How to Tell if Someone Will Be a Good Long-Term Partner (and find them)

What if everything we believe about finding love is designed to keep us searching instead of finding?

This episode debunks some of the worst common advice and showcases what's genuinely useful.

It might start with you. The people most focused on finding the perfect partner often remain alone, while those focused on becoming the right partner tend to attract extraordinary relationships.

Shift from scarcity-based dating to abundance-based connection:

Understand "optimal search theory"

Focus on shared vision for the future rather than identical current interests

Recognise that generosity and a growth mindset matter more than initial chemistry

If you find someone, will you recognise them when you do?
