Back to EpisodesBad Dating Advice (feat. Fleeksie)
Description
n this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen are joined by special guest Fleeksie to break down the toxic dating advice being pushed on women by male dating coaches. But first, in Tea Time, we dive into the rumors of Jeff Bezos buying Vogue for his wife, the alarming rise of Gen Z falling for online scams, and why older women dating younger men are reporting more satisfaction.
Then, in our main discussion, we explore the world of male dating coaches like Matthew Hussey, the false promises of “fixing yourself” to land a man, and why centering men in dating will always lead women back to patriarchy. Lastly, we wrap up with a discussion of the film Sinners, examining its themes of race, culture, and power in America’s modern South.
🎧 This episode is your reminder: never lower your standards, trust your instincts, and stop letting men sell you nonsense about how to find love.
