Description

Modern dating isn’t just “cute kilig stories” anymore. It’s ghosting, orbiting, love bombing, FUBU, dating apps, and a whole generation trying to heal childhood wounds through romantic partners.


Twins Danah and Stacy Gutierrez unpack how media, MTV dating shows, hypersexual culture, and social media shaped the way they dated:


from FUBU “situationships” and toxic patterns,

to attachment styles, daddy issues, and why so many women settle for low-quality love just to feel chosen.


They talk about:


* How MTV, reality dating shows, and K-culture shaped their early views on love and sex

* Why so many relationships now start with sex and end in confusion

* Attachment styles, childhood wounds, and why you keep chasing emotionally unavailable people

* Dating apps, ego boosts, and why “options” can destroy real connection

* What healthy dating should look like: emotional safety, shared values, and building instead of performing


This isn’t a glamorization of their past, but a reckoning with it. If you’ve ever stayed with the wrong person just to feel seen, or molded yourself to fit a man’s preference, this conversation is for you.


Come for the chismis, stay for the uncomfortable truth, and maybe walk away with a little more clarity about why you date the way you do.
