#236 - Dr Robert Glover - Everything You’ve Been Told About Attraction Is Wrong

Dr Robert Glover is a therapist, coach and an author. Why do so many men struggle to be authentic in relationships? Why does “being a nice guy” often backfire? And how can men live in a way that attracts love, purpose, and connection without chasing status or approval? Expect to learn why women often find “nice guy” behavior unattractive, the three traits that make men genuinely magnetic, why hiding your true self comes across as creepy or even predatory, the cultural lessons Glover discovered from life in Mexico, how therapy and releasing shame can transform your relationships, why social media and AI are disconnecting us from real life, the importance of men finding brotherhood and safe spaces to open up, how to stop over-pathologizing everything as trauma, and why embracing life’s struggles makes you more fulfilled, attractive, and resilient—and much more. 00:00 - Dr. Glover’s Love Story in Mexico 09:45 - The Three Traits That Make Men Magnetic 15:18 - How Shame and Secrets Keep Men Stuck 20:54 - Why Looks, Status & Money Aren’t the Answer 27:32 - The Pitfalls of Over-Pathologizing Trauma 33:41 - Social Media, AI, and Disconnection 40:05 - Why Men Must Reconnect with Other Men 46:50 - The Rise of the Global Men’s Movement 52:17 - Masculinity, the Manosphere & Doing Better 58:30 - How to Embrace Struggle Without Fear 01:03:44 - Dr. Glover’s Advice to Young Men Try my app: Get 20% of MindStrong Sport app subscriptions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mindstrongsport.com/checkout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use code mindstrongpodcast) Get in Touch: ⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lewishatchett⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lewis_hatchett⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To sponsor or contact the show visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lewishatchett.com/podcast⁠⁠
