A Male Perspective on Friendship, Not Subscribing to Societal Standards, and Dating in Your 50s with Zach Smith

Send us Fan MailWe're joined today by our dear friend and guest Zach Smith as he shares his perspective on male friendship, not subscribing to societal standards of marriage and children for happiness, and what it's like dating in your 50s. Join us as we get in the weeds with Zach and dig deep on what best friendship looks like between adult men. Do they talk about the hard stuff? Do they tell each other they love each other? Are they communicating on multiple platforms at all times? Are they starting hypothetical businesses and fantasizing about the future together? Tune in to find out! Next, we've got questions about what makes him feel valuable as a man and his thought's about socioeconomic success and masculinity. Then we're diving into what, if any, pressure he felt over the years to pursue traditional values of marriage and family and why he ultimately chose not to. Next, we're discussing beauty standards and aging and we're wondering whether or not men feel similarly to women about having to subscribe to a certain look. In this conversation, Zach opens up about unkindness and discrimination he has experienced as someone living in a bigger body and exactly why he's unbothered by it. Finally we're getting the scoop on dating in your 50s, why Zach's not on the apps, and what a desirable partnership would look like at this stage in his life. As always we wrap up the episode with gripes about losers, lolly gaggers, and kid's toys and grapes to satisfying hygiene, nice days, and modern conveniences. We had fun with this one and we hope you enjoy! Follow us on IG, TikTok, and subscribe to our YouTube https://www.instagram.com/shesintheweedspod/https://www.tiktok.com/@shesintheweedspodhttps://www.youtube.com/@shesintheweedspod
