Ep75: Being The Strong Man a Woman Wants with Elliott Katz

---

Relationships can be confusing. As a woman, do you feel that your man isn’t pulling his weight in your relationship? As a man, do you feel like you’re doing everything that you can think of to make your partner happy, but it does anything but? Our wonderful guest today is here to help us navigate the sometimes tumultuous relationship waters.
 
Elliott Katz is an author and speaker that teaches the principles in his book, Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants: Timeless wisdom on being a man.
 
After the end of a relationship, Elliott sought to learn about being a man in a relationship. He found books on relationships said little to him, but he found powerful timeless insights in the lessons that fathers and other older male role models taught younger men. People started seeking his advice and would say, “Why didn’t someone tell me this before?”
 
Moving beyond the trendy ideas about a man’s role that don’t seem to work, Elliott shares insights on being a man that have withstood the test of time. Interestingly, these insights are the traits that he heard many women complain are lacking in men today – showing leadership, making decisions and taking responsibility. 

Episode Highlights: 

• 3 main complaints that women have that men don't do: take a leadership role, decision making, and taking responsibility
• A strong man doesn't mean that you have to be controlling. 
• A leader in a relationship is a giver. 
• A controlling person is a taker. 
• Manly and Macho do NOT mean the same thing and are most often interchanged as meaning the same. 
• Women want men to take a leadership role in the relationship and not be like one of the children. 
• Men need to be a model for their children as to what a man is in a relationship.
• As a whole we are confused as to what leadership means. 
• Communicate to your partner in the way they NEED to be communicated to, to get the results you want. 
• Communication is NOT about complaining.
