S25: Moving Beyond Transactional Dating | E1: You Make My Ego Feel Good

In season 25 guest Anna-Christina Jackson [https://relationshipfitness.com/author/ajackson/] shares her insights discussing the foundational relationship topic: Moving Beyond Transactional Dating. In this first episode of the season, Vince Vasquez and UK psychotherapist Anna Jackson tackle the age-old attraction game—men go for looks, women go for wealth—and why it’s a dead-end for long-term love. They break down how to move past the “ego boost” phase and focus on compatibility and shared goals, because let's face it, looks fade, and wallets can shrink! For a relationship that lasts, it’s time to think beyond the surface. In this season, we'll discuss how to move beyond superficial dating by understanding what truly makes a relationship work—spoiler alert, it's not just about looks or money. Vince Vasquez and Anna Jackson dive into everything from asking the tough questions to embracing self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and even thinking about where dating might be headed in the next decade.
