Why Good People Lose in Modern Dating

Why do so many people stay stuck in toxic relationships—even when they know they’re being mistreated? In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth about dating psychology, alternatives, self-worth, and modern relationships that most therapy conversations avoid.

This discussion challenges mainstream ideas around body positivity, self-belief, and unconditional acceptance. We explore how being overweight, lacking confidence, and losing perceived alternatives can trap people in abusive or unfulfilling relationships—not because they’re weak, but because they believe they have no better options.

We dive into how attraction, leverage, and alternatives actually shape long-term relationships, why some couples last despite dysfunction, and why others thrive when both partners genuinely believe they’re getting a great deal. The conversation also covers modern dating culture, including Dubai’s extreme dating economy, power dynamics, entitlement, escort culture, and why good men and women often struggle the most in today’s dating market.

This episode is not about shaming—it’s about radical accountability, clarity, and reclaiming control over your dating life, health, and relationship standards. If you’ve ever wondered why confidence changes everything, why some people always seem to have options, or why modern dating feels broken, this conversation will challenge how you see relationships forever.
