  • Validating Women’s Experiences and AI Use

    You ladies should REALLY take a look at Jennie Young and what she is doing. The reason so many women are into Burned Haystack is because we are being validated after years and years of dating predatory, creepy men. Your Pollyanna position on why women are unhappy with the selection of men is really, really outdated and icky. There is a way to encourage people to be open to connection without totally invalidating the very real experiences women who date men have in dating. Ew to the gaslighting a... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S22E9: How To Spot A Narcissist (And Not Give Them Your Time & Attention) w/ Dr. Alina Kastner
Q: If you realize you're in a narcissistic relationship, what is the best first step?
The best first step is to seek professional help and to begin zero contact with the narcissist; minimize contact with mutual connections and protect yourself while you plan a safe exit.
S22E9: How To Spot A Narcissist (And Not Give Them Your Time & Attention) w/ Dr. Alina Kastner
Q: What are early red flags in dating that could indicate a narcissistic dynamic?
Early red flags include rapid escalation to intense commitment, excessive love bombing, pushy boundaries, constant need for control, gaslighting, and inconsistent behavior where promises do not align with actions; if consistency cannot be maintained over time, that's a major warning sign.
S22E9: How To Spot A Narcissist (And Not Give Them Your Time & Attention) w/ Dr. Alina Kastner
Q: How would you define narcissism and how does it differ from a personality disorder?
Narcissism exists on a spectrum with traits that many people may have, but Narcissistic Personality Disorder requires at least five of nine specific criteria and represents a clinically diagnosable condition; many people labeled as narcissists may simply exhibit traits or behaviors without meeting the full disorder criteria.
S22E5: Why You Think You're Single vs. What Your Friends Really Think (From the Perspective of 2 Male BFFs)
Q: How can Sean approach dating differently to find a better fit?
They propose expanding environments beyond his usual venues, embracing vulnerability, asking meaningful questions early on about life goals (like family), and letting chemistry guide the relationship rather than a strict checklist.
S22E3: Decentering Men & Dating (Without Giving Up On Finding Love) w/ Allison Goldberg
Q: What does it look like to tell your story in a fulfilling and compelling way?
It's about transforming the narrative around dating and not making it central in your life.
