#66 | What’s Behind the Perception that Men ‘Lack Concern’?

About This Episode

In a recent study out of the Czech Republic, it’s reported that women are envious of men for their ‘lack of concern’(among other things). I recently had a few women mention to me that they feel so anxious all the time , meanwhile their partners seem to not be carrying as much ‘mental load.’

What’s actually going on here? It’s definitely not lack of concern. It all comes back to our differences as hunters versus gatherers. Women often experience heightened anxiety do to the way their brains constantly pull them in different direction, whereas men are focused and linear aiming for and executing one task at a time. I reframe some of the misconceptions women have about men and share some practical ways men and women can communicate more effectively.
