Episode 166-Jules from Texas

Shervin and guest Molly discuss how political and religious alignment shapes modern dating, from what to disclose on a profile to when differences become deal breakers. They also explore curiosity across lifestyle differences, changing attitudes toward marriage, and how election outcomes may influence both dating and public accountability.

Clinical sexologist Dr. Stephanie joins Shervin to explain what ethical non-monogamy and swinging actually involve, challenging assumptions about free-for-all sex with a focus on consent, communication, and negotiated boundaries. She also discusses body acceptance, STI testing, kink, and how relationship counseling can support people across different relationship styles.

Anna from Vermont, aka Lindsey Vonn's doppelganger, joins Shervin to talk about what really is a situationship, the role of communication, and the impact of societal norms on modern relationships. Anna White, a therapist and relationship expert, shares insights on navigating emotional intimacy, sexual connection, and the challenges faced by men and women today.

Do men in their 40s really prefer younger women? Do women hold the cards when it comes to intimacy? And why, in a world more connected than ever, are so many people still struggling to find meaningful connection?We’re talking dating preferences, communication, loneliness, and why asking the right questions might be the difference between another disappointing date and a genuine connection.Because dating isn't a competition between men and women. It's about understanding what each person brings to the table—and figuring out whether you're building a relationship or negotiating a merger. 😉

Emily and Shervin explore the myths and realities of dating, self-esteem, and relationship health. They discuss societal influences, the impact of social media, and practical advice for building confidence and authentic connections.

We ask some many damn questions about dating rather than solutions. What people want from modern relationships? Are one night stands fun anymore? Is there safety and first-date effort, and texting etiquette? So many for us to unravel yet we don't want to put our best foot forward. Are we lame? Or are still too hurt from the past? Can't we just have some fun while not hurting each other? Again, so many freaking questions!

Lisa recounts a date that took an unexpected twist. After matching on a dating app, she discovered that her date was married. "He said, 'I just want to be upfront,' which would have been more helpful before I arrived!" This candid moment set the stage for a discussion about honesty in dating profiles. Be sure to check out her book, "Dating for Dinner" out now Amazon.

What’s really going through a man’s mind before a first date? Shervin sits down with "Better Man Project" founder, Joe to talk about the nerves, expectations, confidence, and all the little things men think about before they walk through that door.And then we tackle the other side of dating: when the response never comes. How long is too long to wait for a text back? Is she busy, uninterested, or simply taking her time? We break down the unspoken rules of communication—and why timing can sometimes say more than words.First dates, mixed signals, and the thoughts we don't always say out loud. 😉
