Summary

We are diving into the notion that men may be intimidated by accomplished women. Is it a myth? Or is there some truth to it? What is the deal with the whole “leaning into our feminine?” I did some market research with single guy friends who gave their opinions. We also discuss how it feels for a man to marry into money, Craig’s comment on Summer House, and some White Lotus thoughts.

Hey guys, welcome back to We metadakmi.

0:19.7

I'm so excited for you to hear today's episode on

0:23.1

is it hard to date as an ambitious woman and what the men are thinking on this topic. I also

0:30.4

could not start this episode if I didn't talk about the White Lotus season finale. If you

0:35.8

haven't watched it yet, are you okay?

0:37.9

But you can fast forward this.

0:40.1

I just feel like we need to talk about the Chelsea and Rick love story because I'm a little

0:47.5

concerned about how the people that I follow on Instagram are reacting as if this was an okay or normal love and relationship.

1:00.7

And it really just makes me, it scares me a little because it is so clear that it's toxic

1:08.3

and that this character of Rick is like so withholding and has so much trauma

1:14.4

that he hasn't healed from. And I was actually talking to Tinks about this. It's just like so many

1:21.3

girls who are supporting this relationship. So many women are doing that because they are

1:46.9

you. And I feel like so many, I was so surprised to see so many people be like, oh my God, the

1:54.0

greatest love story of all time, because I was like, maybe you truly feel that way. And maybe your partner reminds you of Rick in that he's not

2:06.5

giving you anything. It kind of reminds me of, you know, when you see those TikToks, like making

2:11.9

fun of relationships where the woman's like, oh my God, like, baby, like say hi to the camera and he's

2:16.8

like, fuck you, you know? And like she thinks it's funny, but my God, like, baby, like say hi to the camera and he's like, fuck you,
