Episode 2324:
Dr. Diana Kirschner explores the self-sabotaging dating pattern where women dismiss potential partners over trivial flaws, believing they are "not willing to settle." Instead, she argues, it's essential to focus on a man's deeper values, like empathy and personal growth, which are the real foundations for lasting love. She challenges women to give men a fair chance and avoid the perfectionism that often leads to missed opportunities for happiness.

Quotes to ponder:
"Love often comes in a surprise package."
"These complaints have nothing to do with the qualities that make for a partner who can provide lasting love and happiness."
"You unconsciously project your own feelings of inadequacy onto each guy you meet or date."
