17 - Stirling Cooper: Situationships, and What Makes Men Commit

Stirling Cooper returns to The Next Man Up with Coral Osborne to discuss modern dating, commitment, and intimacy. Stirling explains how men often sort women into “wifey,” “situationship,” or “secret” categories, noting a man’s readiness to commit depends on whether his “door” is open, often tied to financial stability and life stage. They explore how women can move between categories via accumulated green/red flags, and argue men primarily want peace, appreciation, respect (especially in public), and to feel useful, rather than drama or “challenges.” They critique waiting too long to define intentions, suggest asking direct questions before sex, and discuss sexual chemistry, teasing/anticipation, and enthusiasm as key to desirability. They cover social proof, status dynamics, “what do you bring to the table,” vulnerability vs trauma dumping, and announce Sterling’s upcoming guides for women, including a blowjob guide and “Wifey Formula Decoded.”EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Teaching Bedroom Performance📌 Optimal Courtship Formula📌 Secure vs Anxious Women📌 Cuckold Fetish Theory📌 The Art of TeasingEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH STIRLING 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stirlingcooperCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne
