   Is Dating Rigged?

   Your favorite podcast hosts are spiraling over how dating in your 20s seriously feels like a man’s world. Why is it that guys can go on three dates and end up in a relationship, while the most beautiful, emotionally intelligent women they know are out here getting ghosted by men whose best Hinge prompt is “What I order for the table: tequila”? Mia & Karly break down the frustrating state of modern dating, the societal pressure to be “chosen,” and how organic meet-cutes have essentially died off. The girls also chat about shifting their mindsets, dating with more intention, and reclaiming their power (even if they still delete and redownload Hinge every other Sunday night).
