Podcasts about dating myths

In this episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, Sabrina sits down with dating expert Damona Hoffman to unpack how fairy tales, rom-coms, and modern dating apps fuel obsession, fantasy, and anxious attachment. They break down why texting chemistry, dopamine loops, and “potential” keep people stuck in confusing dating dynamics—and how to shift from chasing sparks to choosing emotional safety, clarity, and real connection. If you're tired of mixed signals, hot-and-cold behavior, situationships, or questioning someone's attachment style, this conversation reframes dating through grounded psychology and nervous system awareness. You'll learn how to stop romanticizing unavailable partners, identify emotional unavailability early, and date with intention instead of fantasy—so you can build a healthy, secure relationship rooted in reality, not wishful thinking.

How do you navigate the complexities of modern dating without losing yourself? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, dating coach Sabrina Zohar shares her transformative approach to dating with authenticity and confidence. She highlights how so much of modern dating advice disconnects us from who we truly are, urging us to move past outdated games and instead focus on self-acceptance and healing. By prioritizing our own needs and boundaries, we can build relationships that are truly aligned with who we are. Sabrina also dives into the importance of non-negotiables and how letting go of relationships that no longer serve us is an act of self-love. She reframes rejection as redirection, helping us view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a personal failure. If you're ready to stop playing by outdated rules and start dating with clarity and self-respect, this episode will inspire you to show up as your authentic self—and trust that the right relationships will follow. ===   Have you watched our previous episode with Emilio Diez Barroso?

Sportscaster and TV personality Erin Andrews joins Jenna Bush Hager as co-host. The two welcome the newest Sports Illustrated cover star, Salma Hayek Pinault, to discuss appearing on the iconic cover and play a game of “Don't Look Back.” Then, Logan Ury, director of relationship science at Hinge, debunks common dating myths. Plus, country star Blake Shelton stops by to talk about his latest studio album.

Most people date the wrong way. They chase the spark, mistake attraction for compatibility, and expect their partners to read their minds. Then they wonder why relationships don't last. Logan Ury thinks about dating differently. As the Director of Relationship Science at Hinge, she's spent years studying what actually makes relationships work. Her findings will change the way you think about attraction, communication, and commitment. In this conversation, Logan reveals why the spark is overrated, how to optimize your dating profile, and the one thing (actually, 8) you must do after every first date. We break down attachment theory, orbiting, polyamory, and having hard conversations in a healthy way. We get answers to questions like: "what's an appropriate age gap?" and "what to say if you're not interested after a date?" Plus, Logan shares how she made the decision to be with her husband and the importance of “other significant others.”      If you want to stop wasting time on the wrong people and start building something real, this episode is for you.   (2:49) First Dates and the Slow Burn (8:07) The Post-Date 8 (14:30) Dating Like a Scientist (15:50) The Height thing...

Are you gettin' out onto the dating scene in 2025? Whether you're newly single, a refugee from the world of pickup, recently divorced, or you've been dating for a while now, there are a few myths we see as obsolete that we wanted to bust.Sex, dating, and relationships can be confusing territory, and there are a lot of dos and don'ts when it comes to dating in the modern world. This is especially true in a post-#MeToo culture, where a lot of men have deep-seated concerns around coming off as creepy.If you've ever wondered whether it's "right" to text her right away (will you come off as thirsty if you text too soon?), whether you need to hide your nervousness (hint: you don't), or how to ask her out respectfully, listen on.If you're looking for pickup artist nonsense, you won't get it here. But if you're seeking attuned, loving dating advice for men from people who deeply care about men, women, and all human beings -- and staying openhearted -- then you're in the right spot.---Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men 138: GirlTalk: When to text her vs. call her!Dear Men 274: How do you make sure you're not coming across as creepy?Dear Men 296: What does it actually mean to step into your power?Dear Men 332: Ever gone into freeze? Here's what's actually going on---Memorable quotes from this episode:"I don't want to ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable, so I want them to initiate and drive.""There's a belief that I need to hide my attraction or first establish a friendly relationship.""It's another type of pressure men carry about a certain way they have to be in order to be seen as worthy.""Seven years into your marriage you're still going to have to share something that's scary."

You know what drives me soooo crazy? Hearing men and women repeat the same dumb myths about relationships over and over again.  And I don't blame anyone for believing them. The fact is that society, romantic movies, and even our friends and family are responsible for spreading certain “facts” about love and dating that just aren't true. So today, I teamed up with my brother Stephen Hussey (co-writer of the "Get The Guy" book) to break down the top 5 annoying dating myths that need to end now.

In a discussion debunking dating myths, neuropsychotherapist Britt Frank and host Sabrina explore how the brain is involved with these false ideas. They challenge the myth that knowing why someone behaves a certain way will fix a relationship, emphasizing the importance of personal emotional responses over external explanations. They also address the misconception that triggers are others' responsibilities, suggesting that personal reactions need self-examination. The idea that being single will solve problems is debunked, encouraging curiosity about triggers instead. The duo highlights that texting doesn't necessarily indicate relationship intentions, stressing the need for contextual understanding and balanced brain chemistry in early dating stages. Finally, they discuss that people don't change for others unless it aligns with their core values, and adults can't truly be abandoned but can be left, advocating for personal agency in relationships.

For our ongoing series on romantic love, we wanted to get into something that's been in the mind of folks in all groups. Whether you're a pre-teen or someone who can afford to profess your love at LAX… many people have wanted to transition from being someone's friend to romantic partners, but it's a scary idea for many given it's downside. The phenomena itself has been discussed in media, and even researched thoroughly by others in recent years. Today on AirTalk, Austin Cross gets into the core tenets of the friend zone with Damona Hoffman, dating coach, host of the “Dates and Mates” podcast and author of the book “F the Fairy Tale: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story,” and Leah LeFebvre , researcher and associate professor of communication studies at the University of Alabama. Along with that, we'll also get into what ways someone can transition out of it. We'll also want to hear from you: share your “friend zone” experiences and failed/successful attempts by emailing atcomments@laist.com or call us at 866-893-5722.

Where did the idea of “happily ever after” or “finding the one” even come from in the first place? Is it even obtainable? What are some of the common myths that people buy into regarding dating and relationships? What are some of the ways people can break free from those dating myths and create the dating or love life they truly desire? About our guest: Damona Hoffman is a celebrity dating coach, host of the award-winning podcast Dates & Mates, and the official love expert of The Drew Barrymore Show. She has written dating columns for the LA Times and the Washington Post and worked as a dating expert and spokesperson for top dating apps including OkCupid, Match, and Bumble. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children. In F The Fairytale, Damona Hoffman dismantles the dating habits and beliefs that have been leading us astray—those notions of instant chemistry and the relentless quest for "the One." She points out how modern daters are clinging to outdated rulebooks that served our grandparents and parents well but have failed to adapt to the seismic shifts in technology and gender equality. Like many, I too once subscribed to these outdated ideals. The consequence? We find ourselves in an era with more single adults in the U.S. than ever before. But Damona empowers readers to shatter these limiting dating myths and seize control of their own love narratives. This isn't just another dating book; it's a refreshing exploration of how factors like race, class, and gender intersect with our dating lives. Dr. Drew Pinsky calls the book "entertaining, smart, and fun; the reader will find something here that speaks to them and enhances their dating lives."

Marni welcomes award-winning podcast host and author Damona Hoffman to the Life Check Yourself Studio, where the duo takes a deep dive into what the dating scene looks like today and what are some of the myths that need to be debunked. They delve into the importance of forging genuine connections by slowing down and reflecting on our dating beliefs. Touching on some of the misleading notions that many of us need to dismantle like the chemistry myth or the soulmate myth, the conversation serves as a new-age manifesto for how to make dating more hopeful and authentic.    Take a good, hard look at your dating beliefs How to rewrite your own love stories How to show up with intention    F the Fairytale  [10:09]   While it may not be evident, the way we date is passed down from generation to generation. That is, the dos and the don'ts, the etiquette and all that comes with the courting stage. Take a good hard look at your dating beliefs and question them. Why can't you send the first message? Why can't you, as a woman, initiate things?   Now our dating pools have expanded everywhere, and yet we're still playing by these old rules that no longer fit.    Why Are We So Obsessed with Chemistry? [18:05]   Chemistry when dating is a myth that can be damaging. Being curious about the person in front of you rather than holding on to that notion of chemistry is more likely to lead to better results or at the very least a genuine connection, if not a lasting one.   For the chemistry myth, the antidote is clear communication.    Dump the Pick-Me Attitude [23:47]   We all have this deep need to be liked, and it's a feeling that we're constantly chasing. It's been aggravated by social media where we're constantly trying to one-up each other and prove that we're better than this or that person.    We don't have to do all that if we are focusing on authentic connection. First of all, it's going to be a more interesting date for you. Second of all you're going to show up differently.    Make a Connection: 3 Secrets Men Wish You Knew *Free Download*  Are You Making These Unconscious Mistakes With Men? *Free Training*  Ready To Take Control Of Your Dating Life?  Book A Call With Us  F the Fairytale (Rewrite the Dating Myths and Rewrite Your Love Story)  

Happy Feast of the Ass for all who celebrate! A gay man is fed up with the guys who try to use the gym as their personal hook-up site. When the leering moves into harassment, should he tell management? Or is this just to be expected in gay male spaces?  A recently divorced straight man is hot to trot. He dates casually, but catches feelings so soon, that he scares off the women. How can he learn to take it slow?  On the Magnum, we are delighted to welcome Damona Hoffman back to the show. Listen in as these titans of the dating advice world chitty-chat, spar and dish it up together. Hoffman's new book "F THE FAIRY TALE: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story" is all about the myths we believe about dating, and how to cultivate a more realistic, successful approach to finding people.  And, a gay man hooked up with a much older man (with a giant penis, incidentally.) The man asked the caller if he would be into some BDSM. The caller has never been interested in kink, especially with someone he barely knows. But could "maybe, eventually" get there? How can he communicate his reticence, and still leave the door open, just a crack? Heh heh.
