1 SB. 3 best friends. Ab-so-lute-ly no filter. 1 to 100 real quick!

The best way to describe this episode is simply you need to listen! Henry, Michael, the whirlwind that is Ad & I get into a question I know many have been curious about; what is the male social CRB process aka running a 'background check' on a potential partner.

Breaking it down, we discussed:

- Is running a social CRB check indicative of certain types of men?

- Does a social CRB check impact truly getting to know someone?

- Are all social CRBs good social CRBs?

Let's get physical, physical! We're into the double digits of #CommunityDPod and in episode 10 I got into straight facts with Femz about the action-packed attraction factor; is physical attraction all it's cracked up to be?
