"There have been some fundamental shifts in the cultural aspects of how gender roles are defined. This becomes particularly clear in relationships. What is a man actually and how should he act? What is a woman actually and how should she act?... Relationships just don't serve the same purpose as they used to. Men and women don't need each other in the same way they used to."

Join us for a conversation about navigating modern gender roles, embracing who we truly are and exploring intimacy as the constantly changing and challenging realm of relationships. Here are the details of our conversation:

• What does Steve find attractive in a human?
• Fear as the state of readiness in the face of the unknown
• What is masculinity?
• The changing terrain of modern gender roles
• How mating strategies influence our behavior
• Navigating modern relationship needs and intimacy
• Feminine/masculine identities as roles we're playing
• What real intimacy is and why it's a tremendous threat to our roles and strategies
• And much more...
