  • Men, Emotions, and Modern Dating (with Luardo)
    Aug 19 2025

    Lulu is joined by Luardo, host of 'Berlin & Elsewhere' (formerly Guten Tag Podcast) and Guten Tag Berlin (in Spanish).

    The conversation delves into various aspects of men's experiences and societal expectations in dating.

    Luardo discusses the pressure on men to exhibit traditional masculine traits like strength, assertiveness, and control, which can often lead to internal conflicts and a lack of authenticity.

    Lulu and Luardo also discuss how societal norms often discourage men from expressing emotions, leading to issues like addiction or emotional suppression.

    Luardo mentions the importance of finding role models who embody both strength and emotional openness, suggesting that men can be both strong and emotionally available.

    This discussion emphasizes the need for a shift in societal expectations, encouraging men to embrace vulnerability and emotional expression as strengths rather than weaknesses.
