Maiden Myth #4: Single women are too desperate... no, too picky!

The Maiden Myth

Jan 18 2023 • 59 mins

Desperate or Picky: The two most common categories single women get thrown into by society. If she refuses to settle, she's picky. If she compromises, she's desperate. Today we are discussing if there is validity to this and where we believe we sit on the spectrum.

We have a special guest, Tryphena Wade, actress and writer (00:00). We begin by recapping Episode 3 (03:48) and explore our new standards now that we're older (09:00). Sophia shares the craziest thing she had on her "desired man" list (16:10) and how some things may not be standards but simply preferences (32:05).  But if you don't know the difference does that make you too picky? (37:45) Maybe us singles (women and men) who desire a mate are just looking the wrong way? (41:58) We end with the infamous question, "Who should pick up the tab?" (51:10)
