    Jared Freid Explains the Different Types of SINGLE

    Jared Freid is back on Ask a Matchmaker to talk about his new book, Walking Red Flag, and why most dating advice completely misses the average guy's perspective. Jared and Maria dive into the "types of singles," why family setups may be better than dating apps, the difference between "main street" and "alleyway" dating, and whether social media is making dating harder than it needs to be. They also debate TikTok dating rules, the taxi cab theory, Snapchat requests, Uber expectations, and why "if he wanted to, he would" might be terrible advice. Plus, Jared plays a rapid-fire round of "Walking Red Flag or Overthinking It?" and gives his take on some of the internet's favorite dating debates.   Support the sponsors, support the show!

    Why Ambitious Women Get Rejected More ft Stefanie O'Connell

    Can ambition ruin a relationship? Matchmaker Maria sits down with author and journalist Stefanie O'Connell  to unpack why ambitious women are still being labeled "too much" in dating, work, and marriage. They discuss the research behind men pulling away when women out-earn them, why women still do more household labor even when they make more money, and how "provider mentality" can sometimes really mean control. Maria also shares what she's seeing in modern dating, from men wanting "ambitious women" until they actually meet one, to the rise of trad wife content and 27-year-olds panicking over finding a husband. Plus, they answer a listener question from a NYC finance executive whose boyfriend admitted he was intimidated by her career success.

    Wired to Connect: The Science of Love, Lust & Fidelity with Kinsey Institute Director Dr. Justin Garcia

    Maria Avgitidis sits down with Justin Garcia, PhD of the Kinsey Institute to break down the science behind modern dating, ghosting, dating apps, attraction, AI in dating, hookup culture and relationships. Maria and Justin get into why over 70% of singles have fallen for someone they usually wouldn't think they'd be attracted to and why Gen Z says they value authenticity yet nearly 50% of them are using AI in their dating lives. They discuss whether first-date chemistry is overrated, why ghosting may actually may come from fear of rejection and conflict, and the difference between social monogamy and sexual monogamy. Plus, Justin shares the Kinsey Institute's research on emojis, sexting, hookup culture, pair bonding, and why "the grass is greener where you water it" may be the most important dating advice singles need right now! 📚Check out Justin's new book, The Intimate Animal, today!   Support the sponsors, support the show!
