    She Says Marriage Is a Business Transaction - Here’s Why

    In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating, I sit down with Jocelyn Cañas for an honest conversation about love bombing, boundaries, and what men and women may be getting wrong about modern relationships. We start with one of Jocelyn’s biggest dating pain points: love bombing. She describes it as someone trying to create an intense emotional connection too quickly through attention, gifts, constant communication, and saying all the right things before genuinely knowing you.  She shares a personal experience where the relationship started intensely, but once she became emotionally invested, the consistency disappeared and boundaries began being disrespected.  That leads us into an important question: When does effort become manipulation? We discuss why the version of yourself you present at the beginning of a relationship needs to be sustainable, and why people should date with honesty and intention instead of creating an unrealistic version of themselves just to win someone over.  We also have a deeper conversation about masculine and feminine roles. Jocelyn says she prefers a man who can take the lead, especially in the early stages of dating, because it allows her to feel more comfortable in her feminine energy, but she also emphasizes communication, transparency, and making sure both people actually agree on what “traditional” roles mean.  From there, things get even more interesting when we talk about money and marriage. Jocelyn says she would not want to financially support a man and explains why she believes women should still maintain some financial independence even if they have a partner capable of providing for them.  Then she gives one of the most provocative takes of the episode: Marriage should be viewed as a business transaction. Jocelyn explains why she believes women who want children should be extremely intentional about who they marry because pregnancy, motherhood, career impact, physical health, and mental health can create major sacrifices.  We also bring back Crazy or Not, where I give Jocelyn unconventional ideas that might, or might not, help fix modern dating. We debate: Should you run a background check before entering a relationship? Should couples share phone passcodes? Should couples share their locations 24/7? Should opposite-sex friendships be banned once you enter a relationship? The goal of Let’s Fix Modern Dating is not to blame men or women. It is to have honest conversations about what each side experiences, expose the misunderstandings between us, and find realistic ways to create healthier relationships. Question for the comments: Do you agree with Jocelyn that marriage should be treated more like a business decision? Or does that take the romance out of it?

    Women Only Notice 1 Out of 10 Men - Here's Why

    In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott, I sit down with Dana Erzha for an honest conversation about why dating feels so difficult and what we can actually do to make it better. Dana shares what she believes men are getting wrong in modern dating, including a lack of accountability, consistency, respect, and follow-through. We break down what women actually mean when they say they want a confident man, why confidence has less to do with money or status than many men think, and how a man can demonstrate leadership without becoming controlling. We also dive into one of the biggest disconnects between men and women: loneliness. I argue that women only notice 1 out of every 10 men they see. Due to this, they may feel lonely because they don't like the options available to them. However, a large number of men experience a completely different reality where they literally have no romantic options at all. Dana then explains why women may only notice a small percentage of the men around them and says confidence and “leader energy” can make a man stand out even if he isn't the best-looking or richest guy in the room. And for the first time, we introduce “Crazy or Not”, a new segment where I present unconventional ideas that could potentially fix modern dating and ask Dana whether they're brilliant…or completely crazy. The goal of Let’s Fix Modern Dating isn't to blame men or women. It's to understand the experiences both sides are having, identify where we're misunderstanding each other, and find practical ways to create better relationships. Question for the comments: Do women overlook too many good men? Or do men need to become better at making themselves stand out?

    Why Is Modern Dating So Broken? - with Guest Blu Fouch

    In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Blu Fouch for her third appearance on the show and one of our most honest conversations yet about modern dating. We start by discussing phone behavior in dating and whether keeping your phone face down should be considered a red flag. Blu explains why transparency matters so much to her and why a man being honest about dating other women can actually make her respect him more, not less.  From there, we get into whether couples should live together, the difference between being a true partner and simply becoming someone’s roommate, and how cohabitation can expose immaturity, poor habits, and a lack of consideration. Blu shares how living with a partner once made her feel more like a mother than a girlfriend, and why maintaining your own life and individuality is still important inside a relationship. The conversation then shifts into the biggest problems affecting the modern dating market. Blu reveals that she has gone on more than 60 dates in a year but genuinely liked only a few of them. She explains the patterns she sees in men who have not healed, constantly jump from one relationship to the next, and use new women to avoid being alone. We also debate why so many good men never receive the opportunity to prove themselves, why women may overlook average men who would treat them well, and how men can create attraction through healthy consistency, confident persistence, genuine effort, and intentional courtship. We close by discussing the importance of building a fulfilling life before expecting another person to complete it. A healthy relationship should add value to an already meaningful life, not become the only source of happiness, identity, or purpose. This episode is thoughtful, honest, and guaranteed to create debate. Let us know in the comments: Are women overlooking good men, or do men need to do a better job creating attraction?

    Why Men Should Work On Themselves First - with Guest Justin Brown

    In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Justin Brown again for another real conversation about modern dating, professionalism, and self-improvement. We start with something simple but powerful: professionalism.  We talk about why responding in a timely manner, telling the truth, showing up on time, and moving with respect says a lot about how much someone actually values you.  Justin also shares his thoughts on phone transparency in relationships, age gaps in dating, why women often don’t date the same type of man they claim they want, and why attraction has to be built before all the other relationship traits even matter.  We break down why so many men get frustrated in dating, how social media has distorted expectations, and why men need to focus less on resenting women and more on becoming the kind of man women are naturally attracted to. This episode also touches on why life is not always fair, but that still doesn’t excuse men from putting in the work. Justin gives a lot of honest perspective on what women respond to, why some women seem “crazy” with one man and peaceful with another, and how desperation in today’s dating market has inflated a lot of people’s self-perception. This was one of those episodes that blends dating advice and life perspective in a way that a lot of people are going to relate to.

    The Best Songs Come From Heartbreak - with Guest Harmony Shay

    In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with country singer and songwriter Harmony Shay for a conversation about music, heartbreak, and modern dating. Harmony shares her background growing up in Las Vegas, how she first discovered her voice as a kid, and why being on stage always felt like home. We talk about her journey from dance to singing, how performing arts helped shape her, and why music became the place where she could fully come alive. We also get into the songwriting process and how some of her best songs have come from heartbreak, disappointment, and real-life experiences. Harmony explains how she writes from personal emotion, why pain tends to inspire her the most, and how music becomes both her therapy and her way of helping other people feel seen.  She also talks about writing songs that are deeply relatable, the “downloads” that hit her when inspiration comes, and how she’s been able to create her own sound by blending country, pop, and rock influences into something that feels true to her. On the dating side, this episode gets very honest. Harmony opens up about how frustrating the modern dating market feels, why she believes too many men have stopped acting like men, and why transparency matters so much in relationships. This was a fun, honest, and very relatable conversation that touches on both music and relationships in a real way. If you enjoy conversations about creativity, heartbreak, ambition, and self-expression, this is an episode you’ll want to hear.

    Meeting In Person Over Dating Apps - with Guest Brittney Carter

    In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Brittney Carter for a real conversation about modern dating, dating apps, and emotional connection. Brittney shares her perspective on why meeting people in person still matters, why dating apps can feel superficial and disconnected, and what makes it hard to build real chemistry through a screen.  We talk about why emotional connection matters more than material flexing, why genuine conversation and intentionality go further than showing off money, and why so many people are craving something deeper in relationships. We also get into what a man needs to show for a woman to take him seriously, how men can take initiative without coming off cocky, and why character, humor, emotional intelligence, and follow-through matter so much more than surface-level attraction.  This episode also has some great practical dating advice around in-person approach dynamics, why so many potential relationships never happen because both sides get nervous, and how men can send better DMs by actually paying attention to a woman’s content instead of sending generic compliments.  This was one of those conversations that was both thoughtful and useful, especially for anyone trying to date with more intention in a world that often feels disconnected.

    The Reality Of Dating As A Single Mother - with Guest Diane Chantapanya

    In this episode of the Elite Level Status Podcast, I sit down with Diane Chantapanya for a real conversation about the reality of dating as a single mother. We start with the biggest challenges single moms face in dating, why time and emotional energy matter so much more when you already have a full life, and what men often misunderstand before dating a woman with children. This conversation goes deep into what it really means for a man to be emotionally available, why consistency and intention matter more than surface-level compliments, and how a man can actually earn a woman’s trust in the early stages of dating. Diane also explains why women are not looking for a savior, but for a partner who can make them feel safe enough to soften, communicate, and build something real. We also talk about co-parenting boundaries, emotional safety, not settling for bare minimum effort, and why love and alignment are not always the same thing. This was one of those episodes that really gets into the emotional side of modern relationships in a thoughtful, grounded, and mature way.
