Social Media is not a Real Place with CBRO

Navigating the murky waters of modern love, we're joined by CBRO of the Dry Ass Water podcast for an honest dissection of relationship advice in the age of social media. Our conversation takes us from the flood of unasked-for guidance across our feeds to the real effects of internet culture on the authenticity of our romantic lives. As we unpack the complexities of privacy versus public declaration in relationships, we explore the ramifications of posting personal milestones online and how it impacts our loved ones.

Ever noticed the subtle tug to flaunt your relationship on social media or felt the sting of intrusion from prying eyes on your digital circle? We tackle these modern predicaments, weighing the pros and cons of seeking validation from outside the partnership. Our banter delves into the dynamic of active versus passive social media use in relationships and the delicate decision-making behind what, and whom, we allow into our online sanctuaries.

The lens then shifts to the mirage of reality TV dating and the sometimes dubious advice from public figures like the late Kevin Samuels. Bringing his unique perspective, CRBO helps dissect the presentation of romance on our screens versus the real deal. From the portrayal of single parenting in the dating world to the necessity of upholding personal standards, this episode doesn't shy away from challenging the misconceptions peddled by self-proclaimed love gurus. Join us for a candid look at the pursuit of genuine connection in a time where the line between real and virtual is ever-blurring.
