Dating has never been more complicated. Between the rise of online apps, shifting cultural expectations, and the pull of red pill and feminist extremes, many people are left frustrated—or giving up altogether.

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Ash, co-author of 

Primal Dating, to uncover the evolutionary psychology beneath our modern mating struggles. We explore why men and women play by different rules when it comes to attraction, what the friend zone really signals, how porn and OnlyFans are reshaping relationship dynamics, and why situational leadership—becoming a “situational alpha”—matters more than ever in today’s hyper-connected world.

Tim also breaks down how red pill communities misuse evolutionary psychology, why men and women both lose when relationships collapse, and what practical steps each side can take to build deeper, healthier connections.

Whether you’re navigating dating yourself, reflecting on past relationships, or trying to understand the cultural shifts around intimacy, this conversation goes straight to the root of human nature—and how we can live with it wisely.
