Love Sex LA: Unfiltered

Dating in LA is a stage — and Cameron Carr and I are here to judge the auditions. We break down the city’s performative dating culture (image, access, “brand-safe” chemistry) and answer the only question that matters: do you make him a Lover, or Exile him? From soft-launch purgatory and “audition energy” to consistency vs. potential, we spell out clear walk-away cues and green-flag keeps. Swiftie...

Little Miss Fix It reports for duty. This week I unpack why the black cat boyfriend is suddenly everyone’s type, why your love life is not a home renovation project, and what my DJ saga taught me about fixing men who don’t want to be fixed.

They talk dating games, emotional availability, Mr. Big vs. reality, and Niko's personal rule for wh...

We’re kicking off our new series by unpacking the phrase that launched a thousand spirals: “If he wanted to, he would.” But is it gospel…or just glorified gaslighting? From Coldplay cheating scandals to the fall of Jeremiah Fisher (sorry, Team Nice Guy), we’re breaking down what real effort looks like—and why charm without consistency just doesn’t cut it. Plus, I went on a first date. Yes, a real...

Rachel Friedman of Unwell's radio show, Dialed In, breaks down the modern dating game—and nothing’s off-limits.

This week on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered, Alexandria sits down with Emma Paige from the Too Much Podcast to unpack why being ‘a lot’ is actually your biggest flex.
