Listen Later

Are younger men increasingly attracted to older women? With Hollywood churning out films like "The Idea of You" and "Lonely Planet," featuring significant age gaps between partners, we're diving deep into this fascinating cultural shift. What's driving this trend, and more importantly - does age really matter anymore in modern dating?


Join hosts Tom and Pam as they explore the complexities of age-gap relationships, drawing from personal experiences and recent Hollywood portrayals. They tackle the controversial "double standard" between older men dating younger women versus older women dating younger men, and discuss whether society's acceptance of these relationships is genuinely evolving or just a passing trend.


The conversation takes an intriguing turn when they address a heartfelt email from a successful, educated, and attractive woman in her 40s who can't seem to find lasting love. Despite her accomplishments and confidence, she's struggling in the modern dating landscape - a situation that resonates with many listeners. Tom and Pam offer candid insights about the fine line between confidence and desperation in dating.


The hosts share their own experiences with dating apps, including the uncomfortable truth about when most people do their swiping (spoiler: it's probably not when you think). They discuss the pros and cons of various dating methods, from apps to social groups like GOAT, and why relying solely on digital connections might be holding you back from finding genuine relationships.


This episode offers practical advice for anyone feeling "sick of being single," including why taking a break from dating apps might be the best decision you can make. Whether you're curious about age-gap relationships or struggling with modern dating, this conversation provides honest, sometimes brutal, but always helpful perspectives on finding love in today's complex dating landscape.
