About the Show
Dated & Informed is a modern field study on dating, relationships, and human behavior. Two women breaking down the patterns, contradictions, and psychology behind how people connect — with real experiences, behavioral research, and zero easy answers.
Each episode pulls from peer-reviewed studies, personal stories, and cultural trends to explore what's actually happening in modern relationships — not just what people say is happening. From attachment theory to dating apps, mixed signals to commitment issues.
This isn't advice. It's observation, conversation, and pattern recognition in real time.
Watch on YouTube →Peer-reviewed studies explained in plain language — examined for limits, not just cited.
Personal experiences told with honesty and dark humor. The science grounded in moments they've actually lived.
No easy answers. One host presents, the other plays skeptic. What you do with it is yours.
