Ep. 25 Fuck Yes or No: The Dating Filter That Changes Everything

For today’s episode, “Fuck Yes or No: The Dating Filter That Changes Everything,” I’m sharing a powerful concept made famous by Mark Manson, a simple yet game-changing rule: if both people aren’t a “Fuck Yes” about being with each other, it’s a no. I’ll walk you through how this mindset can save you from endless grey-area situationships, stop you from settling, and help you focus on building connections that are genuinely mutual. Mark Manson blogpost: https://markmanson.medium.com/fuck-yes-or-no-6e95a409545b📝 For more bite-sized content, check out my blog on Medium: ⁠https://medium.com/@pattu-v01⁠ 💌 Got a story you’d like to share?
