Gen Z’s Outlook on Gender Roles, Dating,...

Adam Lane Smith & Sarah Dawn Moore
About this episode

🎙️ ️ Dive into an intriguing episode of the "I Wish You Knew" podcast, where Gen Z voice Kenzie Carter joins relationship coach Sarah Moore and the attachment specialist Adam Lane Smith for a candid conversation about navigating expectations in today's relationships.

 

This episode is packed with honest takes on love, life, and everything in between. So buckle up for some thought-provoking conversations, and get ready to have your mind blown (or at least learn something new).

 

This episode tackles a crucial question: In an era of social media pressures and evolving gender roles, what expectations do Gen Z men and women have for each other in relationships, friendships, and in marriage?




🌟Join us as we explore:

 

👉 How dating apps have become dehumanizing and transactional, akin to shopping at a market place. 

👉 How men can avoid unintentionally making their partners feel unsafe or disrespected.

👉 How traditional gender roles are being challenged by Gen Z couples and how they're redefining what it means to be in a healthy relationship.

👉 How education and financial security influence our relationship expectations and desires.

👉 The secret to finding lasting fulfillment, without needing a million followers.

👉 How dopamine-seeking behaviors from men can hinder genuine connections with women.

👉 Why men who lack oxytocin due to a lack of emotional connection in their upbringing may struggle to meet their partner's emotional needs.



From setting realistic expectations to developing healthy, secure attachments, this must-watch episode offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern dating.
