The Epidemic of the Partially Single Man

Are men actually single anymore — or just emotionally on standby? In this episode of Love, Sex, LA: Unfiltered, I break down The Epidemic of the Partially Single Man — the modern dating phenomenon where men claim to be single while still emotionally tethered to their exes. From lingering attachments and “healing eras” to situationships that never fully move forward, we unpack why so many men are half in, half out — and why women keep getting caught in the middle. This episode is about recognizing the red flags, understanding emotional unavailability, and knowing when to walk away instead of waiting to be chosen. If you’ve ever felt like someone couldn’t fully show up for you, this conversation is for you. ✨ You deserve to be the person they never want a distraction from. In this episode, we cover: What it really means to be a partially single man Emotional unavailability and unresolved exes Situationships vs. real commitment Why familiarity often beats growth in modern dating How to stop being someone’s distraction and start choosing yourself
