Episode 45 - Is Low Effort Dating a Cultural Thing?

I’ve been wracking my brain over the shockingly low level of effort in dating where I live. Is it just me? Or is this an actual cultural thing? A friend of mine said that women in my area have just accepted that this is how things are—so men don’t need to try. And honestly? That blew my mind. In this episode, I unpack the frustrating reality of modern dating, whether we set the bar too low, and why so many men seem comfortable putting in bare minimum effort. Is this a regional issue? A generational one? And more importantly—how do we fix it?
