In this episode of Getting Inside the Right Male Mind, Lisa Shield and Benjamin Shield explore why asking a man for commitment—when done the wrong way—can quietly stall or even reverse momentum. For successful women, asking for clarity feels responsible and efficient. But from a man’s perspective, that same conversation can register as pressure, dissatisfaction, or an unspoken performance review—especially when he believes he’s already demonstrating commitment through his actions. This conversation reframes commitment as a process men experience internally before they verbalize it, and explains how women can invite deeper connection without triggering anxiety, defensiveness, or withdrawal. If you’re navigating online dating or long-term dating and want your relationships to progress with the same intention and intelligence you bring to the rest of your life, this episode provides a smarter, more effective framework.
