Love Strategies

Love Strategies pairs professional dating coach Adam LoDolce with relationship scientist Dr. Gary Lewandowski Jr. for a podcast that tries to bridge the gap between what research says about love and what actually works on a Tuesday night when you are wondering if you should text back. The co-hosted format works well -- LoDolce brings the coaching perspective and real-world dating scenarios, while Lewandowski grounds things in peer-reviewed studies and academic frameworks. Episodes are tight, running 7 to 39 minutes with most landing around 30 minutes, and they drop weekly. The show has 280 episodes, a 4.7-star rating, and about 660 reviews. Topics are specific and practical: how to handle someone who pushes for physical intimacy too early, identifying compatibility red flags, understanding why you keep choosing the same type of partner. The show is aimed primarily at women looking to attract committed partners, and the language reflects that focus. Some reviewers have raised eyebrows at occasional episode recycling and questioned whether anecdotal evidence gets too much weight relative to the research credentials involved. But the dual-host dynamic keeps things lively, and the episode length means you can actually finish one without setting aside an hour. For listeners who want dating advice that at least tries to cite its sources, this is a solid pick.
