AJ and Johnny sit down with Paul Eastwick, relationship scientist and author of Bonded by Evolution, to unpack what modern dating has gotten wrong — and what the science actually says about love, attraction, and connection. They explore how online dating has distorted our view of desirability, why the search for “the perfect person” makes us miserable, and how real connection comes from shared time, not algorithms. Paul breaks down how our brains evolved for small-group bonding — not endless swiping — and reveals the truth about compatibility, attachment, and the misunderstood “friend zone.” From evolutionary psychology to modern dating anxiety, this conversation is a masterclass in how to build real relationships in a world built on comparison.

Marc and Kim welcomed Nicole Murray for her Friday update, mixing news, finance, and fun conversation. After checking in with Trent Erickson about his smooth radio voice and decades in broadcasting, the trio dove into Nicole's reports on St. Louis office vacancies, Boeing's labor deal, a contaminated Super Greens recall, and Verizon's outage credit. The segment turned lively as Nicole revealed a survey showing Millennials and Gen Zers lying about finances on dates, sparking a spirited debate over honesty, chivalry, and personal responsibility in modern relationships. Marc defended traditional dating manners and raising his son to show respect, while Kim and Nicole weighed independence against old-school values — all with plenty of humor and good-natured ribbing. #MarcCoxShow #NicoleMurray #DatingEtiquette #Chivalry #FinancialHonesty #GenZ #Millennials #BusinessNews #StLouis

In this episode, I critique the "Blackpill" as a comfortable blanket of victimhood for men, contrasting genetics with the learnable skill set of social circle game. I emphasize that women are attracted to pre-selection and status, arguing that showing other women choose you provides access to elite networks that cold approach cannot reach. I dismiss manifestation and The Secret as philosophies for the lazy, instead advocating for a mindset rooted in the "altar of action" and evolutionary psychology.

In this insightful episode of Radio Medium with Laura Lee, Andrea from Virginia receives powerful guidance from a mother in spirit who steps forward with loving — yet direct — advice about life, love, and movement forward. Spirit first appears, referencing past mobility challenges, using them as a symbolic reminder for Andrea not to remain “stuck” — physically, socially, or emotionally. The message quickly shifts to modern dating, where spirit humorously notes Andrea's detailed research habits on dating apps, revealing her strong desire for genuine connection. This reading encourages stepping out from behind the screen and into real-world experiences. Spirit highlights an upcoming concert as a pivotal moment, urging Andrea to “get up and out,” take the lead, and allow opportunities for connection to unfold naturally. Messages also acknowledge emotional hesitation around divorce and widowhood — not as obstacles, but as reasons why patience and initiative will be key. If you've been wondering whether love will find you — or if you need to move first — this episode delivers clarity, humor, and hope.

Why Modern Dating Feels So Empty (So Choose Yourself First). Do you feel like you're constantly swiping but never connecting? Modern dating often feels less like romance and more like a marketplace. We have more options than ever, yet we feel more disconnected and lonely. In this video, we explore the deep psychology behind why we keep attracting the wrong people and why "swiping right on yourself" is the only way to break the toxic cycle. Picture this: you open a dating app, and instead of swiping right on someone else, you swipe right on becoming the better version of yourself. How would that change the way you show up? Today, our dating culture runs on quick swipes and fast decisions. We move from one profile to the next, hoping the right match will appear. But in all the searching, we're so focused on finding the right person that we rarely stop to ask if we're actually ready to be one. This matters because today we feel more disconnected than ever. Ghosting has become routine. Conversations stay on the surface. And a lot of us leave dates feeling confused or drained instead of understood. The issue isn't only the apps - it's the mindset we bring into them. Many of us go in without a clear sense of who we are, what we want, or what we're ready to give. In this video, we'll talk about what it really means to choose yourself first in a stronger, healthier way.. And just to be clear, we are not against dating apps or modern ways of meeting people. It's about using them from a place where you've already chosen yourself first. Topics covered in this podcast - 00:00 – 02:05 – Introduction 02:05 – 05:34 - Why Dating Feels Different Today 05:34 – 07:49 - How Dating Apps Changed Us 07:49 – 10:09 - The Psychology Behind It 10:09 – 15:23 - What Philosophy Teaches Us About Love 15:23 – 18:03 - Putting This Into Practice 18:03 – 20:48 - The Barriers That Hold You Back 20:48 – 22:24 - Conclusion I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope after watching this, you will start choosing yourself first.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Paul Elam for this enlightening conversation. Paul is a well known advocate for men's rights. He is the founder of ‘A Voice for Men' - the international conference on men's issues. He inspired the making of ‘The Red Pill' movie that aired in 2016. He's been a men's advisor and counselor for many decades now, and I appreciate how deeply he cares about supporting men.It was a pleasure to talk to him and I learned so much - I know you will too!We unpack the hidden assumptions about dating and marriage in the west under the ‘romantic model.' We also spend time getting to the bottom of why men are still so misunderstood in the west and what men need now more than anything.Listen in to learn about the origins of the romantic model, different priorities of men and women, what's missing from the mythopoetic movement, the change in male consciousness, the biggest killer of men, what a woman owes her marriage, being a ‘guardian of respect,' and so much more.Connect With Paul:Via X: https://x.com/RealPaulElamVia Substack: https://paulelam.substack.com/XY Crew: https://paulelam.com/xycrew/TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro & Preview: "Coddled Princesses" 00:32 — Welcome: Introducing Paul Elam01:53 — A Brief History of the Men's Movement 02:36 — From 1920s Protests to the Mythopoetic Movement 04:36 — The "Red Pill" Explosion & Its Flaws 05:49 — The Missing Piece: Accountability for Women 07:05 — The Critical Question: "What Do You Bring to the Table?" 08:52 — How We Got Here: Family Courts & The Romantic Model 10:24 — Hostile Dependency & Asserting Autonomy 11:24 — Contradictions: Feminism, Girlbosses, and Tradwives 13:07 — The Origins of Gynocentrism & Courtly Love 15:40 — Why the Romantic Model Failed After Divorce Stigma Lifted 18:12 — Trying to Satiate the Insatiable 20:22 — The "Simp" Dynamic: Groveling Breeds Resentment 21:58 — Why "Wild Man" Retreats Avoid the Real Issues 24:55 — Peeling Back Gynocentrism: Treating Each Other as Human 26:28 — Evolution vs. Socialization in Attraction 28:22 — The Paradox of Women's Unhappiness 30:19 — Disconnection from the Feminine Body 31:36 — The Necessity of Being Complete Before Relationships 33:30 — Understanding How Men Are Manipulated by Shame 35:49 — "Human Doings": Men's Value Tied to Provision 39:11 — Paul's Stance: Rejecting Legal Marriage 40:58 — Biblical Roles & The Myth of the 1950s Housewife 43:40 — Critique of the "She Has No Worries" Mindset 46:13 — Controversial Advice: Stop "Dating" Entirely 48:51 — The Transactional Nature of Modern Dating 50:00 — Debunking the Soulmate Myth 52:41 — Men, Silence, and the "Defective Women" Therapy Model 53:44 — Men Heal Through Action (The Michael Jordan Story) 56:06 — The Erosion of Male Spaces & The Bystander Effect 59:43 — Daniel Penny & The Risks of Male Protection 01:01:49 — Personal Safety: Agency vs. Expecting Protection 01:02:45 — Most Men's Issues Stem from Relationship Choices 01:04:18 — The Mirror Test: Taking Accountability for Abusive Partners 01:05:54 — Self-Esteem vs. Self-Respect 01:08:35 — Paul's Relationship Secret: Being the "Guardian of Respect" 01:10:52 — Teaching Women the Definition of Respect 01:13:23 — The Ultimate Power: Willingness to Walk Away 01:15:09 — Conclusion & Where to Find Paul Elam___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

#201: Tired of feeling whiplash from dating that starts strong, then fades by month three? We're pulling the curtain back on the pattern so many women recognize: consistent texts, thoughtful questions, future talk, and then a sudden dip in energy that gets explained away as “not ready” or “let's go with the flow.” We explore why these early signals feel like intention, how they set expectations, and what to do when words and actions stop matching.We dig into the deeper wiring, too. If inconsistency felt normal in childhood, your body might confuse unease with chemistry and intensity with safety. That's why steady effort can feel boring while the rollercoaster feels alive. We also unpack a subtler trend: when emotional intimacy becomes a shortcut to closeness—asking all the right questions without the capacity to maintain real responsibility. Masks don't just fall; they expire. Around the three to six month mark, performance gives way to patterns, and that's your clearest data point.So where does that leave us? With practical choices. We're choosing actions that don't need interpretation, a steady pace over fireworks, patterns over promises, and emotional responsibility over convenience. We talk about age and accountability, why access without direction is a dealbreaker, and how to ask for structure without apologizing. Most of all, we reframe “pressure” as a request for alignment: if the reality is close connection, let the definition reflect it. Silence protects the pattern; clarity protects you.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a confidence boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. Your story matters—what pattern are you choosing to stop recycling next?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

Michel is a successful single dad and self-described traditionalist who believes in asking a woman out, planning the date, and paying for it. But when it comes to dating apps, he says finding a woman who appreciates his values feels nearly impossible. In this episode, we dive into modern dating culture, dating app expectations, and whether traditional romance still has a place in today's swipe-driven world. Do dating apps reward effort—or misunderstand it? ⚠️ Warning: Strong opinions, honest takes, and zero sugarcoating ahead.

In this episode, I unpack the question - could much of the frustration and difficulty in dating and mating be attributed to (at least in part) to hyper-elite women practicing what is known as ‘Reproductive Suppression'?Vogue published an article titled ‘Is Having a Boyfriend Lame?' Which prompted Rob Henderson to put forth his hypothesis about Reproductive Suppression in this brilliant piece titled ‘Girl Boss Gatekeeping' - https://www.robkhenderson.com/p/girlb... I draw on research from Rob Henderson and Dr. Dani Sulikowski as I break down female intragroup conflict and why all the body positivity, you don't need a man, and red flag culture that seems like it's in solidarity with women might actually be a covert strategy to keep women from finding mates.Listen in to learn about how high-status females (including chimps) keep low-status females away from mates, how modern tech amplifies ‘aspirational' lifestyles, why rom-coms feel like castration for men, how dark-triad traits correlate with anti-natalism, and much more.This one is an evolutionary psychology nerding out episode - enjoy!TIMESTAMPS:00:53 —Intro 01:03 —One on one coaching spots03:15 — The Question of Elite Women as "Mean Girls"05:00 — The Proximate and Ultimate Reasons for Elite Women's Behavior06:16 — Intergroup Conflict and Covert Passive Aggression in Women 07:36 — Unconscious Competitive Strategy to Keep Women from Mates 10:12 — Girl Boss, Body Positivity, & Female Entitlement 13:16 — Technology, Consumerism, and the Tornado of Reproductive Suppression14:37 — Heartbreak of Women Who Prioritised Career Over Family 17:00 — Reproductive Sabotage: Disrupting Women's Mating Preferences 18:01 — Demonising Traditional Masculine Traits & Rom-Com Castration20:50 — Proximate vs. Ultimate Summary & Lying to Women21:58 — Elite Women's Access to Resources and Protection23:55 — Male Envy and Psychopathic Insanity 24:50 — Dark Triad Traits and Lack of Introspection25:52 — The Frustration of double standards27:16 — Historical Examples: Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Victoria Woodhull 28:54 — The Narrative of Oppression vs. Reality for Elite Women 29:57 — The Twisting of Pain into Man Envy (Betty Friedan) 31:17 — Conclusion & Call to Action for Harmony32:24 — Outro___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Send us your thoughts and possible requests for show topics. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SHOWWhat happens when three opinionated hosts invite three Jersey women to dissect modern dating with zero filters and a lot of receipts? Sparks fly, rules get rewritten, and the truth about apps, scams, red flags, and real chemistry spills out in full color. We set the tone with tech chaos and holiday snark, then dive into the meat of it: why Hinge roses and premium paywalls turn connection into microtransactions, how filters and height inflation erode trust, and why chatting for weeks only breeds projections. The women's stories are brutally relatable—scammers with overseas “bank lockouts,” rent-ask bots, and first dates that fizzle after two Foreigner songs—while the guys admit the male versions of self-sabotage, hedging, and performance-mode dating.We push for a saner playbook: meet faster, keep the first date short and public, and cut your chat queue to two or three to lower the noise. Single parents get real about time: kid ages, custody rhythms, and mom guilt can derail momentum even when the spark is real. The crew doesn't shame meds or history; they call for honesty. If there's an antipsychotic on the list and you're hiding it, that's different from being transparent about everyday treatment and showing stability. We laugh about museum marathons, karaoke misses, and the worst selfie angles on Earth, but the takeaways stay sharp: use current photos, drop the filters, and write profiles that sound like your actual life. Offer a clear plan, respect boundaries, and notice who shows up like they text.By the end, we land on a hopeful note that isn't naive. Apps are tools, not casinos. You can set a tighter radius, meet sooner, protect your drink and your time, and still stay open enough to let something real start. If you've felt burned out, this conversation will leave you with practical steps, better filters for red flags, and a reminder that a good laugh can reset your dating mindset. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's swiping, and leave a quick review—it helps more listeners find us and keeps the good conversations coming. https://www.thetakeitdeepshow.com
Dating these days? Absolutely brutal. If you've managed to dodge the endless swipe-fest, consider yourself lucky. According to a new Rolling Stone piece by a high school senior, Gen Z guys are tapping out of dating altogether. Kennedy says to delete the apps, grab a drink, and talk to someone in person. You know, like it's 1998.

Relationships are more transactional than we admit. Psychologist Orion Taraban explains what men and women actually want versus what they say! [Pt 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1212What We Discuss with Orion Taraban:People often can't accurately describe what they actually want in relationships. Women may say they want kindness and safety, but these qualities only matter from men they're already attracted to. The key insight: watch what people do, not what they say they want.According to Orion Taraban, people are always in relationships with their perceived best available option. This involves both emotional connection and practical value calculations. While this framing may feel uncomfortable, it helps explain why purely psychological dating advice often falls short.Contrary to popular belief, there aren't different strategies for short-term versus long-term relationships in modern dating culture. Since sex typically precedes commitment, the path to long-term relationships requires first succeeding at short-term attraction dynamics, then maintaining those behaviors over time.Men tend to cheat while staying in relationships (often due to opportunity rather than dissatisfaction), while women are more likely to cheat as a way to transition to better relationships. Women may also engage in "consecutive cheating" — ending one relationship and immediately starting another, which technically isn't infidelity but serves a similar function.Focus on attraction first, everything else second. The most practical takeaway is understanding that attraction must be established before other relationship qualities matter. Whether you're looking for casual dating or marriage, you need to first master the fundamentals of becoming attractive to your target demographic. This means being honest about what actually creates attraction rather than what you think should create it. Stay tuned for the second part of this two-part episode (airing later this week), where we'll dive deeper into specific strategies for building and maintaining this attraction in both short and long-term contexts!And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
