About this listen

In this week’s episode of curveball, Kayleigh and Soph dive deep into The Matching/ Dating Hypothesis , the idea that we’re drawn to people who are “on our level” in looks, confidence, and social status.


But are we still living by those unspoken “leagues,” or are we rewriting the rules of attraction? The girls unpack how self-worth, confidence, and society’s obsession with aesthetics shape who we think we deserve — and whether true connection comes down to appearance or aligned energy.


Timestamps:

00:01 — The social conditioning of attraction

04:28 — The matching hypothesis and dating within social standing

09:00 — Why self-work is key in relationship dynamics

13:58 — Unpacking societal pressures on women’s body image


💭 Tune in for the laughs, the oversharing, and the kind of deep chats only Curveball do.
