First and foremost, if you think even for a second that this episode is going to be about two dinosaurs reminiscing about the past, you’re in for a surprise. Given that we’ve been totally immersed in dating and relationship stuff for nearly 20 years, we’ve had our fingers on the pulse of how men and women relate for a LONG time. On top of that, with a milestone high school reunion coming up this year, I’ve found myself thinking about how dating and relating has evolved…and surprised myself with a few key revelations.

With all of that in mind, we have an honest, eye-opening conversation featuring straight talk about what we’re GLAD isn’t going on anymore. And yes, we also find a few examples of really good stuff that used to happen that just doesn’t anymore.

For instance, what good has the Internet done…but at what cost? How did ‘hookup culture’ change the game? How about pharmaceutical technology, of all things?

At what time in history were women the most attractive? Were some of the styles and behaviors of the past that we cringe at when we see old pictures really BETTER, not WORSE? Was dating really drudgery, and whatever it has evolved (or devolved?) into really better?

Have men forgotten how to be attractive? (Expect surprising answers on that one.) Is the post-modern version of seduction and courtship really different? What about texting vs. the now lost art of the phone call?

Let’s just say those questions were merely the warmup. Look forward to an entertaining yet brutally honest take on what should be brought back vs. what should be left in the past.
