Description

This episode examines the growing challenges of dating in the digital era, particularly among young men who are fearful of asking women out due to the risk of being secretly recorded or publicly rejected online. Viral humiliation has replaced simple heartbreak, leading to widespread avoidance and anxiety. Billionaire Bill Ackman suggested a polite approach—“May I meet you?”—but even that sparked backlash across social media. The conversation expands into generational shifts in identity, online validation, bitterness, and overly curated personas. As culture shifts toward perpetual performance, we question how anyone can form real, vulnerable connections in a world where every interaction could become content.
