Digital Delusion: How Online Attention Rewrites Our Expectations of Love

Send us a text

This episode exposes the digital mirage of modern romance — where texting chemistry creates excitement, but real-life connection falls flat.

Eric, Erica, and Ruby dive into why online flirtation so often fizzles offline, breaking down the psychology behind the digital dopamine rush that keeps us hooked on the idea of connection while ignoring the lack of substance.

We unpack:

• Why false intimacy thrives behind screens
• How emotional exposure gets mistaken for emotional availability
• Why some men peak in the DMs and disappear in real life
• How constant messaging replaces real presence
• And how to vet for genuine connection beyond the screen

No sugarcoating. No excuses.
Just raw truth — and the tools you need to stop chasing digital chemistry and start choosing real connection.
