YI: The Love Bomb

About this episode

YI discusses love bombing, attraction, and dating strategies while sharing her personal experiences and views on relationships.

YI is the owner of fine jewelry brand YI Collection and former stylist for Vogue China.  Today we talk about “love bombing”, attraction, sex and the city…literally.  We talk about the differences in what men and women might be attracted to and the games we play when we’re in the chase.  We talk about rejection, self-worth, appearance vs personality, and judging faces.  YI shares her mindset after leaving a relationship of eight years, her views on independence, loneliness, monogamy, white expat men, and dating strategies like negging and acting dumb. We discuss ethnicity and identity as Chinese-Americans, changing beauty standards, and the importance of health and fitness in maintaining marriages and relationships.  We also talk about squat toilets.   Don't forget to leave a rating and subscribe! 节目文字版 (Transcript)加微信: THD_Official Add us on WeChat: THD_Official 小红书: THD The Honest Drink Email: thehonestdrink@gmail.com IG: thehonestdrink_ Find us on: Apple, Spotify, 小宇宙, 网易云音乐, 喜马拉雅, 小红书, Bilibili, YouTube.
