Men vs. Women in Breakups feat. Ricky Li...

Dear Media
About this episode

We’re joined by author and influencer Ricky Liorti, and it’s been a long time coming (we share the story of how roasting him in 2022 led to this interview). We talk about his dating life, what he’s looking for and why he’s not willing to settle for less, and we give our analysis. We’re discussing the importance of being with someone who shares your interests, how living your best single life will help you find your perfect person, how heartbreak led him to writing his book, and the way men and women process breakups differently. Before Ricky joins us, Ashley shares her flu experience, and Rayna has made a big (and fun) change in her dating life. Enjoy! 

Follow Ricky on Instagram @yourpalrick and TikTok @yourpalrick, listen to The Pal’s Podcast, and read his poetry journal Heartbreak Love.
