So What Now? with Carla and Dex

EP 34: Body Language, Dating Games & Big Beautiful Bills


Listen Later

Alright y'all, in this week's episode we got real about body language in dating—yes, sis, that closed-off vibe might be why no one's stepping to you! A new study says most women think we look approachable, but we really out here serving "don't talk to me" energy. I put some of those body language tips to the test and let's just say... results were mixed.

Meanwhile, Carla is back in these dating streets and using ChatGPT to help cut through all the awkward small talk on Hinge and honestly, it's working! you'll have to hear it to believe it.

What are ya'll thoughts on romantic relationships being transactional? Now me? I stand ten toes down in the belief that all relationships are a give-and-take. Know your value, know what you want, and stop wasting time. Carla had a moment too—realizing that what she brings to a relationship is more than money, and honestly, that shift is powerful.

But we had to ask—since women are out here buying homes, getting degrees, leveling up in every way—should we lower our standards when it comes to men? Whew, child.

We closed it out with a pivot to motherhood and policy—talking about Trump's "big beautiful bill" and how it's gonna make SNAP benefits harder to get for single moms. Work requirements, marital status hoops... it's a lot, and it's giving struggle for too many women.

Tap in, y'all. This one's layered.

We wanna see y'all IRL. We're planning some in-person events, just for the ladies. Click the link and let's get out the group chat.
