Navigating the complexities of love and dating in 2024, our guest shares tales that resonate with anyone swiping right in search of connection. We expose the often-unspoken truths of sexual dynamics and delve into how honesty—or the lack thereof—in self-reported data tells a different story than the one we're used to hearing. Gender insecurities, the intricacies of online dating, and the impact of personal stories all come under the microscope, revealing the courage it takes to be authentic in the search for love. It's not just about finding 'the one'; it's about the insightful and sometimes hilarious journey that gets us there.

Lastly, we turn inward, reflecting on the pillars that make or break relationships: personal growth, respect, and communication. Through heartfelt anecdotes and the wisdom of experts, we dig into what it means to be an attractive partner beyond the superficial. It's a candid look at the importance of making oneself an asset in a relationship, and the non-negotiable qualities that lead to a lasting, flourishing partnership. Whether you're an empty nester rediscovering love or someone still hunting for that special someone, this episode holds nuggets of wisdom for every stage of the relationship journey.

(00:01) Wedding Gifts and Social Norms

This chapter we explore the controversial topic of a wedding invitation that went viral due to the couple asking guests to pay for their own meal instead of bringing traditional gifts. We discuss the various opinions on whether this approach is tacky or practical, considering the social expectations tied to wedding etiquette. We debate the personal feelings that come with such an invitation, the financial implications for the guests, and whether or not this could become an acceptable trend. We also consider how this payment request could affect the decision to attend the wedding and the potential impact on gift-giving norms. The discussion highlights differing viewpoints on the value of presence versus presents at a wedding celebration.

(08:52) Relationships, Lies, and Data

This chapter kicks off with a lively discussion about the value of meet and greets, specifically pondering the rationale behind paying $10,000 for a chance to meet a celebrity from OnlyFans. We then transition into the intriguing world of relationships and sexual dynamics among married couples, where I share surprising statistics about the frequency of oral sex. The conversation gets even more interesting as we touch on the topic of honesty in self-reporting sexual habits and preferences, referencing the book "Everybody Lies" and how big data reveals our true behaviors, contrasting with what we claim on surveys. I also bring up some of the most common insecurities among men and women, gleaned from internet search trends, which opens up a candid discussion about gender-specific concerns in sexual relationships.

(17:41) Dating in 2024

This chapter opens with a lighthearted look at the modern dating scene, as I share anecdotes from a dinner with friends about the fears and realities of online dating. We discuss how my experience as a bakery owner has shown me the success stories of couples meeting online, challenging the skepticism of my single friend. The conversation turns to the practicality of using interview techniques to screen potential partners, emphasizing the importance of situational questions to reveal true character traits. We touch on the viral story of a woman's TikTok series detailing her marriage to a narcissist, pondering the impact of sharing personal stories online and the subsequent community reactions, including feelings of bravery, shame, and solidarity among listeners with similar experiences. The discussion encapsulates the complexity of relationships in today's digital age, the potential for deception, and the need for discernment in pursuit of genuine connections.

(30:38) Navigating Communication and Conflict in Relationships

This chapter focuses on a fresh approach to dating, where I suggest using direct questions to uncover compatibility with a potential partner more efficiently. We explore the idea of treating a date like an interview, humorously presenting a list of questions that can reveal deeper values such as the importance of compromise, communication, and handling conflict. I share anecdotes to illustrate how responses to these questions can be red flags or signs of a good match. We emphasize the importance of respect and self-control in relationships, considering how vengeful communication can harm the connection between partners. The chapter wraps up by highlighting that understanding a person's true character and their approach to problem-solving is crucial in determining the potential success of a relationship.

(43:16) Relationship Perspectives and Deal Breakers

This chapter finds us reflecting on the richness of life as empty nesters and how our relationship has flourished to its strongest point yet, making the thought of loss unbearable. We explore the pivotal role of communication and respect in sustaining this bond, and why these, alongside personal growth, are our top priorities in a partnership. Touching on the complexities of intimacy, we candidly discuss the importance of sexual compatibility, and whether size really matters in the grand scheme of things. The chapter concludes by contemplating the challenging dynamics men may face with insecurities and how these are navigated within relationships.

(50:37) The Key to Lasting Relationships

This chapter examines the idea that personal growth is key to both finding a soulmate and enhancing existing relationships. We discuss the six dimensions of wellbeing, as recommended by Carol Reif, and how focusing on self-improvement can make one an irreplaceable partner. We touch on the importance of recognizing one's value and contribution to a relationship, and the need to work on becoming an asset. We also reflect on the transformative power of setting aside distractions like sports and video games in favor of engaging more meaningfully with one's partner. Throughout, we highlight that continuous self-improvement and being thoughtful in actions can lead to a more fulfilling and lasting relationship.

(56:43) Qualities of an Attractive Partner

This chapter explores the importance of maintaining personal effort and presentation in long-term relationships, using my grandmother's transformation before my grandfather's arrival as a springboard for discussing why it matters to make an effort for our partners. I reflect on the idea that this practice isn't about outdated gender roles but about mutual respect and desire. We then turn to the six attributes identified by psychologist Carol Reif that make someone an asset in a relationship, including self-acceptance, personal growth, having a purpose, mastering one's environment, autonomy, and positive relationships with others. These attributes resonate with us as indicators of a well-rounded, attractive partner. Additionally, we touch on the significance of how someone treats others, such as service staff or the homeless, as a measure of character and a potential red flag in relationships.

(01:02:28) Signs of Healthy Relationships

This chapter opens with a personal anecdote about recognizing red flags in relationships, highlighting the importance of humility and respect for others, regardless of one's status or possessions. We explore the essential qualities needed for positive, healthy relationships, including treatment of others, maintaining warm connections, showing empathy, and the ability to be affectionate and understanding. Additionally, I emphasize the concept of making oneself an asset in relationships and the value of situational interview questions during dates to ensure compatibility. The conversation also touches on the significance of sexual compatibility, with a candid mention of the relevance of size. The overall message is clear: personal growth and mutual respect are key to leveling up in relationships.

Leadership Styles and Effective Communication

Tune in as we revisit the four predominant leadership styles – aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive, and assertive – and discuss how an assertive approach, which harmonizes honesty with respect, can cultivate a climate of trust and clarity. Our exchange also delves into how feedback, despite its intent, is often perceived and the art of appreciating assertive communication when on the receiving end.

The conversation then pivots to the crucial skill of conflict resolution, as we explore a practical four-step method for expressing frustrations constructively within professional environments. Using the relatable scenario of dealing with late payments from clients or vendors, we highlight the value of assertive communication in maintaining professional relationships and the importance of setting clear expectations from the outset. For those feeling more passive, fear not – we share strategies and insights on developing assertiveness, a skill that can be honed to confidently enforce boundaries and handle conflicts with finesse. 

We also address the challenge of maintaining an assertive mindset when dealing with clients who do not prioritize timely payments, offering valuable insights for IT professionals. 

Finally, we shift our focus to the dynamics of assertive leadership in collaborative settings and subcontractor management. Listen in as I share strategies for fostering participation and idea-sharing among team members, ensuring everyone's perspective is valued. We tackle the Star Trek analogy of effective decision-making in a utopian team environment and how assertive, inclusive leadership can prevent resentment and dissatisfaction. Moreover, we dissect the complexities of working with subcontractors, stressing the necessity of clear expectations and mutual respect to mitigate potential leadership and business process disruptions. 

Summary

• The four styles of leadership discussed are aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive, and assertive, each characterized by different dimensions of honesty, kindness, and respect.
• Maintaining an assertive mindset involves being in the right headspace, using a framework for assertive communication, and approaching conversations with rationality and reason.
• A framework for assertive communication includes identifying the bothersome action or behavior, understanding associated feelings, defining the desired outcome or boundary, and determining the next steps if nothing changes.

Key quotes:

“We all carry these behaviors into relationships because we have a history of being wounded, damaged, hurt, manipulated, lied to." — Lisa Shield 

"And I would just see some men get smaller and smaller and smaller, they become children again, and the wife becomes the mother." — Benjamin Shield

“Growing up as a child, it was humiliating for me to see my father belittled." — Benjamin Shield

"I think it's because we love each other so much and we're able to have fun and play and trust each other and have a lot of space." — Lisa Shield 

"Let's say that a man makes a mistake. Let's say that he gets drunk one night, he's on a business trip, he sleeps with a woman one time, and he goes and tells his wife because he wants to be clear. She could hold that over him for decades. Decades. And so there's this hierarchy where he's feeling controlled by his mistake." — Benjamin Shield 

"One of the most controlling behaviors is when anyone makes a mistake in a relationship, and his partner cannot move into a place of forgiveness...holding it over your partner is one of the worst forms of control." — Lisa Shield

“[The silent treatment] is so controlling because you can't talk about it. And so you just sit, and you don't even know sometimes what it's about…And it's just like suddenly someone just is silent and turns away, and horrible – horrible! There's no resolving it, and the person is in complete control when the relationship starts going out." — Benjamin Shield

"If you're a woman, you may be in a relationship with a man who's controlling, who's doing some of the same things. control in relationships doesn't work. There is a better way." — Lisa Shield

S4 Episode 8: Keeping Score Will Make Everyone a Loser

Episode Summary

Becoming a couple means compromise and a willingness to take turns.  While it is natural to want your romantic relationship to be equitable, it is more difficult to achieve in reality.  For many, keeping score is a way to enforce this idea of fairness.  Unfortunately, it is misguided and often leads to resentment in the relationship.

Constant comparison in a relationship is unproductive and unhealthy.  Resources will never be evenly distributed between the two members of the couple.  Whether it is time, money, sleep or responsibilities, one person will always feel as though they received the short end of the stick.

Instead of keeping track of who did what, you should focus on behaviors that support the relationship as a unit.  Reshape your perspective and divide tasks or responsibilities in a manner that each person is playing to their strengths.  Work with your partner to focus on the positive things you are providing for one another instead of what is lacking.  Don’t let entitlement drive the relationship.

At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss when your partner forgets about or ignores dates and things you feel are important in the relationship.

Show Notes

It’s pretty common to keep score in a relationship, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a habit worth keeping. In fact, it can be detrimental to your relationship because it colors the way you see every interaction you have. Keeping score can keep you from being present and experiencing positive aspects of your relationship in the moment.

You also might be keeping score in your head without communicating to your partner about the things they’re doing that may be irritating you. This can lead your feelings to fester. On the other hand, if you’re always verbalizing the score, it can lead to an unhealthy way of going tit-for-tat with your partner.

If you’re counting who’s winning, you’re also counting who’s losing. You end up missing out on building yourself up as a team. A healthier way of managing these situations is to open communication and start working together. Recognize what each of you brings to the table and play to your strengths.

It’s normal to have a little back and forth of keeping score. But if your partner always seems to get what they want and need without compromise, this could signal a much bigger problem. In a relationship, no one can get what they want all the time. But no matter what, you deserve to feel seen and heard by your partner.

In this episode, the vent session topic is: When your partner doesn’t remember dates or details that you deem important. Maybe it’s just not as important to them – or maybe “forgetting” helps them avoid conflict. Expecting your partner to remember significant things in your life puts an unfair burden on them.

S4 Episode 7: Every Person Needs to Be Selfish in a Relationship, Just Make Sure to Take Turns

Episode Summary

When two people come together in a partnership, there is often the expectation that individual autonomy takes a back seat to the couple’s wants and needs. This is the quickest way to breed resentment in a relationship.  Instead, each person should work in tandem to achieve common goals while still preserving their mental, emotional and physical health.

One of the only ways to make sure your individual wants and needs are being met is to be slightly selfish when the opportunity presents itself.  Prioritizing self-preservation is what reinforces a couple’s bond.  When there is mutual respect, trust, empathy, acceptance and accountability in a relationship, prioritizing your own needs and wants at times is not only possible, but encouraged.

The key to a successful relationship is recognizing that each member of the partnership will have times when they need support and other times provide support to their partner. Relationship problems arise when one partner always places their own wants and needs as a priority over the other without ever considering the impact it is having on their partner and relationship.

At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss when people are under the mistaken belief that their relationship is special or unique.

Show Notes

Are you taking into account your partner’s needs and wants, or do you tend to prioritize your own? The truth is that it’s okay to be selfish in a relationship sometimes. Putting your physical, mental, and emotional health above anyone else’s is okay. You can’t take care of other people if you are running on empty.

In a relationship, it’s easy for this to get lost. The word “selfish” gets a bad reputation, but there are shades of selfishness. In some forms it can be destructive, but in other forms it can also promote self-preservation. Another way to think of it is making yourself versus the other person a priority.

At different times in your relationship, you may need more support. For example, if you’re in school, you may need more financial support. However, it’s important to take turns and be there for your partner in the times when they need your support more, whether that’s emotionally, mentally, financially, or in another way.

Being selfish does not mean feeling entitled to have your needs and wants placed above those of your partner. That will just lead to resentment. It’s about constructively building together and knowing when to put your partner’s needs first. It’s all about ensuring there’s a balance between both individuals.

In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people think their relationship is special or unique. Humans tend to follow predictable patterns. When people think no one else can possibly understand their feelings, it’s insulting and immature. A person who believes this ends up being screwed over due to their arrogance.

Oyku, Co-Founder & CEO of Beyond, was a recent guest on the podcast. She discussed her personal journey of self-discovery and how it led to the creation of the app. Growing up in a society that put a lot of pressure on traditional relationships, Oyku struggled to find her place in the dating world. After leaving a monogamous relationship, she explored her bisexuality and began to question the societal expectations placed on relationships. This led her to discover alternatives to traditional monogamy and eventually create Beyond, a dating app that focuses on self-discovery and autonomy in dating.

Oyku emphasized the importance of open communication and mutual respect in any type of partnership, whether it be monogamous or ethically non-monogamous. She also spoke about the struggles of navigating her sexuality in a culture that often stigmatizes anything that deviates from the norm. Despite these challenges, Oyku has found liberation in owning her sexuality and identity, and hopes to provide a safe space for others to do the same through the app.

Overall, Oyku's journey serves as a reminder that societal expectations should never hold us back from exploring our true selves and finding fulfilling relationships.

ANDRE: DECIDING THE RIGHT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

“Something that's going to be sustainable for a period of time, I'm not really into the short, quick stuff. It's about building and growing and creating that environment that will literally sustain and the test of time.”

"The more that I have a tendency to just give advice, the less likely I am to be good at discerning whether it's what somebody else needs."
