124. Modern Dating HAS Changed (Myths Exposed by Dating Coach) ft. Katarina Polonska


Listen Later

In a world dominated by swipes, likes, and fleeting connections, modern dating feels more like a battlefield than a journey to love. With deception lurking behind curated profiles and filtered photos, the pursuit of genuine connection has become tangled in a web of misunderstandings and unspoken rules. Why are we drawn to quick dopamine hits over lasting intimacy? How did we lose sight of vulnerability and trust amidst the noise of dating apps and social expectations?

Takeaways
1. Relationships Require Active Effort
Love isn’t effortless—thriving relationships demand intentional investment, open communication, and mutual growth.
2. Personal Growth Alone Isn’t Enough
Even extensive personal development doesn’t guarantee relationship success; it’s a distinct skill set requiring work and adaptation.
3. Cultural Myths Fuel Unrealistic Expectations
Societal conditioning romanticizes love as effortless, neglecting the real challenges and skills required to maintain healthy connections.
4. Attachment Styles Shape Relationship Patterns
Understanding your attachment style—whether anxious, avoidant, or secure—is essential for building fulfilling and stable relationships.
5. Modern Dating’s Superficiality Hinders Connection
The rise of dating apps and societal pressures prioritizes quick, shallow interactions over meaningful, lasting intimacy.
