This week, we are deep-diving into the ever-chaotic, occasionally cursed, always confusing world of modern dating. From hot takes on hookup culture to the psychosis of swiping while emotionally spiraling, nothing is off-limits. Nashville’s transient dating pool, gym crush ethics, and why men should be legally required to approach women with confidence. Yeah, we went there.
We’re unpacking the mental gymnastics of the “roster era,” the false promise of dating apps, and the tiny digital checkmarks that send us over the edge. There’s also a passionate PSA about the art of dropping the handkerchief, a CrossFit ambush at the park, and a group debate about whether Love Island is actually the most accurate reflection of today’s dating scene (spoiler: it might be).
Expect emotional chaos, sharp commentary, and the kind of best friend banter that will make you text your group chat mid-episode.
Rate & review if you laughed, cried, or deleted Hinge during this episode. Follow us on socials, slide into our DMs (unless you're sending the checkmark), and welcome back to the collective spiral.
