In this episode, we dive into the character of Conrad Fisher from The Summer I Turned Pretty and why he’s become the internet’s ultimate Gen Z heartthrob. More than just a brooding love interest, Conrad embodies something we don’t often see in men today: patience, devotion, and the courage to be vulnerable. We’ll talk about how his unwavering love for Belly brought yearning back into the cultural conversation, why so many women are obsessed with him, and what his character reveals about modern dating, where ghosting and “situationships” have replaced risk and romance.
