Today we’re diving deep into what it means to be attracted to the right stuff—not just in theory, but in practice. Historically, relationships were built on duty, sacrifice, and clarity. Men were providers and protectors; women were nurturers and builders of family legacy. It wasn’t about vibes or romance—it was about purpose, survival, and legacy. Fast forward to today, and culture has flipped the script. Men are being demasculinized. Women are told to be independent at all costs. Masculinity is seen as threatening. Roles are blurred and expectations are unclear. What should men and women really be looking for in a partner? Why are we often attracted to things that don’t actually lead to strong, lasting relationships? If you’ve ever felt lost in the modern dating scene—or unsure about what you should actually be looking for—this episode is for you.
