Reflecting on 20 years of Marriage

In episode 4 of my podcast, I discuss the topic of Hoes, Freaks, and Good Girls, and how to understand and screen for each type in all your relationships. I share comments from Mr. Paradise, the author of the book 21st Century Fox: Space Age Pimping, who provides insights on Social Proof and the importance of Eye Contact in relationships. I emphasize the importance of screening for Good Girls if one is looking for a long-term relationship and warn against getting into relationships with Hoes. I also discuss the importance of Confidence in attracting women. I discuss Tariq Nasheed's 20 dos and don'ts for Macks in this and the next episode.

The Joseph W. South Show – Volume 1 is packed with even more practical insights and personal stories than what you saw in my last book. Building on the success of Practical Female Psychology for the Practical Man, this book provides you with a deeper understanding of female psychology and how to apply it to everyday interactions with women.

Whether you're a new reader or a returning fan you'll find plenty of useful advice in these pages. I bring decades of experience to the table, having made every mistake possible when it comes to the opposite sex. From divorce and child custody battles to wild sex and successful relationships I've seen and done it all!

It's not just men who stand to benefit. Female readers of the original book have raved about how PFP helped them understand their own thinking and the differences between masculine and feminine thought processes.

In a world where dating, sex, and relationships are complex and difficult to manage, I offer practical advice on how to overcome shyness, interact comfortably with the opposite sex, and find sexual partners. I share experiences of meeting and having sex with a lot of women, despite not being super rich, tall, or with model-good looks.

Love is such a funny word.  It can invoke all sorts of meanings depending on a person's situation.  Some use it casually to refer to an interest.  Others use it sparingly when in a committed relationship.  Whatever your meaning, do you think it is the solid basis for any long term relationship?  When you see couples celebrate their 50th anniversary, is it because they still get those butterflies in their stomach when they think of each other?  Join my old buddy, Imran, and I as we talk about love and what it means to have a compatible partner.
