Welcome to our video about men in relationships and whether men are afraid of women. Are men afraid of women? In this video, we’ll walk you through: – Relationship advice for men – What do men want? – Why are men lonely? Dr. Kate is joined by Dr. Avrum Weiss on this week’s episode of Get Naked to discuss the ways that men’s fears of women may negatively impact their relationships with women.
We cover a range of fascinating topics on our channel, and in this video, there is a special emphasis on whether men are afraid of women and how this affects men in relationships. Together, they unpack • The deep seated roots of intimacy fears, starting from childhood relationships • The strain that fear can place on intimate relationships between men and women • How men unconsciously identify their own fears of intimacy • The role of the patriarchy when it comes to how men learn to love • Starting points to help men have more meaningful relationship and so much more.
