We convinced Mark Manson (life guru/bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck) to sit down and answer the question "Is love f*cked?" (Spoiler alert: It doesn't have to be.) We discuss the current hellscape of dating and how both men and women should navigate it, expressing your feelings and getting out the gray area, and whether love is enough to sustain a relationship. We also have him "Mansplain" some hot topics like when to sleep with someone and the reason men ghost then resurface. Also on the agenda: Ashley's new fantasy and Rayna's apartment drama. Enjoy!
