The More Ambitious The Woman, The Harder...

Dear Media, Lindsey Metselaar
About this episode

We are diving into the notion that men may be intimidated by accomplished women. Is it a myth? Or is there some truth to it? What is the deal with the whole “leaning into our feminine?” I did some market research with single guy friends who gave their opinions. We also discuss how it feels for a man to marry into money, Craig’s comment on Summer House, and some White Lotus thoughts.
