Modern Dating: Choosing Connection Over Attention With Matthew Hussey
In this new episode of Man Enough, we are joined by renowned dating coach and New York Times best selling author Matthew Hussey, who brings his expert insights into modern dating, emphasizing the importance of building connections that go beyond superficial interactions. The conversation delves into the common traps of today's dating culture, which often lead people into patterns of avoidance and isolation. We talk about how this is particularly affecting young men and Matthew provides specific tips to help shift our perspectives.
Co-host Jamey Heath highlights the importance of prioritizing friendship as a foundation for romantic relationships while Liz vulnerably shares her fear and personal frustration with dating.
