## Resource

Summary In this conversation, Dominic Michael explores the evolving dynamics of dating, emphasizing how entitlement has shifted the focus from genuine connection to transactional relationships. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding entitlement, the differences between genuine interest and transactional dating, and the critical role of consistency and communication in fostering intimacy. Dominic challenges both men and women to reflect on their expectations and behaviors in dating, advocating for a more authentic approach to relationships. Takeaways Dating got harder because entitlement became normalized. Entitlement is expectation without emotional earning. Generosity with an agenda is still manipulation. Men feel used financially; women feel disposable. Entitlement is armor that blocks intimacy. Consistency almost always starts failing early. Confusion is a telltale sign of transactional dating. Healthy love often feels boring to unhealed people. The right person won't feel like a transaction. Intimacy requires a shift away from entitlement.
