🎙️ This episode is a fun, insightful segment where you explore things men commonly find annoying in women — while Date Doctor DC offers a balanced, empathetic take.

Tired of hearing “men are trash” and “she’s so dramatic”? 🙄 We’re cutting through the noise and diving into the real dating pet peeves from the male perspective — with a twist. 🔄

👀 Why do women say “I’m fine” when they’re not?
📱 Is it that deep if she takes selfies all the time?
🧠 Why does every date feel like a therapy session?

We take his complaint, give it her perspective, and serve up some ✨ actual insight ✨.

We break down “icks” in a funny, brutally honest way — the little things we women do that make men suddenly lose interest 💔… and the psychology behind it 🧬.

Lastly, Date Doctor DC leans on Marie Kondo’s method of dating 🧺💖:
Keep the people who spark joy 💫 and gently let go of what no longer serves you 🚪👋

In essence:
Treat your dating life like your closet. Keep it clean, keep it cute, and don’t keep what gives you the ick. 🧼👗💘

From public heartbreaks to powerful glow-ups, these celebs turned pain into power:

• Jennifer Aniston stayed graceful and booked movies.

• Taylor Swift made heartbreak a business model.

• Selena Gomez chose self-love and mental health.

• Shakira dropped a diss track and danced her way to freedom.

💔 ➡️ ✨ Proof that even the most public breakups can lead to iconic comebacks.

Later in the episode we unpack the juicy question: Do men chase success, wealth, and nice things because of women? The answer? Kind of yes, kind of no — but mostly, it’s complicated.

We explore:

• How evolutionary psychology suggests men have always sought status to attract mates (cue caveman with a crypto wallet).

• Why women often serve as the mirror that reflects a man’s worth back to him.

• The twist: Many men start grinding for women’s attention… but end up chasing validation from other men or from success itself.

• The deeper truth: Success becomes the new seduction — not the relationship.

And finally, we ask: If no one was watching, would he still want to “win”?

💭 Tune in for the hot take, stay for the existential crisis.

• One of date doctors bff's discussed the perils that cute girls may undergo if you chase instead of attract, several emotional, psychological, and even relational consequences can unfold. these omens are discussed in this weeks episodes

  💔 1. You Devalue Yourself

  • Perception of desperation: Chasing someone often signals that you’re willing to compromise your self-respect to gain their attention or affection.

  • Power imbalance: You hand over your emotional power, giving the other person control over your worth, time, and effort.

    😞 2. You Lower Your Standards

  • You may start accepting breadcrumbs of attention, confusing them for love.

  • You settle for being chosen occasionally instead of being a priority.

    🧠 3. You Become Emotionally Drained

  • Constant pursuit can lead to mental exhaustion, anxiety, and overthinking.

  • You’re left wondering what you did wrong when, in reality, they were never meant for you.

  • People you chase are often not emotionally available or not that interested.

    🚩 4. You Chase an Illusion

  • You end up idealizing them, overlooking red flags or incompatibilities just for the hope of reciprocation.

    🧲 5. You Block the Right People

  • While you’re busy chasing, you’re unavailable to the ones who would naturally choose you.

    🧘‍♀️ The Alternative: Attract by Being

  • Attraction is magnetic; when you're grounded in self-worth, you draw in the right kind of energy and people.

  • Focus on healing, self-respect, and authenticity.

  • Invest in yourself, set boundaries, and let people reveal their intentions.

  • What’s meant for you will be effortless and mutual, not a one-sided pursuit.

  • Overall Helga and Date Doctor want you all to have a sweet love and WE'RE ALL GONNA GET IT <3 (this is a threat)

• • "Chasing someone who doesn't want you is the fastest way to lose yourself."
