#115 - Mascuriosity: The Antidote to Pedestaling Women (Stop Tipping It on the Ramp!)

Sat in a café in Canggu this week, a stunning girl walked in and I clocked my own reaction: the instinct to immediately count myself out, put her on a pedestal, and hand over all my power before a word had even been said.

So I'm introducing a concept I'm calling Mascuriosity, taking that masculine sexual energy and modulating it into genuine curiosity about the person in front of you, rather than collapsing into the classic "no chance, mate" response.

In this one I get into:

- The "she's too good for me" conditioning most of us grew up with

- Why suppressing healthy masculine drive isn't the answer, channelling it is

- How curiosity dissolves anxiety (and even physical pain, credit to Ross Edgley)

- Why this has to be drilled, not just understood

- Why beautiful people aren't automatically interesting, and why that matters for your own self-worth

- The Northern working-class "tip it on the ramp" origin story
