Part 14/17:
On the social implications, the hosts discuss the contradictory narratives concerning gender roles and expectations. They critique the trend of women creating "long-term girlfriend" dynamics—where women date men with no intention of commitment—yet broadcast their dissatisfaction when the men do not meet their deadlines for marriage or proposals.
They analyze a viral TikTok of a woman announcing she set a two-year "deadline" for her boyfriend to propose, which ended with her breaking up once the date arrived without engagement. The hosts argue this is a reflection of modern dating insecurities, societal expectations, and social media distorting personal relationships into public spectacles.
