ADVICE

Speak With Actionable Steps Not Hints

  • Give men actionable information: state the importance, the desired action, the steps, timing, and ask what they need in return.
  • Alison's script: explain what it is, what it looks like in three steps, when you need it, then ask what he needs.
INSIGHT

Trash Is Twenty Tasks Not One

  • 'Taking out the trash' is many steps, not one task; men focus on single goals so they miss unstated sub-steps like bag checks, cinching, replacing liners, and closing cabinets.
  • You must spell out each sub-step or it won't become reliable.
ADVICE

Demonstrate Deserving Before Expecting Love

  • Write down what 'feels like love' and then demonstrate commitment to those needs; men decide capability and honor before acting.
  • Show you deserve it by actions that prove your commitment, otherwise men won't risk giving what they can't reliably provide.
