Everyone I know my age has a theory about why dating got so grim. My guest this week has a different one, and it stung a little.
Scot McKay has coached men and women through dating for twenty years, and in all that time, I’d never once interviewed a male dating coach. He’s blunt, a bit contrarian, and he made a case I wasn’t expecting.
Here’s what we cover:
Why the golden age of online dating died with the swipe (and what came after)
The “mutual surrender” has quietly replaced the war of the sexes
Why health became my number one dealbreaker (and no, I won’t apologise for it)
“Deserve what you want,” not “get what you deserve,” and what changes when you flip it
The one force no app, algorithm, or angry man online will ever switch off
If everyone else has given up on partnership, the people who haven’t just got the field to themselves. Scott calls it less competition. I call it the best reason I’ve heard to stay in the game.
