#191: Deeper Dating and a New Map to Love – Ken Page

If you are struggling with dating, you may be caught in old
paradigms, beliefs and habits that stop REAL love from igniting
and staying strong over time. Today's Man Alive podcast guest
is a brilliant and open-hearted therapist, podcast host, and
creator of the Deeper Dating platform -- where people connect
with others who are interested in experiencing love and dating
in a genuine way. 

There are many outdated ideas about love and relationships that
cause a lot of pain and struggle in this modern day world. Men
often tell me they feel the weight of expectations to look and
act certain ways, to try to be who they think women want them
to be.


 


The good news is that times are changing. From dating, all the
way to business, authenticity and vulnerability are being
welcomed more and more. You no longer have to be the rock, or
the "got it all together" man to be respected or admired. You
can relax and allow more of your humanity! 



In this episode, we discussed:


Why your strongest attractions can lead you astray

Attractions of deprivation vs inspiration

The gift-wound defense matrix and how your biggest wounds
reveal your core gifts

How attraction ebbs and flows in dating and relationships
and what to do about it

The 7 skills of deeper dating



Ken says, "If we only focus on immediate attraction, we may
well end up unhappy. But if we prioritize the importance of
deep emotional safety, our chance of finding real love expands
powerfully.”
