1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Applauses)

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I asked to turn up the light
so that I can see you as well.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We are talking about 
relationships after all.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the most important thing
in a relationship, man

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is to see your wife.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can see who is married
in a restaurant,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or who is dating.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If a man is dating a woman
he's looking right at her.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He's got one goal.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laugher)

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And once he's climbed
that mountain you can relax.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You see the married man 
looking around.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Quite often somebody else got 
his attention.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Haven't seen her before.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It doesn't mean 
he doesn't love her

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
his wife.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It just mean he's never
saw that before.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We all do this as we are going
to vacations

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to lovely spots, new places

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting off the plain here in Bend
it was blown away

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by the beautifull mountain.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's exiting.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because someone new and different

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it stimulates our brain chemical
called dopamine.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And dopamine gives us motivation,
it gives us pleasure

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it gives us focus.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it gives us, happiness in a
relationship, passion.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When we fall in love with somebody

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is literally like we are high 
on drugs.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Maybe you don't remember

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you've been married for
28 years like I have,

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but, I remided living
with my youngest daughter

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who is in that first 
"falling in love stage"

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with her "live in".

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They're planning! They're planning!

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But she is a modern woman,

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she wants to be completely financial
self-sufficient

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
before she gets married.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As the new woman!

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She wants to be sufficient.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yes! Yes! We all wanna be 
self sufficient.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We all wanna be independent,
and then from place of wholeness

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
come together.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's a new world.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'm gonna talk
about that new world today.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The most important thing 
to understand is

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this brain chemical thing
dopamine.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Cause when you haven't met someone,
before you are getting to know them

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all the ingredients are there
to stimulate dopamine.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Newness.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And there's no history.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where are we going with this?

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What's gonna happen?

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And that stimulates this 
brain chemical

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and in man, dopamine stimulates
a hormone calls testosterone.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, men testosterone
levels are searching.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The average man in 50
have half testoterone levels he had

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as a young man.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It starts to drop.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lot of things contribute to that,
but one of the things is: marriage.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know, I'm 62 but 
I went to the 50's with my friends

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and several of my friends got divorce

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the came alive!

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not recomending divorce 
to come alive.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I am recomending learning
new relationships skills

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to come alive in 
your marriage.

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But it's like, when you 
were somebody new

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just going to somewhere new,
being with somebody new

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it stimulates dopamine,

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and for men dopamine
stimulates testosterone.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And for men, testosterone
lowers stress.

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't mean stress in your life,
life is always stressful.

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Problems are everywhere.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But how do we react to life
is depending

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on our hormone
respondes to life.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And for men, testosterone
is the hormone

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that helps men keeps 
their stress levels down.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Most people don't know this
but, I learned this...

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
30 years ago I was reading...

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
20 years ago, maybe 30 
something in there

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was about to see the movie
"The Grumpty Old Man"

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I was also reading 
the differences

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
between young man and old man

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was that men testosterone level
go down.

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then, I made the link.

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Gumpty Old Man.

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Think about men when
they haven't been laid for a while.

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They get grumpty.

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we always thought 
that testosterone caused

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all that irrability.

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But actually for men, it's estrogen.

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's all those grumpty
old man

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have super high 
estrogen levels

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and low testosterone.

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Who knew?!

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of the biggest 
risk factors for heart disease,

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prostate cancer for men
is low testosterone.

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All men, with depression
have low testosterone.

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And that's why depression 
is very different

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from man than 
from woman.

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Depression for a man
is that feeling

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"nobody wants me", 
"I am not needed anymore",

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"basically, I'm out of work",

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"nobody there to respond for me"

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"nobody there for me to fix,

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
help, serve, support".

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, been out of work 
is the major depression for man

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or being in a marriage
where you feel you can't

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do anything to make
your partner happy.

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I get to see it as a marriage
counselor for over 30 years

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people often on their last exit.

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Cause I am famous people say:

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Oh, you gotta see him"

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so I get the tough cases.

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But it's a challenge.

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And what I hear again and again
for man.

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I take the man outside,

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"What is the problem here?,
what's going on here?,

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If we can fix one problem,
what would that be?"

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"John, the only problem here is 
my wife is not happy".

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's it.

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, I do these seminars, workshops
for like 4 days

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we started out
men in one room, women in the other.

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Without my influence, the men
write down complaints about

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
their wifes, relationships, women
in one room.

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Women do it in another room.

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then we spend the whole 4 days
working on that.

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And men have one sheet,
and women have 5.

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And men's list is one or two words.

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Critical, complaints, nags, punishes,
not interested in sex"

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's the longest one they
come out with.

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's a list over there.

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And women got all this lists,
get a big long list

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everything is a long sentences,
and if this thing and all that stuff.

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And men go
"See?"

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I got a few claps which 
I'm not asking for

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but that's what excites man.

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I made a difference.

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So men love their dogs so much.

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I come home, 
my dog is happy and I'm alive!

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It touches something so deep
inside of every man

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That the whole evolution of men
where like out there

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the dangerous world.

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you came home alive, they 
celebrate it.

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now it's like 
"Oh, he's back".

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"You know, you left the lights
on the living room last night

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
before you left"

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's what I get!

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If she was just happy...

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What a man thinks

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"If she was just the way she was
when I married her".

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
See, when man get married
they stay the same,

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as If you can.

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And realize women would never
be the same.

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They are like the weather.

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's always changing!

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sunshine, blue clouds, puffy clouds

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
blue sky, puffy clouds.

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Rain storms, lightning strikes,
hurracains.

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tornadoes!

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now If you are from Mars

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you have this instincts that
you are the worst thing

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when you were with the Venusian.

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
See, in Mars when there's tornadoes,
what do we do?

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We find a ditch and lay low.

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not what women expect
you to do.

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When that tornadoe comes in 
you are supposed to stand in there.

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Is something the matter?"

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And If you read it in my books

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when every cell in your body says

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I can't take it anymore"

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I gotta find a ditch and lay low"

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Let me get my car and drive
somewhere"
