Hans Comyn: Western vs. Eastern Dating Culture | 193
Is there a difference between Western vs. Eastern dating culture?
Last time Hans Comyn was on the podcast he shared a controversial opinion that ruffled some listeners’ feathers— that Western men are better off dating non-Western women.
We discuss this point of view and some key questions such as:
Why is dating different in East vs West?
Are men attracted to traditional women?
Is choice of women related to standards? Or culturization? Or some other unconscious factor?
Dating in a a small town vs city?
Is success more important than failure?

Dark night of the soul
Great job on the dark night of the soul episode, especially the material about practicality and honorable integrity. I’m a Carmelite friar (j of c was a Carmelite friar) thinking about leaving my community (very impracticable!) because something is not aligned with my conscious. Alignment with the unconscious, that is an interesting way to understand the dark night experience. Good comprehension!
A podcast for helping out of mental anguish.
The Ruwando podcast explores territories few podcasts I am aware of do. No nonsense honest approach to explaining mythology and sub conscious amongst other subjects. Keep up the great work!
Digs Deep
This podcast expands my mind, my thinking, my understanding. The subjects are specific and Ruwan likes to go deep in to them. Personally, I love exploring how our minds work with “living”, this being alive stuff, both individually, so that I can better understand myself, and interpersonally, so I can see more clearly what drives our collective behavior. Ruwan is a not so old wiseman with a fearless curiosity to explore.
