Bland DMs: Why You Might Be The Problem

BETCHES MEDIA
About this episode

As Valentine’s Day gets closer, we’re anticipating make-or-break reveals hitting a high, but there’s a silver lining: J&J explain why this V-Day is perfectly placed for single people in 2024. Next, they dive into “Icky or Picky?” about a lackluster conversation starter in the DMs. Then, the episode ends with an email about how to get a could-be relationship out of a weird place after the holidays. Communication isn’t what it was in December and our listener isn’t sure she can get them back on the right track without using “masculine energy,” but does that really matter? J&J read the texts she shared and weigh in on where to go from here.
