In this bonus episode of The BASIC Show, host Viktorija Pashuta sits down with her sister Anna Pashuta for a brutally honest, funny, and very real conversation about modern dating, feminine vs. masculine roles, and why so many high-achieving women are struggling to connect in today’s swipe culture.
They unpack:
- 💗 Why successful, independent women sometimes lose their softness — and how to reconnect with feminine energy without “shrinking”
- 🧠 The real reason men say dating is “expensive”… and why effort matters more than price
- 👀 Eye contact, playfulness, and why happy women are magnetic
- ☕ Why endless texting and coffee dates aren’t working — and how to actually get to real connection
- 👫 The 4 stages of real relationships: attraction → mutual attraction → commitment → compatibility
- 📵 Dating apps vs real life: how to meet people again… in person
- 🙋♂️ A PSA to men: approach women more, not to seduce — but to bring good energy back into real-life socializing
This episode is for women who want to stay feminine and ambitious, and for men who want to understand what actually makes women feel safe, open, and playful.
