Dan Faill is an expert in masculinity and how it impacts our romantic relationships, he joins Lyn today to discuss masculinity, how identity plays a part, and why conversations about it should be out in the open.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many men are tired of the "toxic" debate, which seems to place men into either a "toxic" or not category.
• Masculinity is an ongoing discussion that needs to be brought more to light. Having open conversations will help to dispell any confusion around what is or isn't, healthy / unhealthy masculinity. The truth is often suprising and not what we think.
• There are too many buzzwords in dating, such as 'openness' and 'vulnerability'. But often people are not looking for these things, and when they present themselves, they often back away in fear.
• Men find themselves shutting down and shutting off for fear of being called out on behaviour that could be seen as unhealthy.

BEST MOMENTS

'I never wanted to be a masculinity speaker'

'We can talk about these hard subject matters, and they don't have to be hard'

'No one in the world has their s**t together'
