Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. I hope you're having a good day, a good week, good

month. All right, we got a good show plan for you. We're going to be bouncing around. We've got a whole

lot to cover. So let's hit the ground running. We're going to open the show by talking about some

dating stuff, dating app stuff. Why? Because that's where all the magic in the darkness is happening. Uh, yes.

So, uh, the reason why I bring the topic up is y'all been in my DMs asking me questions about

dating dating apps, which ones to use, how to use them? More importantly, it's coming up a lot more

in my practice. So I want to kind of circle back and drop on you all a few main perspectives. Um,

I don't make the rules. I wish I did.

So we are a little bit at the mercy of this larger system. And I was talking about this on a show a couple, a couple weeks ago. And if you want to go back and check it out, go to we are channel

Q.com. Scroll down if you're level line and click on it. There's all all the shows podcasted but i was talking about a study that came out that was quite groundbreaking revolutionary

was talking about the rise of a single lonely men yep highest rate of singledom in general but more so

we have the highest rate of single men it's because um people are expecting better and uh those high

numbers highest numbers we've had of single lonely men is because got to step up and be better and do better. People are saying, I don't want relationships that aren't healthy. They're no longer dealing with toxic traits. They're expecting better. The bar is higher. So, you know, in one world, people that are, you know, dating men could say, could say ah well it's in my favor others there's a

high rate of lower functioning men that's the problem so um that is another thing that kind of keeps

this topic on the table so i wanted to just kind of talk a little bit more about it and hit a few key

points again as i said i don't make the roles.

The dating system operates the way it does.

However, we do all have control those of us that are participating in it in making it better.

It doesn't have to be so difficult, so hard, so depressing, so frustrating if we show up with our

better selves.

So we're going to talk about a few key

points to try to make it easier. We have not talked about these before. Only one point.
