Quote:I've never run AM, but I agree that PM is nothing like I expected it to be. I was also hesitant to run it at first because I thought it might bring out aggressive savage tendencies. It doesn't. I actually felt more aggressive and temperamental while running US than I do with PM. PM brings out a sense of warmth in me. Even when I'm confronting someone, it's like I'm either (1) a caring father figure disciplining a child, or (2) a concerned, well-respected friend. There's an exchange that results in productive confrontations versus two beasts scrapping it out. Using a pheromone analogy: I expected Androstenone, but I'm experiencing Androsterone.
As far as the "too good to be true" thing goes, just roll with it and see what happens. Some of my initial experiences with PM have morphed into something more subtle and consistent. At some point you'll get a better sense of where it lands.
As a side note, I recently quit using all forms of caffeine. That has helped me settle deeper into PM. If anxiety is a problem, that might be worth considering.
Interesting, I haven't really had any confrontations. I thought one potential one, I went in expecting it. I got a little annoyed at one thing, but calmly stated my point and he accepted it and it was okay. Can't think of any other times.
The 'too good to be true' thing is an old pattern that tends to come up for me, I do hope the attention and my vibe grows more.
I haven't had coffee or caffeine for like 6 years now, I don't generally have a huge amount of anxiety so I could see it was something coming up from PM.. like a little bit of a panic from some part of me after getting that attention I wasn't used to.
Quote:I suppose that's where the "your own definition of masculinity" part is working its magic.
Quote:And I suspect that a lot of guys are going to be surprised what their definition of masculinity actually is at first...
Hmm, that's one thing i'm unsure about. Like it talks about getting rid of feminist and limiting programming, but what if because of upbringing and society that is more in our definition of masculinity than we expect?
I used another masculinity program briefly a while ago, and stopped using it because it was leading me in directions I didn't want and seemed to be trying to get me to accept bs I didn't want. I worry that i've got some of that programming in there.
Still not totally sure where it's going I guess.

Thanks man, i'm trying. It's good when things are flowing, but challenging at other times.
