Spiritual Perimeter: Containing the Feminine | 170

The literal need to "protect and provide" is mostly obsolete in modern day. But women still desire to be contained when it comes to emotions, and to large degree, perceptions.One of the huge differences between committed and not-so-committed relationships is the man's role in directing reality. Only then can a woman really feel her feelings, be present, be in her feminine.It’s about a man’s role in containing a woman’s reality—All the heady, but sometimes necessary, parts of life that prevent her from being in the now, feeling her feelings, femininity…I call this the Spiritual Perimeter. (As opposed the the basic Material Perimeter.)Women want a man who is sure of what he’s doing more than whether or not he’s actually right... A woman will forgive you if you’re wrong.* 00:00: Intro to truth in relationships* 01:33: Symmetrical vs. asymmetrical dynamics* 05:16: Defining the spiritual perimeter* 12:58: Unifying reality through respect* 26:40: Passing shit and comfort tests* 35:31: Vision to prevent stagnation* 46:42: Leading as one unitGet the next post in your inbox.

When I was 23, I fell in love with a drug addict. She was sexy and interesting. But more than that, she was WILD. If my life was a movie, she was cast as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl—the adolescent male fantasy of an the open-hearted nymph who saves the non-hero from mediocrity.The MPDG highlights  a common male psychological wound. She also shows us how such a man can heal this wound, if he can avoid the emotional trap she represents.An abbreviated text version of this episode can be found at ruwando.substack.comIt includes an excerpt of my book, ORGSM, A Memoir.Get my book + redeem bonuses at https://orgsmbook.com/If you’re struggling with this kind of pattern, shoot me a message or fill out the form below.

I connected with Sascha over a post he made of “why women in their 40’s are the unhappiest ever.” Whether that’s true or not, it’s food for important conversation about modern dating and relationships.Sascha Haert is a coach for women. Tbh, I used to have a lot of judgement of men who coach women (and of women who only coach men). But he has a lot of great insight on: Why successful women hardly find love, what’s important in the bedroom, why women resent men so much these days, how woman makes space for a man in life, what kind of woman do men want in a relationships, and exploring: do women understand the power they hold? We’re two men commenting on the plight of women, so take it with some salt. However, Sascha has a lot of knowledge from the many women he’s helped.00:00 Women in their 40s are the unhappiest ever02:13 Getting lost trying to become a masculine woman06:51 How to be a good father to a daughter07:59 Woman making space for a man in life12:07 Why women resent men so much15:03 Be yourself in order to be liked19:02 How Sascha became a coach for women29:00 Fathers shape daughters’ relation to relationship31:00 Sexual liberation of women33:35 Open relationships yes or no46:26 Sascha’s work48:50 There’s too much competition between sexesHack your brain chemistry for unshakable confidence: Anabolic Psyche mini-course only $12AnabolicPsyche.com Get full access to Ruwando Substack at ruwando.substack.com/subscribe

Working with horses is the most profound thing I've done in many years. Most recently I've been training with Sergio Faerman.Sergio is a former semi-pro MMA fighter, horse therapy trainer, and “gaucho” (Latin American tradition of cowboy). He and I first met training MMA, and I’ve been training in horse riding with him.We discuss why men need to learn horseriding, how horses teach you to be a healthy leader (horses teach you how to be balanced in dominance and empathy), what therapy with horses looks like, how horses can show you your trauma, and more.Connect with Sergio on IG (English or Spanish) https://www.instagram.com/sergiofaerman/We MAY run a retreat together next year with horses.
