"Family values"

The Ten Thousand Things

Our parent's values / Crying / Jaded dating profiles

1 - How did our parents values shape our own?

Ali shares how she's not only grown into her parents' values. Sam explores the dichotomy of how his parents created a culture of questioning in a Hare Krishna environment and Joe shares how his parents politics influenced their values. We also ask whether boomers will ever be able to see how good they had it.

2 - Is crying for losers?

Ali shares how her views on crying have changed and how she's come to embrace it. Sam details some anecdotes of how women don't like crying and how that impacts men feeling comfortable expressing emotions. Joe explains why he would like to be able to tap into the cathartic experience of crying. We also discuss how our own attitudes towards crying have shaped our responses to seeing other people cry.

3 - Jaded dating profiles

We delve into jaded dating profiles, should we be using the space to express our deal breakers, or if you get to that point, should you just take a break?
