Grownkid is the swag gap ruining your relationship?this episode we talk about what some might consider the biggest dealbreaker: the swag gap. we found that this dealbreaker is not as surface level as it seems, and just how much we can overthink ourselves out of intimacy. from the unspoken rules of modern dating that make communication harder than it needs to be like swag gaps, to performing nonchalance, to holding back parts of yourself to seem more desirable, showing up as yourself can feel risky. but after reading Hinge's D.A.T.E Report, we found we're all just trying to be loved for who we...

Grownkid do you have taste or just collecting aesthetics?taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it’s something you’re born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone’s taste doesn't feel like their own. foll...
