Is old-school dating really incompatible with modern dating apps?
About this episode
The episode explores the clash between traditional dating values and modern dating app culture through the perspective of a single dad.
Michel is a successful single dad and self-described traditionalist who believes in asking a woman out, planning the date, and paying for it. But when it comes to dating apps, he says finding a woman who appreciates his values feels nearly impossible. In this episode, we dive into modern dating culture, dating app expectations, and whether traditional romance still has a place in today's swipe-driven world. Do dating apps reward effort—or misunderstand it? ⚠️ Warning: Strong opinions, honest takes, and zero sugarcoating ahead.
