How does success impact dating and relationships?
He was so upset that his mum even took me aside and asked me not to mention my ATAR to his grandma as it makes him feel inferior.
I either have them completely remove me, I won't hear from them, or on a few occasions I've actually had them flat out say that they are intimidated.
That's giving incel. That is. That right there. Yeah. I think when they come across like a partner who's like more successful than them, then they're like, oh, well then what do I have to offer them? You have realized that men are attracted to the idea of your success, but then in the actual day to day reality of it isn't what the guy wants.
Hi, I'm Dee Salvin and I have successfully been UTI free for about a year and a half until now. Oh, zero days since incident. Zero days.
Zero days.
Since incident. I had a really good run. I got back my urine sample positive. Yeah. I'm that bitch. It actually felt good to have a positive test for once. So I'm on the 80s. Validating. And we're going through the wars, aren't we, Pip? Yeah, I'd say hi, I'm Pip Rasmussen. I'm successful at like rarely getting sick. It's probably been about six months. And then today, boom, in the actual wars. If you're watching this, I'm wearing a mask. It's like very COVID throwback. It's very COVID throwback. The doors even opened to the studio. We sprayed around. The videographers have left the room. Like, I feel like patient zero. I feel really bad. I'm really scared of getting people sick. You know Taylor Lorenz, actually?
Yeah, yeah.
She wears a mask in all of her podcasts because she's very pro-mask. Oh. I actually feel like her now. I actually agree. I'm like, bring the mask back because I was on a plane last night. This is why we are doing this podcast with Pipsick because – I'm still jet-setting around Australia. Book tours. She's touring. I was in Brisbane, Gold Coast. I have a window today of six hours to record this podcast and I go to Perth. So it is the only moment we have. But even last night on the plane, I was like, there's a guy coughing next to me. Out in the open.
I couldn't believe it. They need to hand out masks again on planes.
Masks should be, bring back masks. No, literally. Bring back, PIP is starting a trend. I'm bringing it back. Well, let's get into a non-sick related article. Okay, let's get into the episode and stop talking about being sick. This episode is inspired by an article that people and I came across recently. The headline is by The Guardian and the headline said, Single women are buying more houses. The men they are dating are not responding well. This is interesting because maybe a couple of years ago now we sort of covered this angle of success and dating and we had spoken to somebody who on their dating profile had her job, which was. Aerospace engineer. Yeah, I was like something to do with astronaut. Yeah, Caroline, aerospace engineer.
Yeah. And she basically realized when she took her job off of her profile, she would get way more matches. Yeah. So when we saw this article came up, we were like, oh, we should come back to this and see what the vibe is now. Because that was a couple of years ago and just see if people were still relating. There's a real disconnect happening in heterosexual dating where women are becoming way more independent. We know that their education rates are higher than men. We know career wise, buying houses. So according to the National Association of Realtors, 2025 profile of homebuyers and sellers. Single women now make up 25% of US first-time homebuyers, more than twice the percentage of single men, which is at 10%.
Wow.
And a really alarming stat as well in the article, Pip. when outpaced by female partners in traditional markers of wealth and status such as income. This is kind of why we wanted to unpack this. And in this episode, we are going to kind of do the gender of it all, but we wanted to open it up to everybody. So like our queer and poly friends, hetero, homosexual, wherever you're at, and sort of how you're finding dating and relationships when it comes to success. Is this something that is holding you back?
