In this candid conversation, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jeremiah Carter (what a strong name!). If you're seeking a male perspective on dating and relationships, look no further. The good guys do exist, I promise. 

Together, we delve into the male experience navigating today's complex dating landscape amidst cancel culture. Jeremiah opens up about his personal journey with therapy, providing valuable insights into the challenges and growth he has encountered. Our conversation also explores societal expectations placed on both men and women, shedding light on the nuances of these dynamics. Jeremiah shares candidly about his own dating journey, offering a genuine and relatable perspective. We even talk about toxic relationships and why they are so intoxicating.
