Somewhere along the way, dating became a game... and men and women started treating each other like opposing teams.
Don't text back too quickly. Don't seem too interested. Don't show how much you care. Maintain the upper hand. Protect yourself. Make them chase you.
And then we wonder why connection feels so damn difficult.
In Episode 10 of Love, Lies & The Truth, we talk about the strange power struggle that can exist between men and women... in dating, relationships, and sometimes in the culture itself.
We explore the games people play to avoid vulnerability, the resentment that builds when neither person feels understood, and the expectations men and women can place on each other without ever actually talking about what they need.
Amy shares how years of disappointing relationships led her to become angry with men... and what happened when she began seeing men as individuals instead of the enemy. Jonathan talks about spending much of his life wanting emotional intimacy without understanding how to create it... trapped inside an idea of what a man was supposed to be and everything he wasn't supposed to feel.
And somewhere in the conversation, a bigger question emerges:
What becomes possible when we stop trying to win against each other?
Maybe our differences aren't the problem.
Maybe the problem begins when we stop being curious about those differences... when we expect the other person to think like us, communicate like us, need what we need, and play the role we've decided they're supposed to play.
Because underneath the dating rules, the gender wars, the scorekeeping and all the bullshit...
there are usually just two human beings who want to be seen, understood, loved and connected.
Maybe we don't need to get better at playing the game.
Maybe we need to stop playing it.
