"Maybe people would have better success if they approached romantic relationships like venture capitalists."

Modern dating is loud, confusing, and strangely joyless. Everyone has opinions. Everyone has trauma. And everyone is lonely.
In this episode of The Young God, Rodney turns his gaze on the dating streets — from hypergamy and hoeflation to money, status, feminism, masculinity, and the quiet death of flirting. Why are decent people struggling to connect? Why does dating feel more like a negotiation than a dance? And why does selecting for “finished products” almost always end in heartbreak?
This is not a soft episode. Expect hot takes, uncomfortable truths, and zero hand-holding. Rodney speaks directly to men and women about judgment, character, desire, and what actually sustains love over time. He also shares 17 hard-earned relationship lessons that cut through the noise.
In a world that treats love like a scam, choosing something real may be the most radical act of all.
A word is enough for a god.
