She breaks down the three levels of authenticity: knowing yourself, owning your true personality, and making sure your actions line up with who you really are. Franny also points out that being genuine isn’t just key to finding the right partner—it’s also how you can experience more joy and fulfillment in your life. Key points: - Dating norms have shifted, and the old ways of thinking no longer match the complexity of modern relationships. - Authenticity is essential to finding compatibility with a partner.
