"Marry Him! The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough" by Lorie Gottlieb inspired my previous episode on the previous episode about the balance between settling and being too picky as a millennial. Here's a reading of that article. An Excerpt: "They [the mothers in the mommy and me class], like me, would rather feel alone in a marriage than actually be alone, because they, like me, realize that marriage ultimately isn’t about cosmic connection—it’s about how having a teammate, even if he’s not the love of your life, is better than not having one at all".

Where do we draw the line between being too picky and having standards? It's hard for people in their 20s to reconcile the vision they had of their lives, and the reality that our economy and job market offer. I myself have been too picky in the past due to a past emotionally abusive relationship, but have also not been picky enough; ergo this podcast.Music by Alma Sever https://m.soundcloud.com/alma-sever

The most breakups all year happen around the weeks before and after Valentine's Day. Due to pressures of the day, expectations, and the magnification of current problems, the day that most singles dread, should actually be the day most couples dread. After exploring the psychology of Valentine's Day, I got into why it's actually better to be single in your 20s than in a relationship. Music by Alma Sever https://m.soundcloud.com/alma-sever

For the last half of my 3 year relationship, I was in an emotional abusive relationship. I didn't realize it or the affect it had on me until years later. This my story of how I discovered I was able to find love and was allowed to love as a gay person, and how the love I received degraded into something so toxic and unhealthy, that it still lives with me to this day. I hope this episode can help others recognize abusive tendencies so they can get out of emotional abusive relationships, and also to start on discussion on a topic that is generally overlooked by society.

A lot of people complain about not getting matches or being able to have dates, but have they ever considered that maybe they're partially the problems? It's shocking how many bad dating profiles I've come across, and how many mistakes my friends make.

"Lesbian Speed". "U-Haling". Whatever you want to call it, there's a stereotype that lesbians move fast in relationships. Real fast. But the question is why? After doing some digging around, I found some pretty interesting theories about internalized lesbianphobia, and developed a few of my own theories as to why lesbians tend to fall into the unhealthy habit of moving too fast.
