Get ready for some HOT takes on this week's episode of Interstates & Heartbreak, as I speak with Tuesday English about how to hold yourself and the men you date to Rihanna-level standards. We discuss "bitchy" behaviors like refusing to cook or pay for things early in the dating process, and hypothesize why these acts may actually be beneficial to attracting quality men. This is the perfect episode for anyone who's feeling fatigued by swiping through the seemingly endless sea of scrubs on the apps, or who wonders if they've ever been guilty of being or dating a scrub themselves.
