This conversation took an unexpected turn as we explored the challenges and dynamics of dating, particularly with online dating after divorce. The competitive nature of dating, the damaged confidence of men, and their ability to approach women were topics we covered. We also addressed the limitations and frustrations of dating apps and how important it is to find someone with shared values, not hobbies. We discussed the need to approach dating with an open mind.
The conversation also touched on the impact of illness on relationships and the struggle to navigate appropriate social interactions. The conversation concluded with the potential backlash against women's empowerment and the importance of open conversations for promoting change.
