In this episode, Marko and Steve dive into the nuanced ways that external influences—like friends, family, societal norms, and even aspects of queer culture—can shape who we date and how we approach relationships. They explore how these pressures can show up subtly or overtly, from internalized ideals about attractiveness and gender roles to the expectations of chosen or biological families. The conversation also considers the potential harm of letting these outside voices drive personal relationship decisions, especially when they lead to choices that aren’t aligned with one's authentic needs or desires. To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.
