Masked Man 20/100: The Work in Progress Miss Amanda Chen Show
-
- Mental Health
Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. I’ve got some new episodes for the 100 Masked Men series, where I anonymously interview men from all over the world to collect as many different perspectives on relationships and the role of masculinity.
This week we deep dive into why some single guys stay single, and if you listened to the last episode, here’s a different perspective behind another non committal man.
Masked Man #20 is the Work in Progress - he believes that for anything to be “worth it” there needs to be a challenge, and you’ve got to struggle to get there. If it comes too easy, there’s a problem.
I appreciate that he has such high expectations for himself and isn’t blaming the women he’s with, but it’s almost unachievable that he’s literally given up on dating altogether and hasn’t been with anyone for over two years. Out of sight, out of mind, right? The more guys I meet the more i notice how fearful we are at starting relationships because we don’t want to waste someone else’s time. As noble as this man is as a work in progress, i kind of feel like he’s missing out on some amazing relationships. but i’ll let you be the judge of that. let’s get into it.
I feel like the last two episodes showed various forms of the avoidant attachment type, which is someone that prioritizes being independent and stays away from getting too close to people. but this man in particular seems very fearful of being a disappointment to his partner. does this resonate with you? let me know and as always, if you’d like to be on the show or know of someone with a unique perspective, slide into my DMs at @missamandachen on instagram and see you next Wednesday with more episodes of 100 Masked Men.
