She discussed her personal journey of self-discovery and how it led to the creation of the app. Growing up in a society that put a lot of pressure on traditional relationships, Oyku struggled to find her place in the dating world. After leaving a monogamous relationship, she explored her bisexuality and began to question the societal expectations placed on relationships. This led her to discover alternatives to traditional monogamy and eventually create Beyond, a dating app that focuses on self-discovery and autonomy in dating.

Oyku emphasized the importance of open communication and mutual respect in any type of partnership, whether it be monogamous or ethically non-monogamous. She also spoke about the struggles of navigating her sexuality in a culture that often stigmatizes anything that deviates from the norm. Despite these challenges, Oyku has found liberation in owning her sexuality and identity, and hopes to provide a safe space for others to do the same through the app.

Overall, Oyku's journey serves as a reminder that societal expectations should never hold us back from exploring our true selves and finding fulfilling relationships.

She talked about how dating isn't a priority in LA, where people often go for fame and fortune. As a result, people don't think about who they want to be with long-term. This results in short-term relationships and casual flings, but nothing more.

Jocelyn also shared her thoughts on finding people to date in LA. She suggested that you should just live your life as you normally would and that you would find someone along the way. For example, if you're a Christian girl, you can go to church, coffee shops, or out to dinner. You could even go to clubs if that's your thing. However, she warns that you should avoid certain clubs and be cautious of people who put on a show to make you believe they are important when they really aren't.

When asked about her ideal relationship, Jocelyn said that she wants a fairytale love story. She wants love at first sight and the perfect person who has it all together to come and sweep her off her feet. However, she acknowledges that this isn't always possible, and that there are a lot of frogs out there.

In terms of red flags to watch out for, Jocelyn suggests that you avoid people who are too unavailable or have multiple phones. She also shared a funny story about the craziest date she's ever been on, where the guy begged her to pull up Kim Kardashian's sex tape on a train during their first date.

Overall, Jocelyn's insights provide an interesting perspective on dating as a good Christian girl in LA. While it may not be easy, it's important to be confident and secure in yourself and to keep an open mind when it comes to finding love.

For example, she recounted a story about a man who asked her to send him pictures of her ears so that he could show them to a spiritual guru for a reading. Mindie's story highlights the importance of being cautious and aware of red flags when dating. Another interesting topic discussed in the interview is the role of therapy in relationships. Mindie noted that many men are hesitant to seek therapy because of cultural and societal stigmas around mental health. However, she emphasized the importance of therapy in helping men grow and improve their relationships. Overall, the interview provides valuable insights into the minds of men, and highlights the importance of being aware of our own needs and preferences when dating. By being open and honest with ourselves and our partners, we can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

James believes that in today's world, everyone is dating, and it's almost fringe to be in a committed relationship. He feels that people are constantly half-in, half-out because of the limitless options available. James recommends that people turn inward to really know themselves and what they do or don't like.
