Dating has never had more freedom and yet somehow it’s never felt more complicated. In this episode, we dig into how modern dating got so messy, especially in a world where women are more independent than ever and traditional relationship roles are being rewritten in real time.
We talk about how women’s financial, emotional, and social independence has changed the dating landscape.. for the better and for the confusing. When “needing” someone is no longer the norm, what does partnership even mean? And where does that leave men, many of whom feel unsure about how to show up, pursue, or lead without overstepping—or disappearing altogether?
This isn’t a conversation about blaming women or romanticizing the past. It’s about naming the tension, the mixed signals, and the unspoken expectations that make dating feel exhausting for everyone. If you’ve ever felt like the rules changed but no one handed you the new playbook, this episode is for you.
We definitely didn’t expect to turn this submission into a full episode, but we’re so glad we read it first lol. Very on brand for WTJ.. this is just what we do. It was raw, honest, and a little uncomfortable… in the best way.
