December 17, 2021 43. Girls Asks Guys: Misconceptions, Playing Hard to Get & Is Attraction Automatic?
In the hot seat this episode are a few twenty-something bachelors working in Silicon Valley: Santiago, David & Daniel. As men just trying to make it (see what we did there?), they are individually learning over time what it means to be dating in adulthood—and we have a *lot* of questions. Take notes as we talk to each guy about the moralities of ghosting, whether someone's "type" matters, wearing your heart on your sleeve, etc. The rest? You'll have to #tunein to find out.
