E279 Dating Theories With Tinx

Nick Viall
About this episode

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by TikTok sensation Tinx. Tinx talks to us about all of her dating theories from Boyfriend Sickness & The Ick List to Box Theory and we are here for it. Tinx started her journey on TikTok when she wasn’t finding things on the platform that she was interested in and decided to make it herself. Nick and Tinx break down some of these theories and speak about the topics they get the most from their audiences and the advice they give them. The question is, is that advice different from a male or female perspective. 

“ …you better national treasure the sh*$ out of your Ick List.”
