Jeremy Tusia & Ilan Volchek
About this episode

Are differing political views a deal breaker in dating? Since political views can often reflect core values, how do you navigate the dating landscape with this in mind? Is it even necessary to ask whether someone leans more conservative or progressive?

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they dive into whether political compatibility is a dealbreaker for lasting relationships. Expect to learn how differing political views between men and women might be contributing to the challenges of modern dating, why political discussion is inherently polarising, whether you should ask someone about their political views on a first date, how America’s political culture has influenced Australia, the real impact of political incompatibility when raising children, and much more!
