I am back and so sorry for the delay, but let's get into it. Is it always bad to be in a situationship? What even really is a situationship? If it doesn't become a relationship quickly, will it never be one? I ask these as general Q's, but also in relation to what I got going on in my personal life. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!Follow on IG: @vsinglepod and subscribe to my substack: alisonstevenson.substack.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Okay, this one ended up being a catch up but in catching up I kind of repeat sentiments I've shared before but in a NEW way but I also plead for actionable steps if you got them!!

Hi hi! I have returned. Apologies for the unexpected long break. The good news is, I went on a lot of dates and have something to talk about...Why is no one fun to hang out with? Something is going on. Whether it be with the men, with me, or BOTH. Or a secret fourth thing? This ep dives into it, so tune in before you jump to any conclusions. I haven't even done that.

Anhedonia is a symptom characterized by a diminished ability or inability to experience pleasure or joy in previously enjoyable activities...hmm...sound familiar much? I dive into this concept in relation to dating and beg you to help us all figure how to break free from feeling this way. This conversation will be continued in the next ep.

I'm back with a new ep, reading your messages aloud and responding to them. Plus, I answer two questions: how to be a slut, and how to embrace weight gain. Keep writing me and asking q's!

Hello! I'm back with a long episode that's really like two eps in one, but I guess that's good since I don't really put these out weekly. The first half is a mix of life updates and expressing my sheer confusion about what the hell is going on with my dating life. Then I go into the rest of the conversation I started a few episodes back about casual sex and what that might truly look like for women if we decenter men from it. Listen and enjoy! I hope.

I'm back! Some of you requested I talk about my vacation. Specifically, did I meet anyone?! What are the Norway singles like?? Well, I got some insight. This episode is dedicated to discussing the trip, the effect it has had on me since coming home, and how I'm going to navigate dating moving forward. I think. Have a listen and hope you enjoy!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hello hello! Back with a new ep and this time it's a mix of a few things. I answer a question from a listener about an ex watching his Instagram story. Then, I begin a conversation about the heavy and loaded topic of casual sex and what does that look like when we decenter men from the equation?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Most of this episode is dedicated to talking about decentering men: a practice (and/or lifestyle) that calls for women (not exclusively women though) to center themselves and their needs and deprioritize catering to patriarchal demands.

I'm back!! March was a wild month, but very excited to get things going again.

This episode is a dive into ~manifestation~ and how it can relate to the previous episodes about "quitting" dating. Reframing the narrative! Plus, a few quick updates and more. Send me your messages and questions!! @vsinglepod on IG.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Here's the rest of the conversation! Diving into the topic of "quitting" dating -- what that means, and why it's not as bleak as it sounds. Maybe. Listen to part one if you haven't yet, then immediately get into this!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I gabbed too much on this one. It's a loaded topic!! So I've made it into two parts. Referencing an August 2024 article from Atlantic "The People Who Quit Dating" I dive into what this means and my personal relation to it. Next part will be posted in a couple of days.

Back for a more productive 2025! Expect weekly episodes moving forward and if not, still a lot more frequent!!! For this week's episode, I dive into the movie Babygirl and how much it bugged me! But this is less about the movie itself and actually a wider conversation about how women are almost always portrayed as sexually submissive in mainstream erotic media.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lots to catch up on! I give some personal life updates, then get into a message I recieved that has more to do with the previous episode about fatness in dating, and THEN get into the rise of the 4B Movement. Listen now!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This was a tough one to talk through because trust me, I don't want to sound negative about my body at all, but I tried to tackle the loaded topic of fatness and dating and the many complications and mixed signals that arise from being a fat woman on the dating scene. There will probably be a part two to this!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sharing some insight from a used book I found in an occult book store in the valley. Relationship Strategies: The E&P Attraction by John G. Kappas, PhD. This book highlights what Kappas refers to as "emotional sexual personality types" and "physical sexual personality types" and how we are attracted to the personality types opposite us. There's a lot, and you'll hear me saying freqiently, "Interesting". However, this book is not officially endorsed by me! It is...interesting...though.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
