Devin Physique and Dr. Ashley Contorno dive into a candid, point-counterpoint conversation on gender roles, relationships, money, sexuality, and emotional health—framed by their real-world experiences and differing perspectives. The episode opens with behind-the-scenes upgrades to the show’s setup, then pivots to a spirited discussion about how society labels assertive women versus men (“bitch” vs. “leader”), how independence and femininity can coexist, and how shifting workplace and dating norms complicate expectations.

From there, you explore dating economics and first-date norms (who pays and why), the double standard around sexual “body counts,” and why men often prioritize physical factors while women often prioritize emotional connection and sexual competence. You also examine age-gap dynamics, “sugar baby” culture, and the tension between authenticity and social validation. A thoughtful segment on mental health challenges cultural taboos around male vulnerability and female “over-emotion,” emphasizing healthy expression over suppression. The episode closes with each of you naming one thing you’d change about how the other gender commonly shows up in relationships (men: embrace emotions without losing grounded masculinity; women: avoid letting past hurts build walls that punish future partners).
