Come for the nuance, stay for the vibes. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://hyphenly.beehiiv.com What do Pedro Pascal, a bad Hinge date, and the rom-com Materialists have in common? They all expose the messy math of modern love. In this solo episode of Love-ly, Mehak spills on the good, the cringe, and the downright bizarre of dating in 2025, from men asking for exclusivity after a single dinner to the exhausting cycle of deleting and redownloading apps. Along the way, she breaks down Materialists (starring Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans) and why movies keep trapping women in false binaries between money and passion, stability and desire. Spoiler: the real power move isn’t choosing him, it’s choosing yourself. Funny, raw, and painfully relatable, this episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “if he wanted to, he would” and then realized capacity matters more than desire.
