    FROM HARD MEN TO SOFT MEN: GENTLE OR WEAK GENERATION?

    In this episode of Someone Had to Say It, Olaoluwa and Temitope sit down for one of the most important conversations happening right now: the rise of the "soft man." We're not here to throw stones — we're here to ask the questions most people are too afraid to ask out loud.Are men today becoming emotionally intelligent, or are they simply responding to a world where traditional male dominance is fading? Is the gentleness we're seeing genuine growth, or a survival mechanism dressed up as emotional maturity?We go deep on why women say they want sensitive, emotionally available men — and why that same sensitivity can quietly kill attraction over time. We talk about toxic masculinity, unlearning generational trauma, and whether the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction.In this episode, we discuss:What "soft" actually means — and why the definition mattersWhether emotional intelligence in men is growth or a reaction to lost powerWhy women lose attraction to the sensitive men they claim to wantThe difference between toxic masculinity and genuine strengthWhat a healthy, godly man looks like in today's worldHow to raise boys who are strong and emotionally safeThis episode is for you if:You're a man trying to figure out where you stand in a rapidly changing worldYou're a woman who's confused about what you actually want in a partnerYou're a parent raising boys and wondering how to get the balance rightYou're a Christian couple navigating masculinity and femininity in modern culture🎧 LISTEN ON:Youtube: https://youtu.be/H-GUSuw_EPQApple Podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbU9pR1VjLUxQY1FrNHJMMlA4ejBKSnFjOTB5UXxBQ3Jtc0ttZWZSMGgwOUlqaGxXdUhWbTMwLXlFeWp4aFNRTjJFcUlZcTMzempFMnRtR0VOMmxMT3g0ZTlrN1lWQXNrMVJSbWE0Q1JGR1ZySFFfcW5KOVR2MUw1bE9pOFRWenFNbGt0V29uX1h1d1lhcFVEUkhUWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fsomeone-had-to-say-it%2Fid1798080321&v=KhA67AXSV7I📲 FOLLOW US FOR MORE:Instagram: @someonehadtosayit.podTikTok: @someonehadtosayit.pod#SoftMen #Masculinity #ChristianPodcast #Manhood #ToxicMasculinity #GodlyMan #RelationshipAdvice #NigerianPodcast #AfricanDiaspora #SomeonHadToSayIt #FaithAndRelationships #EmotionalIntelligence #ChristianCouples #MarriageAdvice #MenAndWomen

    MORE THAN WHAT YOU'RE WEARING - THE MODESTY CONVERSATION

    Welcome to this seasons finale of Someone Had to Say It! with Olaoluwa and Temitope Oladokun.In this episode, we’re unpacking a topic that’s been quietly controversial in Christian circles for years: modesty. Is it just about how we dress—or is there more to it?Join us as we dive deep into the modesty conversation, asking the uncomfortable but necessary questions, like:What really comes to mind when we hear “modesty”—and where did those ideas originate?Has modesty been reduced to fashion policing instead of cultivating a posture of the heart?Where’s the line between confidence and showing off in a Christian context?When does personal expression (fashion, makeup, aesthetics) cross into vanity or distraction?Are men held to the same modesty standards, or is this a gendered expectation?How can we teach modesty in a way that’s both biblically grounded and compassionately framed?This episode is for anyone who’s ever wrestled with the tension between personal style and spiritual values. Whether you’ve been judged, done the judging, or are simply trying to understand how modesty fits into today’s faith walk—we’re talking about it.Because maybe modesty isn’t just about what’s on your body… but what’s going on in your heart.🎧 LISTEN ON:Youtube: https://youtu.be/ewpZSH80UdAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 FOLLOW US FOR MORE:Instagram: @someonehadtosayit.podTikTok: @someonehadtosayit.podLet us know in the comments:What shaped your view of modesty growing up?

    TOO PICKY IN DATING? HOW TO BALANCE STANDARDS AND LOVE

    Welcome back to Someone Had to Say It! with Olaoluwa and Temitope Oladokun. In this episode, we’re tackling a hot topic in modern relationships: Is there such a thing as being too picky in dating? Join us as we dive into the nuances of dating standards, exploring when pickiness is a strength and when it might hold you back from meaningful connection. We unpack: What does "picky" really mean? Is having high standards a bad thing, or a sign of self-respect? Healthy standards vs. unrealistic expectations: Where’s the line between knowing your worth and chasing a delusion disguised as a preference? Fear in modern dating: Are people more afraid of settling for the wrong partner or facing loneliness? The “ick” factor: Have you ever passed on a great person over a minor flaw or unmet expectation? Choosing well for marriage: What does it mean to make a wise, intentional choice for a lifelong partner? This episode is for anyone navigating the dating world, wrestling with their standards, or seeking clarity on how to choose a partner with purpose. We explore how fear, faith, and modern dating culture shape our decisions, offering practical and spiritual insights for building lasting connections. Because dating isn’t just about finding “the one”, it’s about choosing well. 🎧 LISTEN ON: Youtube: https://youtu.be/tN3EsZfkTvk Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 📲 FOLLOW US FOR MORE: Instagram: @someonehadtosayit.pod TikTok: @someonehadtosayit.pod Let us know in the comments: What’s been your biggest challenge in balancing standards and openness in dating?
