Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why You're Still Single & How To Get Married | Brad Wilcox · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

And so she's now a successful lawyer in the South.

But her husband's a successful young entrepreneur.

And she said to me, it's comforting to know that I could lose my job or not work and just know that he would be there to support me, that he's kind of a financial rock for her.

So providing is one thing, but protecting is also super important.

When I was interviewing women for my book, Forget Merit, I heard from them repeatedly that they admired a guy who would walk on the sidewalk on the street side, kind of protecting them in a sense when they were out and about, when they were going to a movie or a restaurant or going to a club in some kind of context.

So they really kind of noticed if the guy was protective.

And in fact, one couple that I interviewed, the woman, Grace, said that sort of what sealed the deal for her was that they were traveling in a subway in the metro,

And a guy approached them, looked like a homeless guy approached them and demanded, you know, their money and their iPhones.

And her then boyfriend kind of stood up, put himself between this guy and her, put his hand out and started screaming at the guy.

And then the final thing is just paying attention.

I think we live in an age that is digitally distracted.

And, you know, if you go into restaurants or college dining halls, you can see couples where like, you know, she and he are scrolling on their iPhones or things like that.

Or also too where like maybe the guy is not really giving an adequate level of attention compared to his friends or even other women obviously nowadays too.

And so it's gotta be very clear too that the guy is capable of giving her adequate attention in terms of his eyes, his mind, that he's thinking about what she's going through, what she's interested in, that he's very evidently kind of paying attention to her.

So for guys who want to find
