This episode may come off as a bit weird up front, as it’s the first
show we’ve ever published to BOTH The Mountain Top and
X & Y On The Fly feeds.

But hey…we figured this is a timely conversation everyone can
and should have, and also (more obviously) Emily and I are
co-hosting this one together.

What that led to was getting Emily's female perspective on LOTS
of the thorniest (and horniest?) topics we cover around here.

So get ready for an action-packed experience.  Take a deep
breath before clicking the play button because we're in full-tilt
"fluff free" mode and hit the ground running.

We talk candidly–and at times controversially–about how dating,
relating and even socializing itself have changed in the last
decade, and how we ourselves control what the next decade holds.

What about online dating, apps and social media? Shouldn’t it
be easier than ever for men and women to meet, attract each
other and build relationships?

But instead, men and women appear to have lost touch with
how to relate to each other.

It’s as if we as a human race have gotten better than ever at
mere social manipulation, and place a higher value on that
than real connection.

As a result, are people justified in questioning the value of even
pursuing a relationship nowadays?

Have people in general become more pessimistic toward the
other gender?

And wait until you get Emily’s take on how the #MeToo
movement has influenced dating and relating.  She hit the
nail on the head.

But the ultimate question is with regard to what happens
going forward. What do we as a society really want from our
relationships with each other?
