Listen Later

In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly dives into the growing conversation around modern dating and the influence of the manosphere, sparked by watching Louis Theroux: The Manosphere.

If you’ve been dating recently and found yourself thinking “what is going on?” — you’re not alone.

Kelly breaks down how certain online ideologies are shaping dating behaviours, particularly around emotional availability, effort, and relationship dynamics. She explores why some men are drawn to this content, how it shows up in real-life dating experiences, and why it can leave women feeling confused, insecure, or like they have to prove their worth.

This episode isn’t about blaming, it’s about understanding.

Most importantly, Kelly brings it back to what actually matters: your standards, your self-worth, and your ability to recognise what you deserve in a relationship.
