The Biggest Dating Red Flag Isn't What You Think

from Girls Can Tell Podcast · host Trent Erikson

Politics has become one of the biggest filters in modern dating—but I don't think politics is actually the real issue. Over the last year, I've noticed something changing on dating apps. People aren't just telling you what they believe anymore. They're telling you who they refuse to date before you even say hello. So when did politics stop being something we discussed and start becoming part of our identity? In this episode, I look at how curiosity, open-mindedness, echo chambers, and social media have changed the way we approach relationships. This isn't about picking a political side. It's about asking a much bigger question: What happens to dating when we've already decided the other side has nothing worth hearing? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Have you noticed the same thing on dating apps?
