The first presidential debate of 2024 was revealing. We saw, quiet clearly, that the two candidates running for office were, in fact, incapable of being the leader of the free world. How does this apply to dating and relationships, you might ask? Well, the world is filled with Donald Trumps and Joe Bidens. One is selfish and untrustworthy. The other is a nice guy who is not capable of the job. So, what should you do, as the CEO of your love life, when you run across men like these? Check out...

Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match... at a certain point, you've tried all the apps and you're getting burned out. It's so bad, you become convinced that the best way to find a partner is to stop dating online, lead your best life, and hope that you run into a quality, relationship-oriented single man. It may feel good to take a break from online dating; the problem is that "real-life" doesn't provide many opportunities for dating. In this episode, I acknowledge the flaws of online dating and...

We all engage in wishful thinking, to some degree. Even when the evidence points to the answer being no, we find some sliver of hope that it can become a yes. Nowhere is this more evident than in dating.

Online dating apps have done two things: 1. Given men and women infinite options at their fingertips, 2. Tortured those same men and women since so few of those options pan out.

Starting from the first date and going chronologically through the relationship, I outline the red flags that should cause you to cut bait and find a more enthusiastic man. 🔥 Take...

You know the feeling. You go on a great date or two. You catch feelings. You start to think about a future. You sleep with him.

Even good relationships involve conflict and compromise. You know what it's like to be with a guy who isn't a fair fighter. He raises his voice. He shuts down. He hurls insults. He brings up other arguments. He doubles down and escalates the conflict even when he's mistaken. You don't want to be that guy. In this Love U Podcast, I share a communication technique that I learned twenty years ago that I still use today. This one is a relationship-saver. 🫶 Subscribe to Lovesplaining for free:...

When you've been hurt and disappointed, it's easy to assume that the next guy is going to do the same. The problem is that not all men are bad. And if you're dating a nice, commitment-oriented guy and treat him like a composite of all the jerks you've dated in the past, you're never going to get a nice guy. In this podcast, I tell a powerful story about a client who came from an abusive background and is actively overcoming her trust issues in Love U. 🫶 Subscribe to Lovesplaining for free:...

You may find it annoying or triggering but it's common for men to ask you why you're still single. Instead of shutting down or overexplaining, it's important to be able to answer this question with poise and confidence.

My advice will likely surprise you. 🫶 Subscribe to Lovesplaining for free: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/substack 🔥 Take my quiz to find love now:...

I know it should seem obvious but the fact that I recorded a podcast about it means that plenty of women still find married men alluring. In this episode, we'll talk about why married men are often more romantic than single men AND 4 reasons why it absolutely doesn't matter and you should run far, far away from any married guy who shows interest in you. 🫶 Subscribe to Lovesplaining for free: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/substack 🔥 Take my quiz to find love now:...

If you didn't have a healthy nuclear family with loving married parents, its likely that you formed an attachment style that is either anxious or avoidant. But what happens when your anxiety turns into avoidance, and your avoidance turns into anxiety? This is something I see with women in Love U and a phenomenon that I felt was worth airing in today's episode. Your past doesn't have to predict your future; it just takes strength to make different choices with men. 🫶 Subscribe to...

My readers often ask me to create specific programs for them. "Why can't you create something for women in their 60's who are facing a smaller dating pool with men who are retired, widowed, unhealthy and dealing with erectile dysfunction?" The answer is that despite the unique challenges facing women of different ages, 95% of dating and relationship advice is universal. It's about confidence, communication, boundaries, beliefs, and the skill of learning to be more effective in dating. But, as...

You know the narrative. Men suck. There are no good ones left. They're all narcissists or losers or emotionally unavailable. The cute ones don't want to settle down. The ones who want to settle down aren't attractive. When you finally find one you like, the compromises are too great. I'm not here to argue with you. What I will say, as a happily married dating coach, is that you have two choices: accept him as he is or dump him. What you can't do is stay in a relationship with a man who you're...

What's the benefit of lasting love when being single is better than being in a bad relationship? In this Love U Podcast, I do my best to explain. 🫶 Subscribe to Lovesplaining for...
