We are thrilled to have journalist/author/podcaster Liz Plank join us to discuss the state of men, dating, and the country. We talk about masculinity and feminism, and the illuminating research about what type of society benefits both genders the most. We dive into dating and mating – which careers are the best and worst to date (ie. actors vs. athletes), what to do when you know your "type" is wrong for you, why women should be pickier when selecting a partner, and the decision of having kids. Lastly, we talk about the state of the world and Liz's impactful advice for coping in these unprecedented times, and end answering some boy problems from our listeners ranging from "the sex is good but he's boring" to "I don't want to change my last name." Before Liz joins us, we dive into an email from a listener who doesn't know if she should confront her best friend about her relationship, and we debate the sentiment "Drunk words are sober thoughts."
