Man, We’re in Trouble!

That's Not Love, That's Control | Toxic Relationships, Escort Confessions & The Game | MWIT S2E04

On this episode of Man We're In Trouble, Mitch and Ed reunite after months apart — Ed has moved to Europe with his wife, child, and two dogs, while Mitch is juggling two mortgages after buying a new house before his old one sold. Carlos joins mid-episode. They react to six real relationship advice stories covering financial control, study boundaries, an escort confession that led to therapy, orgasm and sexual compatibility, carrying an unmotivated partner, and a girlfriend who found "The Game" with her boyfriend's highlights in it — leading into a full debate on red pill content, negging, and what men are actually reading. ──────────────────────────CHAPTERS──────────────────────────00:00 Cold Open Debate00:25 Season Two Kickoff01:22 Moving Overseas Stress03:00 Two Mortgages Woes04:58 New Advice Format05:49 Hostess Job Control12:25 Study Time Boundaries16:41 Carlos Joins In18:46 Escort Dad Bombshell28:53 Orgasm Conversation35:36 Sex Therapy Reality Check37:47 Resentment And Burnout40:21 Ultimatums Or Exit44:20 Pickup Artist Book Shock46:03 Negging And Dating Tactics53:28 Red Pill Context Debate57:31 Jester Maxing And Apps01:00:46 Man Wit Book Club01:03:11 What We Are Reading01:09:13 War Books And Today01:11:05 Wrap Up And Next Time ───────────────────────────FIND US──────────────────────────Email: Themanwitpc@gmail.com [Themanwitpc@gmail.com]Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheManWitPodcast [https://www.instagram.com/TheManWitPodcast]TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themanwitpodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@themanwitpodcast]Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/manwitpodcast.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/manwitpodcast.bsky.social]YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheManWitPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@TheManWitPodcast]Podcast: https://tr.ee/mpF4UP-gNZ [https://tr.ee/mpF4UP-gNZ]All links: https://linktr.ee/Manwereintrouble?utm_source=linktree_admin_share [https://linktr.ee/Manwereintrouble?utm_source=linktree_admin_share] man were in trouble, MWIT, mens podcast, relationship advice, red pill, the game, toxic relationships, dating advice, reddit stories, escort confession, mens talk, podcast, non toxic masculinity, book club, dating tactics, sexual compatibility, orgasm, ultimatum, pickup artist, negging

Dealing with Rejection, Safety, and Mixed Signals

In season two, episode three of the We’re in Trouble podcast, Mitch hosts Ed, Mariah, Rafael, and Mary as they share quick introductions and recent positives, then shift into a conversation about rejection. Mary recounts rejecting an intoxicated man at a line-dancing bar whose behavior escalated, emphasizing that clear boundaries can be about safety rather than rudeness. The group discusses why rejecting others feels bad, how dating apps can distort perceptions, and how mixed signals and differing interpretations of body language contribute to confusion, including debates about the “friend zone” and being breadcrumbed. They share experiences of rejection from both men and women, argue for making intentions clear early, and stress that rejection isn’t inherently disrespect and should be handled calmly with self-respect. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:46 Ed Intro and Cruise Story 02:15 Pilot License Banter 02:51 Mariah Intro and Dating Context 03:58 Rafael Intro and Foster Kittens 05:40 Mary Intro and Southern Weather 07:12 Mitch Intro and Family Update 09:26 Worst Military Bases and Jokes 11:01 Topic Shift Rejection 12:16 Mary Salt Guy Rejection Story 16:27 Why Rejection Feels Bad 18:33 Reading Signals and Friend Zone 25:13 Breadcrumbing and Mixed Motives 32:26 Insecurity Self Respect and Gym Advice 37:26 Swiping Past the 1% Guy 38:29 Dating App Photos and Safety 39:11 Approaching with Intent 39:41 Workplace Dating Debate 41:23 Rejection Done Right 43:00 Bar Signals and Dancing 44:34 Confidence Switch Flip 48:07 Fuck It Mode Success Story 50:42 Directness and Vulnerability 51:46 When Rejection Goes Bad 56:30 Breadcrumbs and One Night Stands 01:05:43 Purity Culture and Risk 01:08:52 Wrap Up and Next Steps Rejection, Dating, Relationships, Safety, Mixed signals, Boundaries, Consent, Confidence, Vulnerability, Breadcrumbing, Friend zone, Insecurity, Workplace dating, Dating apps, Body language, Intentions, Self-respect, Purity culture, Directness, Podcast #Rejection, #Dating, #Relationships, #Safety, #Mixedsignals, #Boundaries, #Consent, #Confidence, #Vulnerability, #Breadcrumbing, #Friendzone, #Insecurity, #Workplacerating, #Datingapps, #Bodylanguage, #Intentions, #Selfrespect, #Purityculture, #Directness, #Podcast

Communication, Trauma Dumping, and Dating Culture | Man We’re In Trouble Podcast S2E2

Season 2, Episode 2 of the Man We’re In Trouble Podcast features Mitch, Matt, and first-time guests Victoria and Mariah discussing relationships and communication from both men’s and women’s perspectives. After introductions and sharing recent positives (Mitch’s son taking his first steps, Matt’s job interviews, Victoria nearing the end of a nine-month project and weather improving in Texas, and Mariah attending a cousin’s wedding with her boyfriend), the group dives into Matt’s question about navigating vulnerability and difficult disclosures in a new relationship. They discuss how to handle heavy topics and past trauma without self-sabotaging, including asking whether a partner has the capacity to hear something, revisiting sensitive conversations, using clear expectations like “do you want me to listen or give feedback,” and even writing a letter to communicate carefully. The conversation expands into expectations and double standards in emotional labor, how past experiences shape reactions in new relationships, and broader dating culture issues such as red pill/manosphere attitudes, accountability among men, safety concerns for women, and how porn and romantic media can create unrealistic expectations. Matt closes by saying the discussion helped, describing major life changes and noting he’s in his healthiest relationship, while the group tees up community and loneliness as a potential future topic. 00:00 Podcast Kickoff 00:45 Meet Victoria 01:53 Meet Mariah 04:23 Meet Matt 05:36 Why Women Guests Matter 06:57 Host Mitch Intro 10:08 Good News Roundtable 15:33 Communication Topic Setup 16:45 Trauma Sharing Boundaries 23:29 Revisiting Hard Talks 26:00 Tools for Safer Talks 43:40 Vulnerability and Insecurity 45:47 Revisiting a Tough Talk 46:44 Secure About Vulnerability 47:45 The Double Standard Debate 50:27 Men and Women Think Differently 53:11 Exes and Emotional Weight 56:43 Women’s Safety and Accountability 01:01:58 Red Pill vs Real Protection 01:05:38 Hookup Culture and Pair Bonding 01:10:33 Porn and Unreal Expectations 01:17:12 Romance Books and Fantasy Men 01:19:59 Loneliness and Lost Community 01:23:19 Wrapping Up and Next Steps dating communication, trauma dumping, emotional vulnerability, modern dating culture, healthy relationships, men and women relationships, emotional boundaries, dating advice podcast, relationship communication, emotional labor in relationships, vulnerability in dating, relationship trauma, dating expectations, men’s mental health podcast, women’s safety in dating, red pill dating culture, hookup culture discussion, porn and dating expectations, secure attachment dating, loneliness and relationships #datingcommunication, #traumadumping, #emotionalvulnerability, #moderndatingculture, #healthyrelationships, #menandwomenrelationships, #emotionalboundaries, #datingadvicepodcast, #relationshipcommunication, #emotionallaborinrelationships, #vulnerabilityindating, #relationshiptrauma, #datingexpectations, #mensmentalhealthpodcast, #womenssafetyindating, #redpilldatingculture, #hookupculturediscussion, #pornanddatingexpectations, #secureattachmentdating, #lonelinessandrelationships
