Welcome to the “Date Smarter. Sexier.” Podcast
Coming Soon to Season Six of the Date Smarter. Sexier. Podcast – also known as the season of Cocks and Cocktails.
This season, we’re turning the spotlight on men—how to date them, understand them, and (let’s be honest) survive them. Cocks and Cocktails isn’t just a cheeky name—it’s our theme for diving deep into the masculine mindset while sipping something strong (whiskey, obviously). It’s bold, playful, and packed with truth. We’re getting real about what it’s like to date men in today’s world and how to communicate with them without losing your cool—or your standards.
I’m your host, Andrea LaRosa, and this season I’m mixing things up. You’ll still hear solo episodes with bite-sized insights straight from the expert (that’s me), but you’ll also meet an incredible lineup of guest cohosts—women who are currently in the dating trenches—and expert guests who bring the science, the psychology, and the sass to the table.
We’ll cover everything from decoding male communication styles and commitment fears to those “is it me or is he just emotionally unavailable?” moments. Expect hot takes, hilarious confessions, and practical tools to help you stop settling, start thriving, and date smarter.
So pour yourself a glass of something delicious, hit play, and join the conversation. This is Date Smarter Sexier—where dating men finally starts to make a little more sense.
