  Worth the Lipstick?

  Aug 25, 202545 minS0

  <p>Regardless of your sexual orientation, age group, or where you live, dating in 2025 is more of a don’t than a do.  We are swiping left, swiping less, or not at all; many are simply tapping out.  Face-to-face human connection has become so 2000.  It is especially hard for straight women who long for romantic connection, but wind up empty-handed and left asking, “Are men worth the lipstick application?”  In this episode, Cecile leads the discussion sharing her thoughts and personal relationship experiences as we discuss the stats and real-life realities of wanting and dating today. </p>
