Maria and I met at a beach bar, the kind of place neither of us often goes. She's a fitness model looking for a more traditional kind of love, and she is the host of a video podcast called Closet Confessions. Maria is a beautiful woman who loves fearless vulnerable conversations about dating. I hope you like this conversation as much as I did.

Laney Tucker - Heartbreak, Relationships, and going viral for getting Ghosted

I heard Justine on Charlotte Warren's Welcome to the Peasant Party pod and I was pretty sure we'd get along. In this convo we talk dating stuff - everything from politics to approaching in the gym. Her podcast Villain Era [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/villain-era/id1655382034] is a personal podcast about modern dating, so obviously I'm a fan.

Justine - Rethinking Scott's Stance on Men Approaching Women in the Gym

I was so excited and nervous for this one! I talk a lot about the importance of mental health. The man with whom I do that work, Nate Tobey, agreed to come on the pod! There's a lot in this one, I hope you find it helpful. I see Nate remotely on video calls and it's how I do so much important work. Go check out his website [https://www.natetobeycounseling.com/]. He also mentioned and recommends Heidi Priebe on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@heidipriebe1] and I also think she's great!

Nate Tobey - Love Is Not Scarce

Chrysa lives in London, we met online, and we just jumped right in and talked about all things modern dating. I knew she'd be a great guest so after a few online calls I asked here to join me on the pod. We ended up aiming for a Dating App Survival Guide - which is sort of just the two of us chatting about steategies for men n dating apps. I'm excited for you to listen to this one even though it's long! Enjoy!

Note: I've re-uploaded this episode to fix an audio issue, I hope it sounds better now! Thank you for your patience, I'm still learning this stuff. =]

Mark Rosenfeld is Australia's Dating & Relationship Coach for Women [https://makehimyours.com.au]. His book is Make Him Yours - Beating the Odds of Modern Dating. Check out his YouTube stuff [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj43cUFiX39jaukd6UReQrQ]! I really enjoyed this one, I think there are certainly things we see a little differently, but I enjoyed our talk and - as I often do - I hope I can find a way to chat with Mark again in the future!

Mark Rosenfeld - Beating the Odds of Modern Dating

Super lovely chat with Courtney Boyer [https://www.courtneyboyercoaching.com/about]! Her book is Not Tonight, Honey [https://bookshop.org/p/books/not-tonight-honey-courtney-boyer/20057052?ean=9798218195229]. She focuses her work mainly on women who are struggling to feel sexual desire in relationships, but there is so much overlap between that and the conversation around men and modern dating! I'm very grateful she made the time to chat. Enjoy!

Courtney Boyer - Women, Sex, and the Dutch

A personal podcast about modern dating from a straight man's perspective. The Bad: social media, dating apps, the patriarchy, the pandemic! The good: a very real possibility, more so than ever before, of finding a deep meaningful romantic partnership! Let's talk about the difficulties, figure out how to best navigate the realities of trying to connect with someone amazing, and stay stubbornly optimistic. =]

wish you all the best
