Podcast Synopsis:<\/h3>\n

What’s happened to today’s man? Why are women so frustrated with today’s sensitive guys? Why is it that when a man takes a woman out on a date — he can’t even decide where to go for a cup of coffee? What is going on with men — that women initiate most divorces? THE REASON:<\/strong> TODAY’S MEN DON’T ACT LIKE MEN. In these times, men need to learn to be men. Author of the Book “Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants”<\/em> Elliot Katz <\/strong>has been interviewed about his book on more than 90 radio and TV shows in the Canada, US, the UK and Singapore.<\/p>\n

THREE THINGS A MAN NEEDS TO BE<\/strong>:\u00a0 He\u2019s sensitive and tries hard to please the woman in his life, but when there’s a problem that needs to be dealt with, he seems oblivious. When she asks for input on a decision, he says, “It’s up to you.” He wants to be nice but doesn\u2019t understand why he\u2019s frustrating her. He doesn’t understand she wants a strong man. Elliott Katz understands why women today complain about the lack of quality men. “Today\u2019s men have received so many confusing messages on what a man should be, they\u2019re bewildered.\u201d “To avoid accusations of being controlling, many men have gone to the other extreme and avoid showing leadership and making decisions. The irony is that while men think they\u2019re being sensitive and non-controlling, the biggest complaint I hear from women is that men today don\u2019t show leadership, they don\u2019t make decisions and they won\u2019t take responsibility,'” says Katz.<\/p>\n

One of women\u2019s biggest complaints is that men don\u2019t show their share of leadership in the relationship. When a man sees a situation that needs to be dealt with, he should step forward and handle it. People admire those who step forward to handle difficult situations \u2013 and don\u2019t wait for others to solve the problem. Make decisions
\n to avoid accusations of being controlling, a lot of men have gone to the other extreme \u2013 they leave most decisions to their wives. A man needs to make his share of decisions and take responsibility for the outcome. To many women, a man who avoids decisions is shirking his responsibilities. One of the meanings of the word “manly” is being decisive. Take responsibility for improving the situation. Don\u2019t blame others. There is little sympathy for a man who blames a woman \u2013 even when he thinks she pushed him into it. People will say, “You\u2019re the man. Why did you let it go on?” One of the meanings of the word “husband” is someone who skillfully manages his household. Managers take responsibility. “Divorced women have said that if their husbands had understood these crucial truths, their marriages would not have disintegrated,” Katz says. Women give the book to men and say, \u201cThis is what I have been trying to tell you all this time.\u201d The most common question Katz receives from women is: \u201cHow do I get him to read it?\u201d BEING THE STRONG MAN A WOMAN WANTS<\/strong> is available at Amazon.com<\/a> <\/strong>and bookstores.<\/p>\n
