Episode guide

Online dating advice often turns self-respect into a performance: never text first, never show uncertainty, always appear in demand. This episode looks at how gendered scripts about the "high-value" man or woman can make ordinary honesty feel unsafe — and how attachment patterns can turn self-protection into distance.

You'll hear five practical shifts for replacing dating performances with clearer requests, mutual effort, and choices that actually fit you.
