Ever wonder if your dating standards are helping or hurting your chances at real connection? In this candid conversation, Kefla and Cree dive into the surprising ways modern dating has evolved—and not always for the better.
We kick things off with hilarious everyday moments, from classroom "silent but violent" situations to Labor Day family gatherings that remind us what matters most. When discussion turns to a viral dating show clip where a woman rejects a man solely for wearing an Apple Watch with his suit, we unpack how superficial standards might be keeping many of us from meaningful relationships.
The most thought-provoking question emerges: "Would you date yourself?" Before creating that wishlist of perfect partner qualities, shouldn't we first embody those traits ourselves? We share the story of a woman demanding a partner with "no baby mamas and no young children" while herself having three children with different fathers—highlighting the disconnect between what we expect and what we offer.
As Kefla approaches his 51st birthday, he reflects on memorable celebrations and sets intentions for the year ahead. Despite health challenges like COVID-related lung damage and AFib, his determination to improve fitness, complete his master's degree, and revive abandoned hobbies demonstrates that age becomes something to celebrate rather than fear.
The episode wraps with our traditional "side eye of the week" and expressions of gratitude for the spaces and people that bring us peace. Whether you're navigating the dating world, reflecting on personal growth, or simply enjoying relatable conversations, this episode offers both wisdom and laughter in equal measure.
