In today’s episode of the podcast, Mike Watts & Aydian Dowling dig into the weird things men do to prove their manliness.
Do you find yourself denying how cold it is and telling everyone you’re fine when you are freezing?
What is it about acknowledging that you are cold equates to weakness or non-manliness? Why on earth are bandaids emasculating?
The guys go into the common and uncommon ways we prove our masculinity to ourselves and others.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
- The idea that perception of cold is influenced by gender
- What vocal tone do you use when cheering for sports? Do you go lower than your speaking voice?
- How does the pitch of a man’s voice influence how others perceive him?
- Why do men think their cheering/watching a game influences the result?
- Where does the stereotype that men won’t ask for directions come from?
- Why do men think they can fix things they have no experience with?
