Bella's Letter

https://www.womenologypod.com/post/why-did-he-suddenly-blow-her-off

Think your dates are intimidated by you? THINK AGAIN! We dissect the myth that men are too intimidated by strong successful women to date them, that choosing to be single is awesome and sometimes - just sometimes - it's you, not them. We also side-eye a guy named TJ who desperately wants to date hot young women but is far too virtuous to lie about his age even though EVERYBODY says he should. Finally, we talk about whether or not you should tell your online date they don't look like they're photos.

When you have sex does not determine if you'll make a good partner. Fun Fact: The 3 Date Rule is not a thing. Never was! Never forget: Nobody gets to decide if your relationship material but you.

We also give some real talk to FitGirl, who fears she looks to young and vibrant and men her age won't date her. Because, like, that's a thing?
