January Is Fake Real Life (Syllabus Week)

Women Are Never Single ft. Pearl Davis

Pearl Davis and I talk hypergamy, monkey branching, cheating, backup guys, and why most men are competing in a dating market they don’t understand. Are women ever really single? Or are men just rotating in and out of the same attention economy? Is this the uncomfortable reality of dating in 2026??

Are Dating Apps Dead? ft. Mads Campbell

Everyone says women have it easy on dating apps. So Murray Hill Guy decided to stop arguing and test it himself ... by creating a female Hinge profile using Mads Campbell’s photos. Within one hour, the account had more likes than Murray has received in his entire life combined. In this episode, Murray and Mads break down what actually happened during the experiment, what the flood of matches revealed about modern dating, and why dating apps feel broken for everyone involved. They talk overwhelming choice, bad openers, NYC dating culture, confidence, and what men should actually take away from all of this.... without pretending the apps aren’t cooked. The study continues.

Drinks vs. Dinner, Confidence or Getting Played on First Dates? (Westside LA Guy vs. Cole Jaczko)

A viral tweet claimed it’s a huge red flag if a girl insists on dinner for a first date. One side says drinks only, keep it low investment, filter fast, avoid free meals. The other says that mindset is fear-based, the guys who do better just take her to dinner. This episode is not really about dinner. It’s about knowing when investing is confidence and when you’re just getting played. Murray Hill Guy sits down with Westside LA Guy (drinks-first) and Cole Jaczko (dinner-first) to break down first date strategy, dating apps vs real life, city differences, investment timing, and how guys quietly sabotage good connections. By the end of the episode, you’ll have a simple rule you can actually use the next time a girl suggests dinner.

January Is Fake Real Life (Syllabus Week)

January isn’t real life. It’s gym-in-January energy applied to your whole personality. Dating feels easier. Discipline feels natural. Everyone thinks they’re changing. Then February hits, and people disappear. This episode breaks down why January creates fake momentum in fitness, dating, and discipline, why February exposes who actually built habits, and how to use that short January window instead of wasting it. Motivation is borrowed. Timing matters more than intention. And fake momentum still counts, if you move early.
