In this monologue, relationship coach Sami Wunder explains that men often stop pursuing a woman when they recognize they cannot provide the level of relationship she deserves. Because many men— even those who are healthy and empowered—are reluctant to state this directly, they instead signal their decision by pulling back and reducing the effort they invest in the relationship. Sami outlines that this withdrawal is usually driven by situational factors and expresses a wish that men would communicate their intentions more openly, rather than leaving women to interpret the subtle cue of diminished effort.

Chapters

You could be an amazing woman, totally worth the chase, but a man will stop the chase, stop pursuing a woman, when he has a recognition of his incapability to give you the kind of relationship you deserve. If you find that men are withdrawing from you, it could be because of these situational reasons. I so wish men would openly communicate with women that this is what's going on for them, but the sad truth is that a lot of the times, even healthy, empowered men will not communicate this truth to you. And the way they will communicate with you is basically by reducing their effort for you.
