Casual dating has become a somewhat recent phenomenon in modern times given its benefits of receiving sexual intimacy without any requirement for long-term commitment. However, does engaging in casual relationships create a net negative for society or is it an excellent way for people to gain sexual experience without needing to enter a relationship?

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss why casual relationships are destined to fail. Expect to learn why being in a casual relationship will never allow your truest self to be shown, the difference between a ‘situationship’ and casual dating, if ‘friends with benefits’ is the same thing as casual dating, why your actions will always override your words if you find yourself casually dating someone, whether or not a long-term partner is your best route for acquiring sexual experience, and much more!

A common criticism of men whether it be in pop culture or modern society at large is that we can be emotionally unintelligent at times. And in such a confusing time when men are given conflicting messages about their masculinity, being vulnerable and having a well developed emotional intelligence (or EQ) continues to be challenging for many. Irrespective, developing one's emotional intelligence is pivotal as it informs how we behave within our social interactions. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they share the most effective ways men can develop their EQ. Expect to learn why letting your walls down is synonymous with enhancing your emotional intelligence, why men should be wary of their instincts to look for solutions and ‘fix it’ mentalities, why saying “I’m sorry to hear” may not be the most empathetic response you can give in sad situations, and much more!

Do your friends or family have a dislike for your partner? If you have ever been in this position, you will know that it is an incredibly uncomfortable and challenging situation to navigate.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they explain what one should do if their friends or family dislike their partner. Expect to learn why you should not jump tell your friend your honest opinions about who they are dating especially when it’s early days, Ilan’s experience with his parents sharing their opinions on a former partner of his, why Jeremy believes that happiness isn’t enough in a healthy relationship, how to best query whether your friends are happy in their relationships, when to take criticisms of your partner from others seriously, and much more.

Why do we as young people feel pressured or rushed to enter a relationship? Perhaps it’s the expectation from your family who tell you how beautiful you are and therefore they cannot fathom the fact that you are single? Or maybe it’s driven by seeing your friends getting coupled up? Perhaps a mixture of the two plus a myriad of other reasons?

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss their views on rushing into a relationship and the desperation of finding love in your youth. Expect to learn about why we conceptualise love differently at different ages, whether it’s better to be single or partnered up in your 20s, our differing views on desperation within a relationship context, how to know whether you are rushing or whether you are actually ready for a relationship, and much more.

Expect to learn why watching videos on enhancing your productivity may do more harm than good, how to recognise an unhealthy relationship with productivity, why you should go for a walk without always having an external stimulus, the steps you can implement to rectify your relationship with productivity, and how to work with your own personal strengths to ensure that you can develop a productivity system that works for you.

Is masculinity in crisis mode? We’re increasingly hearing about ‘toxic masculinity’ but what does that actually mean? Is it what’s responsible for negative health outcomes impacting men or the increase in gender-based violence? 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they discuss their views on the problems with modern day masculinity. Expect to learn why Andrew Tate was so appealing to a sect of young men, why calling masculinity toxic is a disservice to both men AND women, the true qualities that encompass a masculine man and the importance of not tearing down gender-roles despite society’s insistence on it.
