Weekly Mini Episode: 8 Hidden Ways Anxious Men Damage Emotional Intimacy in Dating

From attaching too quickly and over-sharing on early dates… to mistaking uncertainty for rejection — this solo episode breaks down the hidden ways anxiously attached men sabotage emotional intimacy in dating, often without realizing it.

Instead of blaming emotionally unavailable women, bad luck, or thinking you're "too much," David reveals the real issue:
👉 Anxious attachment isn't about being needy — it's about struggling to regulate uncertainty, boundaries, and emotional safety in the body.
