How does Flora Dunn's approach to relationship standards challenge conventional dating norms?

Flora Dunn’s approach pushes people, especially women, to raise their standards early and clearly, instead of “being chill” and hoping respect follows later.

Flora challenges norms like:

1. First dates should be casual and low-effort
2. You shouldn’t “ask for too much” at the start
3. It is normal to overlook red flags if there’s chemistry or attraction

By encouraging fine dining first dates and smart, direct questions (instead of just vibes), Flora reframes dating as intentional selection, not passive acceptance. That shift makes respect, consistency, and effort the baseline, not the bonus.

Which dating “rule” or norm are you personally struggling with the most right now?
