#581 - Are You “The Idiot” in Your Dating Life?

from The Gary Gunn Show Podcast · host Gary Gunn

Does modern society make finding love harder? Have money, status, beauty and endless choice turned dating into a marketplace where people are judged like products? In this episode, I explore Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic novel *The Idiot* and what it can teach us about modern dating. Through Prince Myshkin, Nastasya Filippovna and Rogozhin, we’ll explore kindness being mistaken for weakness, the destructive power of beauty, jealousy, obsession, status, self-worth and the desire to rescue someone. Most importantly, we’ll ask whether you can remain a good, sincere man in modern dating without becoming naïve, manipulated or, as Dostoevsky might put it, “the idiot”.
