This week on So Shameless, Tahoe welcomes Marcus, author of How to Be a Professional Side Dude, and Chrys for an unfiltered conversation about dating, relationships, commitment, sexual expectations, and the complicated dynamics between successful men and women.
Tahoe kicks things off by asking Marcus a question everybody wants answered: Can a man who built his reputation as a professional side dude actually settle down and be faithful? Marcus opens up about his dating history, whether he believes his past behavior with women has brought him bad karma, and why he once made a woman wait THREE YEARS before introducing her to his children. Was he protecting his kids or wasting her time?
The conversation heats up when Marcus reveals that he starts discussing sex as early as the second date. Is that too soon? Tahoe and Chrys debate when men should introduce sexual expectations while dating and whether bringing up sex early changes how women view a man’s intentions.
The crew also react to Gilbert Arenas’ controversial response when his wife asks how he would protect her if three women tried to jump her. Plus, is it disrespectful for your roommate’s boyfriend to spend every weekend at your apartment?
Then things get personal as the cast asks whether we secretly judge our friends for their sexual choices, whether having separate hobbies is the key to a healthy relationship, and why some people struggle to maintain their individuality once they’re in love.
Finally, we tackle one of the biggest debates in modern dating: Why do women with less financial success sometimes end up with wealthy, successful men, while highly educated, financially independent women struggle to find lasting relationships? Is it about money, expectations, compatibility, or something deeper?
It’s another episode full of uncomfortable questions, different perspectives, and the conversations you’ve come to expect from So Shameless.
Topics: Modern dating, relationship advice, commitment issues, dating successful women, financial independence, sexual compatibility, relationship boundaries, parenting and dating, and gender roles. Featuring: Tahoe, Marcus & Chrys
