    HYPERGAMY FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME

    HYPERGAMY FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME

    In this episode, we're taking on hypergamy, a.k.a. the idea that "marrying up" is innate to all women. What does it look like in practice? Why does it make men hate women and women hate other women? Why are terminally online clusters of incels the only ones talking about it? Is it even real? What is "rizz?"

    GET OFF THE APPS

    GET OFF THE APPS

    Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, etc., it's all so tiring. We recommend getting off of not just one of the apps, but ALL of the apps, getting outside, and meeting someone the old fashioned way. (Sending them psychic messages from across Kroger until they approach you to ask you out.)

    THE MYTHOS OF SELF-LOVE (AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS)

    THE MYTHOS OF SELF-LOVE (AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS)

    We're starting UNBOYFRIENDABLE 2.0 (Electric Boogaloo) off strong with a topic that the internet has already heard way too much about: Self-love—what's it mean? (Like for real and not some female you follow on IG using "self-love" to sell something or justify some mean girl behavior.) How can you use it to make not just yourself better, but a relationship, and how does self-knowledge play a role in determining boundaries? (I didn't listen to this back aside from spot-checking to fix levels, I hope it's not bad.)

    MINI: Non-Attachment

    MINI: Non-Attachment

    Here's a topic I'm bad at, but would like to be better at. It's non-attachment: what does it mean? What does it look like in practice? Listen and you'll find out, I guess.

    Jealousy with Dia Becker

    Jealousy with Dia Becker

    So, here we are: the topic no one wants to talk about but everyone knows all too well—JEALOUSY. Here's the case for it biologically and otherwise, because it actually ain't so bad. Listen to Dia Becker (@brokebutmoisturized) and I wax eloquently about our shortcomings and how we cope.
