When <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nnnava/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nava Kavelin</a> (host of <a href="https://lemonadamedia.com/show/podcrushed/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcrushed</a>) lost weight at 16, the shift in how the world treated her was immediate and jarring. She went from being invisible to having 10 boys aggressively pursuing her. She joins Nicole to unpack the complicated resentment of suddenly becoming "visible" to people who previously looked right through you.They get into why reciprocity is the bare minimum for a good relationship, the misery of dating someone long-term who won't commit, and how soap operas like Passions warped their brains into thinking it’s okay to chase people who don't like you. Nava also shares the time she downplayed her Baha'i faith for a Southern Baptist boy who turned out to only be interested in converting her.Plus, the shocking research she uncovered at the UN about how media impacts girls of color - they are sexualized as young as 3 years old, and unchecked access to porn is normalizing violence for teenagers.Meanwhile, Nicole attempts to connect with the youths, and recounts the wild, slightly racist routine she saw at Criss Angel's Las Vegas show.Heads up: This episode contains spoilers to Netflix's You.Check out Nava's new book, Crushmore at <a href="http://simonandschuster.com/books/Crushmore/Penn-Badgley/9781668077993" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">simonandschuster.com/books/Crushmore/Penn-Badgley/9781668077993</a>Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsor:<a href="http://squarespace.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Squarespace</a>: Head to <a href="http://squarespace.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">squarespace.com/DATEME</a> to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code DATEME.Follow:All Links:&nbsp;<a href="https://linktr.ee/whywontyoudateme" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linktr.ee/whywontyoudateme</a>Tour Dates:&nbsp;<a href="http://linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>TikTok:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@whywontyoudatemepod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@whywontyoudatemepod</a>&nbsp;Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolebyer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>X:&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/nicolebyer?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>Nicole's book, #VERYFAT #VERYBRAVE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524850746" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">indiebound.org/book/9781524850746</a>This is a&nbsp;<a href="https://headgum.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Headgum</a>&nbsp;podcast.
