In this episode of "Don't Count Your Calories," the hosts, Edison and Lex Rise, discuss the concept of dating down, where individuals date someone less attractive in the hope of a better relationship. They explore how this approach can backfire and lead to self-esteem issues. The hosts touch on the challenges of modern dating, including the emphasis on materialistic values, and offer advice on being genuine and focusing on personal growth and trajectory rather than just financial status in the dating world.
