by Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. | Mar 28, 2026 | Love, Men, Passion, Sexuality, Women

You know you deserve. You know she wants you. The time is now. You know it’s there—that love. The kind that doesn’t just warm your heart but sets your soul on fire. The kind that doesn’t ask you to shrink, to hide, or to pretend, but instead sees all of you: your...

Why Attraction Sometimes Betrays Us: Why Intelligent, Loving People Repeatedly Choose Relationships That Hurt Them

by Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. | Mar 28, 2026 | Love, Men, Relationships, Women

by Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. | Mar 27, 2026 | Love, Men, Women

Why making your desire unmistakable can change everything. The Man at the Grill It is a Saturday in late August, and there’s a man at the grill. He didn’t volunteer for the grill so much as drift toward it, the way certain men drift toward any job that gives...

The Traps, Pitfalls, and Downfalls of Modern Intimacy

by Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. | Mar 27, 2026 | Love, Men, Relationships, Women

RANDI FREDRICKS, PH.D.

Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. has an unusual habit of following interesting questions far beyond the point where most people would have stopped. The result is that she somehow spent her entire career trying to understand men, women, desire, love, and human flourishing. She never intended for it to get this out of hand, but somewhere along the way, things escalated into multiple books, original therapeutic models, published research, hundreds of chapters, and an alarming number of trademark applications. Welcome to the madness, where the sacred and the obscene do the dance of love.
