Let's Go Gals, We're Deprogramming: Why Women Need To Stop Picking the Underdog
Explicit content warning
04/07/25 • 46 min
Who doesn't love rom-coms? Probably the good-looking, wealthy men they've taught women not to pick. Whether it's The Notebook or Celine Song's upcoming A24 film The Materialists, women are often told to go after the down-trotted, underdog man who doesn't have much to give the girl except all of his love and admiration. Meanwhile, there is a charming, sexy, wealthy gentleman who is just as good for her left waiting in the wings. It's perfectly okay for women to choose the richer man, and that doesn't make her a golddigger! We're exploring this topic and more in today's episode. Enjoy!
