Welcome to the Girl on Top ShalinXO podcast.

I'm your host Shalin Lester and you might know me from my YouTube channel,

where I analyze celebrity relationships and scandals for the lessons we can take into our own lives.

But here on the podcast, I answer the best questions you submitted over the

past week. Gotta love quandary? Head to my website, shalinlester.com to get connected, and also shop my

merch and take some fun quizzes. Be sure to rate and review this podcast if you like it, and follow me on

Instagram at ShaolinXO and find me on YouTube for four new videos a week.

Welcome back, Shalegators. We're going to continue our series exploring why men love bitches.

It's our new Shale Literature Book Club selection. And it's also just something that's sort of keeping my life held together right now. I read this book every few years and every time I do,

I just feel so much more

powerful and smarter and just like I'm no longer feeling my way through the dark in terms of

dating. And let me tell you, I know what I'm doing when it comes to dating. But when we catch

feelings for someone or when we get our heart broken, we all feel blind, you know? We all feel deaf, dumb, and blind and crazy and heart sick,

and just spiraling. And we're looking for any sort of anchor, any sort of map or directive to tell us

what to do. And I've really, really found that with this book. So you guys can get it.

There's a link in the description.

You can get it on Amazon.

Or if you go to the Shalegator's Reddit page, they've got a free version on there, which is pretty darn cool.

So the last two episodes, we read the introduction.

And then last week we read the first chapter.

So we're going to jump into the middle of the second chapter because it talks about why guys stop calling.

And I've done videos on why guys ghost, right?
