Chapter 1: What are the top Gen Z dating trends for 2025?
Hey y'all, welcome back to Made It Out. We are in New York shooting so many exciting episodes for y'all and today is Willa Bennett, who's the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and Seventeen magazine. We talk about her life and her journey to the incredible position that she holds now and
Some of the trends that she sees is how Gen Z is becoming more monogamous, how hard it is to date people with different political views than yourself, and also meeting people in real life instead of on the dating apps. Such a fun episode. I hope you all enjoy it. Y'all have been hearing me come on here and talk about phone plans for a while.
And as you know, that's because I had a guest kind of call me out on how I needed to get off of my parents' cell phone plan. And I really gave that some thought, but I have to be honest, I'm not going to do that. Matilda and I did need a new phone line for Made It Out.
So of course we went to Mint Mobile because these other companies charge an arm and a leg and Mint Mobile has plans that start at $15 per month. Shop plans at mintmobile.com slash made. That's mintmobile.com slash made. Upfront payment of $45 for a three-month, five-gigabyte plan is required, and that's equivalent to $15 per month.

Chapter 2: How did Willa Bennett's journey shape her views on queerness?
And she gets upset if you're not responding. It's popping off. It's ding, ding, ding. I think that's sweet. I love like meeting the people I have dating parents. Like I think it's like so sweet and it's not like, that's not scary for me at all. To me, it's like a sign of love. Okay. I love this. So you haul, I guess. Will you tell people where they can find you? Yes.
