In this episode of The 30 Plus Podcast, the hosts Nneka X, KimKim, Cookie, and Fly dive deep into the intriguing topic of "spinning the block" and how it looks after turning 30. As the dating landscape evolves and becomes more complex, they explore the question of whether it's worth trying to rekindle past relationships and whether the familiarity of the "devil you know" is better than venturing into the unknown.
The hosts engage in a candid and thought-provoking discussion, delving into the following key points:
The Dating Pool After 30: They reflect on the challenges and opportunities presented by the dating pool for individuals over 30. How has it changed, and what factors should be considered when navigating it?

The Devil You Know vs. the Devil You Don't: The age-old debate of familiarity versus the unknown is examined. Is it safer to stick with what's familiar, even if it has its flaws, or is the allure of something new worth the risk?
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder: The hosts discuss the age-old adage and whether time apart truly makes the heart grow fonder. How does distance impact one's perception of a person or relationship?
Throughout the episode, personal anecdotes, expert opinions, and lively banter keep the conversation engaging and relatable for their 30-plus audience. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and consider the complexities of navigating the dating world as they age.
