In this episode of Swipe Struggle Survive, we take a sledgehammer to one of the biggest love myths out there — the idea of “The One.” You know the story: your perfect partner is out there somewhere, written in the stars, fighting through forests of thorns or arriving on a white horse to sweep you off your feet. Cute in Disney. A nightmare in real life.Host Mary Margaret shares why believing in The One actually makes dating harder, not easier. Blame Disney, romcoms, love songs, and society's obsession with fairytales — they’ve all trained us to believe that true love arrives fully formed, effortless, and perfect. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.Instead, this episode dives into:Why the soulmate myth makes dating stressfulThe real qualities that actually predict long-term love (hint: they’re not “good hair” or salsa skills)How myths like eternal passion, jealousy-as-love, and perfect compatibility set us up to failThe magic of the “Goggle Effect” — how seeing someone’s character can completely change how you see themWhy realistic expectations and an open mind are your best dating toolsWe’re breaking down the fantasy and building up the reality — love grows through effort, kindness, shared values, and yes, sometimes it sneaks up on you when you least expect it (and when they least meet your so-called “type”).Forget the fairytales. Lose the perfect partner checklist. And don’t worry — there’s a whole world of good-enough people out there, and that’s actually great news.
