#74: Why You Attract Emotionally Unavailable Men
Episode description
Ever feel like you're on date #200, with the same guy?
In this episode, Hilary breaks down emotional unavailability for what it actually is: a lack of real intimacy. If you're attracting men who can't go deep, there's a reason. And it may have more to do with you than you think.
For high-functioning women especially, this is a sneaky blind spot. You might be warm, flirty, and fun—but still totally guarded. You might talk about your emotions, but not feel them in real time. And that performative intimacy? It’s what keeps real connection out of reach.
Episode Highlights:
- Why emotional unavailability isn’t just a “man” problem
- The two biggest reasons people avoid true intimacy
- The subtle difference between being expressive and actually being emotionally available
- How to finally break the pattern by turning inward
