from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

If you could go back and give your teenage or early 20s self one piece of advice about dating, what would you tell them?For Dee Salmin, host of triple j's sex and relationships show The Hook Up, there were enough gems to fill an entire book. The modern dating scene is a far cry from the one portrayed in fairytales, rom coms and the stories that most of us grew up with, yet so many outdated ideals still persist.From ditching the "cool girl" persona to dismantling the love hierarchy, she shares the biggest lessons from her new book, and why the response from Mums has been the most surprising.
