Robert Glover: The Hidden Why Interview

Robert Glover, a family and relationship psychologist, discussed his journey and insights on men's health and relationships. He highlighted the shift from traditional masculinity to a more complex understanding of masculinity, influenced by feminism and social media. Glover emphasised the importance of men connecting with other men to fill their emotional needs and become more attractive to women. He noted the rise in men's depression and isolation, linking it to societal changes and the pressure to conform to new gender roles. Glover advocates for men to prioritize their needs and build supportive relationships to improve their overall well-being.

Highlights

  • Robert Glover's background as a marriage and family therapist for over 40 years, with a focus on working with men for the past 25 years.
  • The inspiration behind writing his first book, "No More Mr. Nice Guy," which stemmed from his own personal experiences and the struggles of his male clients.
  • The evolution of the "nice guy" phenomenon, with a shift from absent or abusive fathers to more "nice guy" fathers who teach their sons to avoid upsetting their mothers.
  • The impact of feminism, the #MeToo movement, and social media on men's perceptions and behaviors, leading to increased isolation, depression, and avoidance of relationships.
  • The importance of men connecting with other men to have their needs met and build confidence, rather than solely seeking validation from women.
  • The responsibility of adults, including men, to take charge of getting their needs met through various practices and support systems.
  • The challenges faced by younger men in navigating relationships and social dynamics, with the fear of being accused of wrongdoing on social media.
  • The perspective on women's experiences and the need for a balanced approach that values both genders, rather than extremes.
