This one’s WILD. Our guest Kristen dives all the way in on the messy reality of modern dating:

Why married men seem to be obsessed with her

The cycle of going back to exes (and why it never works)

The toxic fuck buddy trap — “I love you” during sex but not after

“Demon dick” & “demon pussy” stories that keep people coming back for more

Fake hobbies, fake sports fans, fake interests just to keep someone

Why communication, self-focus, and not putting all your eggs in one basket might be the only real dating advice that matters

This is raw, hilarious, and painfully relatable. If you’ve ever recycled an ex, dealt with toxic attachment, or questioned if men and women can really just be friends…this one hits home.

👉 Don’t miss Kristen’s closing advice for anyone re-entering the dating scene after divorce or a long relationship — it’s the kind of truth you’ll wish someone told you sooner.

Wondered how to date with intention after years of doing it wrong

Plus: navigating hookup culture in your 40s, cougar stories, sex toys, narcissists, and why doing the inner work matters before you fall in love again.
