Episode 2 - Compete Where You Can Win

from Handsome Hour · host Stony Grunow, Cody Zervas, Wes Myers

This week on The Handsome Hour, Wes, Cody, and Stony give dating advice with strong opinions, questionable metaphors, and a sincere desire to help you stop sabotaging yourself.The fellas break down "radio silence" before a first date, why modern dating feel scriptless, why high-bandwidth communication beats endless texting, and the simple confirmation move that keeps you from getting ghosted.When a guy asks a woman her weight and calls her "hefty," where's the line between honesty, tact, and being an idiot? Plus: why first impressions can be wildly misleading, the case for giving things a little more runway, and Stony's coin-flip experiment.Finally, the conversation widens out to the big stuff: money, housing, status, height, and why dating feels harder than it used to. The guys argue for playing Moneyball(s) with your love life  — stop competing where you can't win, lean in to your unique "market alpha," and go where real connection actually happens.Prepare to get handsome.Click here to view the episode transcript.
