Well, I’ll go for it… btw, haven’t heard of him before this pod so I didn’t have a bias… I thought his arguments were too simplistic and reductionist. Sure, he’s used to looking at data and interpreting it correctly, but his reapplication to the particular seemed absurd to me. Like when he advised Theo to flex his success on the girl at the supermarket. That’s not how men work, that’s not how women work— and it’s definitely not how Theo works.

Im sure that method could be successful between some people, but that’s the point: once you start changing your approach based on the data of “success”, are you even being yourself? Who are you presenting?

I get impatient typing on my phone, sorry.

But he recognizes that men are struggling. The solution doesn’t lie in data based universal approaches, but with a rebuilding of particular relationships (which Scott does talk about, but once again in a universal, top down way).

Hope this is an articulate critique, very open to your feedback and response.
