Most women would believe most of us as men suck at listening. Yet, all of them seem to be looking for a man who knows how. All that can mean, gentlemen, is the first of us to get this skill right will get the girl.

So then, if this is so freaking important, why do we tend to mess it up? My first-time guest Matt Halloran, author of Shut The F Up And Listen, has it all figured out. After this episode, so will you.

First off, what exactly is engaged listening? Next, what basic skill is the art of listening predicated upon…and why? There is a ‘hardwired’ mindset within most of us as men that causes us to miss out on opportunities to listen. How do we rewire ourselves for success?

Are there situations where it’s patently unfair to expect us as men to just ‘shut the f up and listen’ to the woman in our life? What is the ultimate positive reason to actually pause, breath and listen to a woman…especially if you want her to stick around?

Shifting gears a bit, listen in as Matt shares his #1 first date tip…which is really something else. What are the most powerful three words on a first date? When on a date with a woman, what should your seating arrangement be? Discover why this matters more than you might have ever thought. Overall a great show that’s both informative and entertaining, for sure.
