There are some common experiences in the current world of dating that just about every single person has encountered: dating apps, navigating dating multiple people at once, getting dumped, being catfished, etc. All of this and more are routinely discussed on the popular "Dating Talk" that is hosted on the "whatever" podcast every Sunday and Tuesday on YouTube. Brian Atlas hosts a roundtable discussion with various young women (and sometimes men) about what it's like to be single in today's modern world. The episodes are usually a few hours long, and many of the women who appear on the show are young and have no interest whatsoever in getting married and settling down. In fact, you'll often see women who work in strip clubs or openly search for sugar daddies to bankroll their life.
