Heartbreak happens when you follow the so-called dating rules and you still don't end up with the #relationshipgoals you desire. 

These rules, just like most societal constructs out there today, aren’t designed for women to win. They’re rooted in patriarchal beliefs so that women don’t rise too high beyond their station. 

Dating advice is usually about how not to scare off the man somehow: double-texting will overwhelm him. Don’t make yourself too available for him so that he’ll desire you more. Be smart but not smarter than him. Be successful but not more successful than him because he’ll be intimidated and won’t see you as desirable. So either men are walking pieces of milquetoast or women are to be kept down.

In this episode, I break down 3 reasons why I believe dating is a bunch of bollocks and what 1 key thing we can replace it with.
