We Learned How To Have Sex, But Forgot How To Love
After several years of liberal brainwashing and complete Europeanisation, I developed a very specific strategy for dating and dealing with men. I never sleep with a guy on the first date if I genuinely like him. But I can very easily “go over to check out his architecture book collection” with a guy who didn’t emotionally move me at all, but who seems hot, cute, and not particularly intelligent. My personal experience shows that if you sleep with someone actually worthy after


I Went Celibate Because Modern Men Exhausted Me
Where do I even begin? I have always strived to be an intentional and integral woman. For the ten years prior to my celibacy, I moved through long-term relationships with care, presence, and a genuine belief that what I was building with someone mattered. That it was ours. That it wasn't something to be careless with. For a long time, I held onto that belief, and I still do. But if I'm honest, I stayed even when I knew I should have left. I began to quietly notice something s


Where Have All the Good Guys Gone? Ben Might Have an Answer, or be the Answer…
Ben has built an audience around dating, around French charm, humour, and the ongoing joke of “looking for a wife.” It’s playful, relatable, easy to consume. But behind the humour is something much more nuanced, cuz the moment your identity becomes visible at scale, it stops belonging only to you. It becomes something people interpret, project onto, and form opinions about before they’ve even met you. And somewhere in that shift, a question starts to form: What happens when b


Polina Stogni Isn’t Interested in Looking “Perfect”
Polina Stogni’s world is one built on contradiction: industrial Russia and soft Portuguese sunsets, dark humour and emotional honesty, roughness and beauty. Born in the small industrial city of Pervouralsk and now based in Lisbon, her creative identity has been shaped by movement, memory, and reinvention. Through fashion, art, music, and her evolving project Stogni Studio, Polina explores identity in a way that feels deeply personal yet culturally reflective. In this conversa


Inside Euphoria, A Weekly Breakdown by Taylor Champlin: Episode 6
I enjoyed the episode beginning with an introduction to Alamo’s backstory. It was reminiscent of the first season of Euphoria, when each character had a dedicated episode explaining their origins and traumas. It’s clear that Alamo’s childhood led him to value money above all else. He watched his mother leave a good man who adored both her and Alamo after his house was robbed. She didn’t even give him a chance to fix the situation, being even colder than we’ve seen Alamo be wh


The Most Dangerous Woman Is the One Who Needs Nobody
There comes a point in a woman’s life where she has to decide what deserves her energy, and sadly enough in a world designed to constantly distract us; with social media, comparison, validation, gossip, relationships, and outside opinions, choosing yourself becomes a form of superpower. As a woman, I strongly believe the only things that should truly consume your mind are the questions that lead you closer to your highest self: How do I make more money? How do I become health


You’re Not Dressing For You, But Dressing To Be Perceived
When it comes to fashion, many people proudly express that they dress for themselves, not for the public eye or the validation of others. But is that really true? When living in a city, it is almost impossible not to notice the fashionably dressed. People take clear pride in curating outfits that enhance their personality and public persona. A “good” city outfit typically includes thoughtful details: statement jewelry, quality shoes, impeccable grooming, makeup, and at least


We Made Caring About People Cringe
How do we bring back caring in a generation where caring the least means you’ve won? Ethan Hawke recently said this on the 2026 Oscar red carpet when he was asked about love. He continued furthering that notion by saying, “The sun doesn't care whether the grass appreciates its rays, right? It just keeps on shining.” Look, dating has been bleak in Gen Z culture. Sometimes it seemingly feels like there is no end in sight, and a new plethora of words to describe the ways people


Pretty People Just Bore Me, Disciplined People Don’t
Discipline has become one of the rarest forms of beauty in modern life; not beauty in the superficial sense, not perfect features, expensive clothes, or curated aesthetics, but the kind of beauty that reveals character. The kind that quietly says, “I respect myself enough to stay committed, even when it’s difficult.” In a world driven by instant gratification, distraction, and convenience, discipline stands out because it is increasingly uncommon, and because it is uncommon,
