Reframing Dating as a Sport

The podcast challenges the traditional view of dating as a game and proposes reframing it as a sport. This new perspective prompts the audience to consider what type of 'dating athlete' they are, whether they are passive observers, actively learning and adapting, or overly focused on statistics rather than personal values. By shifting the focus from winning or losing to athletic pursuits, individuals may approach dating with a different mindset, pushing boundaries and reevaluating conventional dating norms.
