Dovid Feldman is a licensed Family Therapist who specializes in building great marriages. He has a vibrant twitter feed (@dovidfeldman), and posts & teaches about relationships online.
He’s been married 30 years & has six children. He’s lived both a secular & religious life. His career began as a tech entrepreneur, and migrated to working with people.
In this episode, we talk about our modern world. We discuss the state of inter-gender dynamics, dealing with rejection and why Dovid believes couples should schedule sex.
Also, I share what the dating world was like in the 2010s, why men don’t want to grow up and naturally seek variety. We talk red-pill & women’s hypergamous nature. Why is it that young people no longer engage in courtship?
Dovid mentions the “Manosphere,” and why he was blocked by the red-pill community on Twitter.
Unfortunately, traditionally masculine characteristics are now exhibited by women, while traditionally feminine traits are displayed by men.
