The Love U Podcast with Evan Marc Katz

Women say they want men who are emotionally available and willing to work on themselves. But what happens when you meet a man who has those qualities and find yourself judging him for them?

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I explain why vulnerability is often read as weakness and why a man who has “done the work” may be less attractive than a man who has not.

If you’ve ever found yourself turned off by a good man who admits his flaws and shares his feelings, this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I sit down with Serena Kerrigan, author of the new book Let’s F*cking Date: Become the Prize, Enjoy the Ride, and Never Settle Again, to talk about what it means to stop auditioning for love and start choosing it.

We get into why dating multiple people at once comes from a place of power rather than scarcity, and why the anxiety we mistake for chemistry is actually a warning sign. Serena shares how she met her boyfriend when she stopped looking for her dream man, and why the right relationship feels like a steady, peaceful flow.

In other words, Serena’s message very much echoes mine – just with more profanity.

Where You Can Find Serena:

TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, podcasts, dating coaches, therapists, influencers, and AI can answer any dating question in seconds.

And yet, with all that advice, I don’t think most women are much happier.

In this Love U Podcast, I explain why knowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it — and how much can change when you focus on the right things for the next 90 days.

I also introduce the newly rebuilt EvanMarcKatz.com, including the Dating and Relationship Resource Library and my new three-month concierge advisory services.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by dating advice and unsure about how to find love in 2026, this episode will give you a great place to start.

We have more freedom, more choices, and more ways to meet than any generation in history—so why are so many women struggling to create the families they say they want?

On this week’s Love U Podcast, I talk with journalist Anna Louie Sussman, author of Inconceivable: The Impossibility of Family in an Age of Uncertainty, about what’s getting in the way.

We explore how dating apps have changed the way we choose partners, why successful women may face a numbers problem, and the tension between waiting for the right person and running out of time to build the family you want.

It’s a thoughtful conversation about how much of our dating struggle is personal, how much is structural—and what you can actually do about it.

Modern dating has created a culture where discomfort is something to escape. But does avoiding difficult conversations protect us—or does it make relationships harder to build?

In this episode of The Case for Love, Nick Notas and I explore why so many people avoid conflict and why the courage to communicate honestly is one of the strongest predictors of a healthy relationship.

If you’ve ever avoided hard conversation or considered yourself a people pleaser, I hope this makes a difference for you.

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I explain why even women who crave commitment can get freaked out by a guy who is too eager to commit. I also share how you can slow down a good guy without making him feel rejected.

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I sit down with Regena Thomashauer—better known as Mama Gena. She’s a bestselling author and founder of the School of Womanly Arts, and she explains why so many successful women lose touch with their own pleasure—and how to find their way back.

About Today’s Guest:

For more than three decades, Regena has devoted her work to restoring women’s connection to their bodies, desires, and right to want more. At the heart of her teaching is a radical truth: pleasure is a form of power. Her work is rooted in lived experience, decades of research, and the real-world results of hundreds of thousands of students.

Regena is the author of five books and has been widely recognized as a leading voice in modern feminism.

My clients are accomplished women who have taken control of their lives and succeeded – both academically and careerwise – with intelligence, hard work and resilience.

Modern dating has become a game of chicken. Women are told not to chase. Men are told not to come on too strong. Everyone’s so busy avoiding looking needy or too invested that two people who genuinely like each other end up pretending they don’t.

In this episode of The Case for Love, Nick Notas and I explain why vulnerability feels risky, how “playing it cool” backfires, and why the best relationships don’t involve keeping score. If you’re tired of second-guessing every text, you don’t want to miss this one.

In this episode, I explore how biology and culture shape male behavior, why the backlash against toxic masculinity has left decent men unsure how to act, and what women lose when masculinity gets coded as dangerous.
