Dating has changed more in a decade than in the century before it. Apps, social media and shifting expectations have left many men and women unsure what the other wants. London Real has asked relationship coaches, therapists, matchmakers and men’s leaders for straight answers. These conversations cover attraction, confidence, communication, infidelity and the debate over modern masculinity. The guests do not always agree, which is what makes them worth hearing. Every full interview is free to watch.
From relationship coach Sadia Khan and psychotherapist Esther Perel to ManTalks founder Connor Beaton, Order of Man founder Ryan Michler, hypnotherapist Paul McKenna, strength coach Elliott Hulse and dating coach Hayley Quinn: attraction, relationships and the changing role of men.
Sadia Khan, a psychology educator turned relationship coach, explains what she believes women want and why men often get it wrong. In her second episode she argues that “nice guys” struggle because they lack confidence and boundaries, and she answers viewers’ questions in a live Q&A. Hayley Quinn, once a shy teenager, coaches men and women to understand themselves as well as their partners. Haley Hill shares what she learned running a London matchmaking agency, and John P Morgan makes the case for natural attraction over pick-up tactics. Dan Bilzerian sets out his own philosophy on life, women and money.
Connor Beaton, founder of ManTalks, argues that “man-shaming” needs to stop. In his return to London Real he explains how men can overcome shame, find purpose and lead with strength and emotional honesty. Ryan Michler, a combat veteran and founder of Order of Man, talks about toxic masculinity and the rates of suicide and depression among young men. Elliott Hulse, a strongman and strength coach, explains his idea of the alpha male. Joule Sullivan, an ex-soldier turned tailor, says men must be ready for anything, while Zuby links masculinity to discipline and independent thinking.
Esther Perel, the psychotherapist known for her work on desire and infidelity, explains how couples can bring vitality back into long relationships. Paul McKenna, the hypnotherapist and best-selling author, shares the seven things he says make or break a relationship and why communication matters most. Emma Sayle, founder of Killing Kittens, describes building a business around women-led adult events and sexual wellness. Taken together, these guests offer very different answers. Some, like Sadia Khan, tell men to be more assertive. Others, like Connor Beaton and Esther Perel, put more weight on honesty and emotional connection.
