Olha shares her unique insights on how traditional values and contemporary social dynamics shape love and courtship in regions from Ukraine to the United States. From discussing the cultural norm of receiving flowers in Ukraine—which starkly contrasts the American perspective—to the distinct grooming and fashion preferences influenced by lifestyle and infrastructure, Olya offers a revealing look at global dating traditions. She reflects on her experience with social circles and social media in meeting partners, as well as the often misunderstood perception of femininity in both Eastern and Western cultures. Join us as we explore Olha's journey of learning English, her evolving approach to seeking validation, and the sometimes daunting task of navigating approaches and high-status dating. Robbie and Olha dive deep into the impact of feminism, the challenges of online dating, and the striking differences in dating dynamics from Los Angeles to Kyiv.
