    Ivy Insights

    The Mating Habits of the Modern Geek podcast holds a special place in my heart. Not only is the premise of the show amazing and fun, but my own experience collaborating and featuring in some of the archived episodes has created lasting memories for me. This podcast truly helped me break out of my introverted shell by allowing me to share experiences and gain valuable introspection in my interactions with others. It goes beyond just potential romantic relationships and extends to everyday encounters. Thanks to this podcast and my involvement in it, I have grown as a person, becoming someone who not only engages through screens but also actively participates in work and personal functions. I have even had the opportunity to put together and host a few events over the past couple of years. Congratulations to Kelley on her recent love and life upgrades! She deserves all the happiness she has received. To the rest of the MHMG crew, be well, stay safe, and keep embracing your geekiness. Love you guys.

    One of the best aspects of The Mating Habits of the Modern Geek podcast is its ability to provide quality introspection on relationships and interactions with others. It goes beyond just romantic relationships and delves into all kinds of daily encounters. The hosts bring humor, insight, and a deep understanding of geek culture to each episode, making it both informative and entertaining. Whether you're single or in a relationship, there is something valuable to take away from this podcast.

    While The Mating Habits of the Modern Geek podcast offers great advice on relationships and dating within geek culture, one criticism is that it focuses primarily on getting a date rather than addressing the challenges geeks face when trying to meet someone initially. The podcast assumes listeners already have a potential date lined up, which may not always be the case for many individuals within this community. Adding an episode that specifically tackles how to overcome barriers in meeting potential partners would be beneficial.

    In conclusion, The Mating Habits of the Modern Geek podcast is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in navigating relationships and dating in the geek world. The hosts bring humor, insight, and relatability to their discussions, making it engaging for listeners. While there are some areas that could be expanded upon, overall, this podcast provides valuable advice and fosters a sense of community among geeks. I highly recommend giving it a listen if you're looking for guidance or just want to embrace your inner geekiness.

Kevin breaks down the question of Looks vs Personality by comparing it to Random Encounters vs Boss Battles in video games.  The better looking folks may have more random encounters, but good personalities can get you to the boss battles, which are the one's with the best "item drops." Oh, and The Business is the "Quiet Storm" for no reason whatsoever. We flip tables over bad planning, media haters, and The Red Pill movement, like you do
