Psychologist and relationship coach Sadia Khan joins James Smith to unpack the problem with dating apps, modern relationships, and the illusion of infinite choice. Together they explore why technology has made commitment harder, attraction more confusing and why everyone - men and women alike - are struggling to connect in an age of endless swiping.
Sadia reveals the psychology behind sex appeal, status and loyalty, explaining how dopamine, dating culture and false advice online are reshaping human relationships. From incel culture and OnlyFans to the fear of rejection and emotional detachment, this is a raw, unfiltered conversation about what’s gone wrong with love… and how to fix it.
She explains:
◼️ Why dating apps destroy genuine connection
◼️ How “too many options” kills commitment
◼️ The truth about sex appeal and attraction
◼️ Why men and women misunderstand each other online
◼️ The rise of transactional relationships in the digital age
