Thirty-five years later, she's the author of The Queen's Code, the creator of the Understanding Men and Understanding Women courses, and most of her work is teaching WOMEN to stop emasculating men. This week she sat down with a channel full of guys rebuilding after divorce.\nWe got into: why women are the aggressor in the so-called war between the sexes, why you should be very careful with relationship advice written by women (most of it teaches you to contort yourself to please her, which kills the one thing she actually needs from you), why men wisely don't reveal their weaknesses and what most wives do when they do, why dependency always creates manipulation, and her core message for men whose marriage is falling apart: it's bad enough that women emasculate you. Don't do it to yourself.\nThen it got deeper. The tunnel between prince and king. The midlife shift nobody warns you about: her estrogen falls off a cliff, her brain moves from connectivity to productivity, and she starts running the \"am I better off without you?\" math. Why your mission cannot just be keeping a woman happy — get a bigger purpose. And the sentence that dropped into Alison's head and became the spine of her next book, The King's Code: men live with the ever-presence of death.\nMy favorite moment: two weeks into knowing her, her partner Dan responds to a criticism about his driving without even turning around. \"That sounds a lot like criticism. And I stopped taking that a long time ago.\" What that did to her nervous system is the whole lesson of this hour. Don't cave. When you cave, it scares her to death. Because if you can't protect her from HER, how are you going to protect her from anything else?\n👑 Find Alison: https://www.alisonarmstrong.com — The Queen's Code, her courses, and free resources.\n🔴 FREE: Fix Your Dead Bedroom (Instant PDF...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YiHzLsFwQs1l2EQbUXztvHyWFsPsmiGIGpfVw4pLN6o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ODQ0/ODVhZDc4YzQ3OGQ4/MmQ3ZWNmOTBjZWVi/ZDVmZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
