Turns out the patriarchy isn't just harmful to women but also to freakin' men as we learn from talking to Joseph about his experience not fitting into 'bro culture' yet still falling victim to masculine values that ultimately hurt his relationships. We discuss why 'locker room' talk can be so problematic, the challenges that come with suppressing emotions and not asking for help, and how to redefine masculinity to become a better man.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

You all know that guy that's fiercely independent, has a revolving door of casual flings, and whose family and friends have determined will never settle down. Well, we're talking to Yue's friend Jesse who was just like this...until he wasn't. Join us as we hear from him and his now-wife Cassie about how they went from being in a totally uncommitted relationship to being married. We discuss what happens when that light goes off that you want something more substantial, the risks that you're willing to take for the right person, and how to be as full of an individual before finding your other half.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

After all the ghosting, the breadcrumbing, the flaking – the one thing we don’t address is the trauma from it all. Join us as we chat with Janis Isaman about all the dating wounds we carry from years of being single and going on endless dates.
