168 - Dating: Should Men Pay for Dates?

Listen Later

‘I want him to pay but I also want to be an independent woman’. Relate? Then this episode is for you. Louise sits down with Tom Stroud, one of the breakout stars from Love Is Blind UK. They dive deep into a conversation that got the nation talking—and that goes far deeper than the pair saying ‘no’ at the altar. This episode is for anyone who’s ever questioned traditional relationship roles or found themselves navigating the murky waters of modern dating expectations. You want the man to pay, but you also want to be an independent woman? You want the man to lead but you also love being ambitious and paving your own way?


The pair get into:

  • Tom's relationship with Maria: a deep dive into the emotional highs and lows that ultimately led them to choose not to marry.
  • How long should you wait to sleep together?
  • A discussion around safety and emotional intimacy
  • Should men always pay on the first date?
  • Why ambitious women are often labeled as ‘masculine,’ yet still seen as ‘emotional’ or ‘hysterical.’
  • How the provider role you experienced in childhood influences the provider you become in adulthood.
  • The impact of childhood financial trauma on adult romantic relationships.
  • Is it time to challenge rigid gender roles and stereotypes, and have the 'ugly conversations' we’ve been avoiding?
  • Men who go to therapy (HALLELUJAH!) and more.
