Why Dating Is More Difficult As You Get ...

Dear Media, Lindsey Metselaar
About this episode

On today’s full solo episode, I discuss dating as you get older vs dating when you’re young. We get into what the difference is in mindset, in standards, and more. We look into myths such as “all the good guys are taken when they’re young,” and women need men more than women.
