What People Really Fall in Love With… | ...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

It's easy to find yourself comparing your attractiveness to others in dating. We compare our looks, our job, our body, our wealth...and we can easily feel like we don't match up. But people don't fall in love with characteristics. And comparison will always leave us with more anxiety and self-sabotage than learning to love what we have. In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the problem of comparison and what really makes someone fall for you.
