What does it really take to open your heart after heartbreak or divorce? Why do we attract certain types of partners, and how can we break free from guardedness to find authentic connection? How much should we share about our past traumas, and when is the right time to get real about what we truly want in a relationship? In Episode 417 of The Charisma Quotient, "Unlocking Love After Loss: Real Talk with Real Bachelors," you'll get a special look at Kimmy's new show Dating Real Talk where Kimmy and her co-host Allison Melody, and special guests Doug and Mark—two real-life bachelors sharing candid insights.

 

This episode explores the heightened emotions and drama of the "Golden Bachelor," but quickly goes beyond TV to extract powerful lessons for anyone dating in their second act. Kimmy Seltzer leads a lively discussion with co-host Allison Melody and two real-life bachelors, Doug Bass and Mark Primiano, about body language, pressure in dating, and the pitfalls of seeking commitment too soon, connecting reality show moments to what actually happens in the world of dating after divorce. The group tackles the differences (and surprising similarities) between men and women when it comes to vulnerability, attraction, and the pain of love lost. Plus, Doug and Mark reveal what it feels like to date post-divorce, how trauma and guardedness affect their desire for openness, and the lively banter around authentic connection versus superficial "fun." 

 

 You'll hear:

  • The real-life male perspective on dating after divorce (what's different, what's hard, and what's hopeful)

  • Insights from watching and dissecting "The Golden Bachelor"—and what applies to your own dating life

  • How to recognize body language cues that reveal true feelings (and the risks of ignoring them)

  • Candid discussion on when (and how) to share your past traumas with a new partner

  • The power of authenticity, self-love, and real energy in attracting the right relationship
