Welcome back to another Draft Pick segment of The Gap and The Grind! 🎙️ This week, we are throwing out the rulebook on the "Clean Girl" aesthetic. We’ve seen the shift on socials, and we are ready to embrace the chaos of the "Expressive" aesthetic (or the "Espresso" aesthetic, if you want to stay awake ☕). In this episode, we break down: The Male Wardrobe Shift: Why men in quarter-zips are suddenly looking 10x more attractive than the Nike Tech bros. (Sorry, not sorry!). The Grey Sweatpants Theory: Does it actually make a man more attractive, or are we all just hallucinating? Makeup Wars: The irony of spending an hour doing "clean" makeup vs. just owning the full-beat expressive look. Are you Team Clean or Team Expressive? Let us know in the comments!

Welcome back to The Gap and the Grind! This week, we are back to discuss why the internet’s version of "Self-Love" might actually be making us feel worse. Is an aesthetic morning routine actually healing you, or is it just another standard to fail at? Denise argues that Self-Respect might be a better goal than Self-Love, while Precious defends the necessity of loving yourself first. Culture Check! 🚩 The modern dating scene. Why does dating in 2025 feel like a corporate merger? We talk about: Relationship "KPIs" (Key Performance Indicators). The "3 Dates, 3 Weeks, 3 Months" Probation Period. Why everyone treats dating like Risk Management. And... whatever "Shaggy Shaggy" means. 😂 If you’re watching on YouTube, don’t forget to subscribe, like, and comment!
