Dating advice for men from a professional: Chris Manak – Episode 122

by  on  in Podcast • 0 Comments

The Story: An interview with dating industry expert, Chris Manak

For many boys becoming men and men becoming confused, the dating scene still remains something of a mystery. Many men go out to clubs, with the hopes of meeting women, but are unsure of how to introduce themselves, how to make conversation, to flirt, to charm a woman, and perhaps more importantly, how to overcome obstacles, and maintain a positive state in the face of rejection. Even men who, to their friends, seem confident, attractive, and successful, may still be confronted with an array of problems in this area of their lives.

For these reasons, it’s becoming more and more common for men to seek the advice of a professional, a dating coach who can give them advice on how to express themselves authentically, how to be confident, and how to be resilient when challenges present themselves.

In this episode, Kurt interviews Chris Manak, life coach, motivator, personal development expert and dating coach. Chris sees the act of meeting people as a kind of therapy, where his clients’ insecurities are quickly brought to light and can be addressed. Every concept of “I’m not good enough” and every spectre of your ex-girlfriend can immediately be exposed, and so begins the path to healing. We discussed how Chris’s humble beginnings, learning slowly how to meet women, how his friends eventually wanted to learn from him, and the dark side of the game, where people can get lost, running from their past. We also discussed the stigma surrounding personal development, and how that might change in the future.

The Story:

For many people, finding a partner is a question more of chance, than of design. They don’t necessarily start out with a firm idea of the kind of person they are trying to attract, and they don’t necessarily learn to clearly identify the specific qualities they’re looking for in the potential partners that they meet. And so, for most people, relationships can be like a kind of random walk, and in a culture that puts Disney-style romance above compatibility or the hard work of building a solid foundation for a relationship, perhaps it’s no wonder that so many marriages end in divorce.

To the minds of many, it may seem overly-calculating to try to design the kind of relationship you want, and it may seem contrived to work on a relationship to make something work, because the “natural assumption” is that love should flow effortlessly, with no struggles and not even a thought. Unfortunately, the reality is normally very different.

In this episode, Kurt talks to Aaron about the kind of attitude and energy that is attractive to a woman, and to people in general, about why he’s decided to not engage in sexual activity for the moment, and the kinds of things he is looking for in a woman, as a life partner, to create the most favourable conditions for a successful relationship – firstly, that she be bilingual, secondly that she is interested in psychedelics, and finally that she has learned the important life lesson of “Practise something, and you will get better at it.”

Let’s examine ourselves and our expectations of the world, in the next episode of The Paradise Paradox.

The Story:

In this episode kurt brings to our attention to what appears to be a break up over a messenger chat. The screen shot was captured and uploaded as a Facebook status. Kurt and Aaron enjoy the role play then discuss their thoughts on what is actually happening here.

There are super heroes amongst us, however for most people relationships can be daunting, intimidating and confusing. At any stage of relations people can find themselves caught up and emotional charged. The world is about to end – a text message wasn’t answered, the un-answered phone call, or returning to 12 missed calls. These are examples of the land mines of the dating game.

We visit the theme of personal perspectives, where everyone must be accountable for how we choose to interact in this world, Saagar put it, “You don’t see the world as it is, you see it, as you are.” Personal growth is the never ending story and closing this gap is a life-time of serious work. So to get a quick fix of higher knowledge, butter the popcorn and put down the Rubik’s cube, here is another mind expanding episode of The Paradise Paradox!!!
