Do Men View Exclusivity Same As Commitment?
Recently I recorded a podcast about exclusivity and when to bring it up to men, but there was something missing. What was missing was how men view the words exclusivity in relation to commitment because men and women often think of those two words differently.
Here’s the thing, commitment is an often under-discussed conversation in the dating realm and women often fear bringing it up because they are often scared men will leave. Commitment is so under-discussed these days that it can be the number one reason why most relationships end up failing.
In today’s podcast, we are going to explore the DEEPER conversation when it comes to exclusivity and commitment to shed light on the differences between men & women.
Let’s talk about… Do Men View Exclusivity Same As Commitment?

Hi Jonathon! Great podcast re. commitment. When I asked my most recent SO what a relationship meant to him on our 2nd or 3rd date, he started describing sexual positions …. gaaahhh. Sensing my astonishment (mouth agape, eyebrows raised), he quickly recanted with a slightly shallow sounding description of his needs. We had much in common and an alluring chemistry, and it took a while for me (too long) to wise up and realize that it was all about him, and that would always be the case. Thanks for being the “spy guy” !!
Happy to hear this resonated with you… much appreciated.
Jonathan, I recently entered into an exclusive relationship with a great man. I took your advice to heart and before having sex, I initiated the talk about exclusivity. I told him I really liked him and that I wanted to see where this relationship would go. I said I was going to take my profile down. He agreed. The next morning, I logged onto my profile to take it down but before I did, I wanted to take a look at our chats as a reminder of what led to this and I realized that he had already taken his profile down! That simple action made me so happy! I quickly took my own profile down.
We are taking things slow -mostly because of covid – and we continue to see each other regularly and talk or chat every day. I don’t know if he is “the one” but we are becoming very close. I miss him on days when I don’t see him….
Someone recently said that to really know if someone is the right partner for you, that you must spend at least 4 seasons (aka 1 year) together getting to know each other. Do you agree?
My perspective… getting to know someone is a lifetime endeavor. And 12 months of regular activities is a fair enough time to get familiar with someone.
