Hello, my friend, Dee Salmon with you for The Hookup Podcast, where we talk all things love, sex, dating and relationships.

If you're new here, hello.

Every Tuesday, basically Pip, my co-host and I delve into a topic that either you've inspired, maybe you've DM'd us on our Instagram at Triple J The Hookup and you need help with something, or it's a debate you want us to unpack, or it's something that we see everyone's talking about online.

And that's what basically happened this week.

So a article went viral from The Guardian.

It says, single women are buying more houses, the men they are dating are not responding well.

And so many of you told us that you have.

So we unpacked it.

We spoke to you.

She is an award-winning writer.

She's an author and she's a speaker, journalist.

Her book, her latest book is called The Ambition Penalty.
