and @patrickbvs.bsky.social called me a "paypig", so I guess it's going to be a pretty good episode of @thetransferflow.bsky.social podcast.

We'll talk about kids on Man Down.
There are eras of raising children.
When they are young, it's HARD. Still rewarding, but hard.
They get into school age and it gets a bit better + easier.
They get to like age 10+ and can become magical real people and friends for life.

I like it when these are a pattern so you can immediately tell they are sus.
Presumably bloody IG DM pr*n marketing.
It's not like anyone slides into my DMs outside of Sales or nerds hoping for advice. 🤣

These personal accounts are quiet bc I'm trying to get someone to run the pro ones 🤣

Love this.
Fits with what we've discussed on Man Down in needing to build a sense of self-worth that you can refer back to you when sad, or in turmoil, or when times are tough.

Reading Jillian Turecki's book It Begins With You and these two pages hit me like a truck. Been thinking through them for days.

Now that the daylight hours are longer, my body only tolerates about 7.5 hours of sleep at night. (My winter hibernations can be more like 9.)
BUT... I typically sleep longer/better when I am sleeping with someone I love. There are all sorts of funky mind/body things like this in life.

When I am doing maintenance workouts, I can usually do 4 days in a row. But when I nudge the weightlifting up, then it's weights->cardio->yoga on day 3 as recovery.
And some days I wake confused/tired bc I forgot that sex counts as extra cardio.
You gotta listen to your body.

There are times when you are lean that you do big cardio, then sauna, and after you are re-hydrating + eating a snack and your brain just kinda pauses and gets lost for a bit...
I'm pretty sure it's just waiting for my blood sugar to catch up and power it, but I do sometimes miss the time!

I have a friend who advises men on how to improve their dating apps, and she gave me brutal, HILARIOUS feedback a month ago on how I needed to improve mine.

I may have a bit less hair, but I have FAR fewer body aches and pains than I did 10 years ago. A lot of that is due to lowering the weight my body has to carry, but at least some of it is due to the fact that I will just make myself do 10 mins of yoga to loosen up, any time.
