What Men REALLY Think: Dating + Relationship Talk with Matt LeBris
Today on the show I’m talking to Matt LeBris, award-winning entrepreneur and host of the Decoding Success podcast. I listen to Matt’s show, and recently I’ve heard him talking a lot about love and dating from the male perspective, so I thought it would be fun to have him on the show and ask him the questions me and my girls RACK our brains about when it comes to men. With all the advice out there - from YouTube to TikTok to all the books that tell us what to do and what NOT to do when it comes to men, I’m going straight to the source. We chat about the shift in modern dating and if THE RULES really mean anything at all. Do guys really love the chase? Do they view women differently if you sleep with them on the first date? Are men REALLY intimidated by successful women? Grab a glass of wine and get ready for some juicy stuff. This is so enlightening. I know you’re gonna love it. Let’s get to it.
