Situationships of Yore w/ Carina Hsieh
Julia is joined by Carina Hsieh, Deputy Features Editor at Women's Health and the writer widely credited with inventing the term "situationship," to revisit the term's origins and assess the current state of modern dating. They trace the history of dating from courtship and going steady to hookup culture and dating apps, unpack the anxious-avoidant trap, and examine whether dating advice reels, and other online rules actually protect women from heartbreak or just give them more ways to blame themselves. Digressions include the bygone thrill of being pinned, men who self-report as securely attached, and the horror of buying a cheater a PS5 with your own money.
