Give Me A Buzz MIK MADE

This week, Inspired Unemployed alum Dom Littrich (he/him) joins the girls to get a man’s perspective on some hard-hitting questions. What does masculinity mean in 2024? How do you toe the line between being chivalrous and cringe? And do guys get intimidated by sex toys in the bedroom? There’s a lot to unpack and these three get into it ALL. 

The DM this week comes from someone asking about when to know whether you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, and the mindset you should be in when you use Bumble.
