Deep dives
Reevaluating the 'Do I Like Them?' Filter
The podcast challenges the commonly accepted idea of evaluating a potential partner based on whether or not you like them. It argues that using likability as the primary lens can lead to passive interactions, surface-level questions, and treating people like products rather than individuals. Instead, the podcast suggests asking yourself, 'Why would I want to care about this person?' This shift in mindset encourages understanding and humanizing the person in front of you, focusing on their backstory, values, and experiences that shape their personality.
