Communication Breakdown: The reason women and men misunderstand each other.

[@aprildawnparker7133]

I appreciate seeing mature, black men being transparent. Now this is rare.

[@applesandoranges8079]

52 year old married woman here. Just stumbled upon your channel and immediately subscribe after the 1st episode. Looking forward to getting a male perspective on issues that can help me to be a better wife to my husband of 25 years. Doing well, but can always do better. Also proud to see your positive content in a world where our Black men are constantly criticized. Thank you for taking the time to make this channel!❤

I agree with not arguing. Why can't ppl discuss openly & honestly like 2 ppl who love each other & are on the same team? Too many of us put ego above love. I'm loving how Mr. Jones is healing to be a healer.

[@robertdore9592]

Our single biggest flaw as Black people is the sin of PRIDE; we would rather lose and look great or be 'wrong and strong'. Resolve this, and we move forward.

Learning from your elders is such an underrated move by my millennial generation

I love this podcast, very mature much needed conversations. Grown men perceptions are rear! they don't make them like you anymore.

[@tynicole1513]

We need more of this! 🤗

[@dbug0325]

[@RochelleParker-Mckenzie]

This podcast is amazing as it’s help me deal with and understand my husband a lot more.

[@passion-ministrythroughthe726]

great conversation. thank you

[@valeriethomas8138]

Good stuff fellas. Y’all helped someone with this conversation . I was just having a similar conversation with my significant other today! Communication is key. People say things in anger and you can’t take it back. We have to learn to recognize what we and others may be feeling!’

[@putitonthetable23]

Yes We must learn to take a step back and don't react in anger but always in compassion and love. Is it difficult sometimes? absolutely but its necessary to have a successful relationship.

[@valeriethomas8138]

Usually when we blow up, the blow up isn’t necessarily about the issue at hand. It takes growth and maturity to recognize, express and address the real issue and the cause of the reaction.

[@itsjustme6315]

I love listening to y'all's perspectives! Great Video

[@ronnieevand6942]

This episode was delicious! Listen with the intent to listen. Progression and moving forward (love it).

[@charlesdial7152]

This is really about me because I'm going through this right now..boy it hit the spot.!!

[@suzettesmith-thomas6646]

I'm liking these grown men talks w.o the blame.

[@LadyLove975]

Great talk! I think women should be invited into the discussion to speak on the perception of women in relationships and marriages

[@putitonthetable23]

We do have plans for women on the panel.

[@sonjadf47]

I agree. There’s a lot of assumptions about us that simply hold no validity.

[@robertdore9592]

@@putitonthetable23 Be prepared for ZERO resolution in that case🤣

[@aswilled1]

hell no

[@putitonthetable23]

Opinion expressed come from tears of experience, dealing with women.

[@sonjadf47]

I have a rule in my house. There will be no beefing during preseason, regular season and postseason of football, period.

Real talk from brothers that looks to be around my age 50 to 65.

One more thing, very respectfully. I have processed the issue you presented with the example of disliking red. I'm sure MANY couples encounter some form of this disagreement to which each brings their level of maturity, conflict resolution skills, personal healing & understanding. The example of you disliking red & her continuing to have red in her life, not eliminating red because you dislike it, might be akin to her announcing that she is now a vegan so you have to give up meat. She's not cooking any more meat & doesn't want it in her house. She announces it with the expectation that you are going to let her make that decision for your life, and that you will roll with it without discussion, but I seriously doubt that it would go that way, though she believes it's better for everyone's health. As to the REAL issue, which was you disliking her taking photos with men, though you said you trust her (but don't trust them) and didn't believe she had any ulterior or nefarious motives I will say this: Abuse always has an element of taking away someone's power. Adults who try to control other adults are toxic. Controlling another adult is an illusion. You can't control the intentions of any man she may or may not meet & you can't control her. There is a reason you feel insecure enough to try to exert control, much of which probably has little to do with her. If she was going to dishonor her marriage vows, creating a photo documentary of it would not be the way to go. If you don't trust her after a long term marriage, why is that? Not having seen the photos, I couldn't speak to that directly cause if she's hanging off of various men or looking single when she's not, well....Uncool. Barring that, I think it's your problem to solve & your aspect to heal, because people should have peace & happiness within that can't be disturbed by the actions of others. Whoever has self-control can take the city. Her compliance with your requests (or coersion) will send the insecurity underground until it's triggered again. Stay blessed. and thanks for the thought provoking content & your transparency.

At 50 this should be realized at 25

[@Ace_Of_Spade_Calling]

The man in the red communicates vaguely and this can frustrate people. Be specific and say what you mean instead of beating around the bush. Who has time to guess what you mean or try to understand parables. CLEAR communication is a must.

[@TheThickness4city]

we cant continue to talk about the past, but we will address the issue and move on

[@RR-et6zp]

An example: You ask a girl how to become get girls and she'll tell you attractive traits but already assuming the topic of conversation is the high value arousing top guy that she sees, the top 20%, whereas his question is how do I become that guy. Another example is her saying she wants a guy to prioritize her but then she only responds to when he's prioritising his mission and she's in his frame

[@putitonthetable23]

I think there are mistakes made when expectations are far beyond the reality of our situation. Some women don't understand a mans value and they also don't understand their own.

[@nailahdawkins]

Then date someone who *doesn't* like red. She can wear what she wants, it's her money/body! Whatever the insert issue is. Communicate it like an adult or have a non-negotiables list.

[@putitonthetable23]

Obviously you didnt follow the conversation.
