This week I talk to Victoria, a Chinese born creator who lives in the US. We dive into the social pressures of growing up in China, how s*x is taught and talked about, what makes you a marriageable girl in China and the social clock of Chinese guys and girls.
Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.
