Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Miss Amanda Chen Show. It's Valentine's Day and I'm in a little town in Mexico as I record this. I've fried my laptop and so this is completely unedited, authentically me.

We just opened up Season 2 focusing on full transparency this week, with three interviews of men sharing their open and honest thoughts on relationships. So I guess it's my turn to share my thoughts, where I'm coming from and how I'm looking at relationships now.

As someone who has spent the last year "pivoting" during the pandemic, I swallowed my ego, focused on myself, and here I am in a small town in Mexico sharing male vulnerability for you today. What began as the only way for me to make a change with my hateful habits with men to feeling compassion and a desire to learn more about gender linguistics, Valentine's Day feels very different now.

Without any sex toys, without dating apps to validate that I'm still a catch, and without the availability of dick at aarm's reach, I am overflowing with love and desire for myself. I never knew I could possess this much love for myself, this much respect for myself, this much compassion for myself as I do today. And whoever finds themselves in my presence is going to be really fucking lucky to love me just as much as I love myself.

Happy Valentine's Day, I love you. And as always, make sure to subscribe and I'll see you next Wednesday with more episodes of the 100 Masked Men.
