Are They An Avoidant Or Just Not Into You?

This week on Worth The Wait, Sarah and I kick off another round of Fuck That Guy Palooza—and this one’s a doozy. We start with a listener letter about a woman who put together a thoughtful care package for a guy she’d been seeing for two months… only to get a text back that basically said, “Cool stuff, but calm down, Fatal Attraction.” We break down whether that kind of response is emotionally unavailable, avoidant, or just plain rude—and why so many women internalize shame when men show zero empathy.Then we dive into a second letter from someone dating a guy who’s “nice” but totally shut off emotionally. We talk about how to tell the difference between avoidant behavior and a man who’s simply not invested—and why consistency is the key.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?
