47. The Relationship/Sex Trope IRL

Send us a text

You’ve seen it. You’ve probably lived it. The classic relationship/sex trope—where women seem desperate for a relationship and men seem desperate for sex—playing out in real time. In this episode, we share two fresh, real-world examples we just witnessed that had us shaking our heads.

We break down how these default drives lead people to skip the critical steps (like our 7 Bridges) and jump headfirst into mismatched relationships. The result? Regret, unmet needs, and that “what the hell was I thinking?” moment.

This isn’t about blaming men or women—it’s about understanding the patterns, spotting the red flags, and breaking the cycle before you’re knee-deep in something that doesn’t actually work for you.

If you’ve ever rushed into something because it met one big need but ignored all the others, this episode is your wake-up call.
