265th Date: “Men Are the Problem in Relationships? Our FIRST Podcast Episode Gets Heated”

About this episode

The episode features the first recording of the Relationship Status Podcast, discussing various relationship dynamics and societal expectations regarding men and women.

Seven years. Yup… SEVEN. Somehow we’ve been doing this long enough to qualify as a long-term relationship. Welcome back to the Relationship Status Podcast. V is out today, but this episode is special. Like digging through the archives and finding something you forgot existed special. To celebrate our anniversary, we’re taking y’all all the way back to the beginning—before the podcast had a name, before we knew what we were doing (arguably we still don’t), and before the many debates that would come over the years. What you’re about to hear is the very first recording of the Relationship Status Podcast. And here’s the crazy part: This episode has never been heard before. Not by the listeners… not by Nique… not by CL… nobody. So yes, we’re basically exposing our podcast baby pictures to the world. Inside this throwback conversation, we somehow jump into topics like: Why men might actually be the problem in relationships (depending on who you ask ) Whether men are allowed to cry or if society still says “man up” Why women always want “just a little more” (their words, not ours… kinda) If men and women can really be just friends after seeing each other naked Why people date someone…
