How does Flora Dunn's method for valuing oneself in relationships outperform traditional dating advice?

Flora Dunn’s approach outperforms a lot of traditional dating advice because it shifts you from “Am I good enough for them?” to “Is this relationship aligned with my worth, standards, and goals?”

Traditional advice often:

1. Overemphasizes “experience” and number of relationships
2. Frames you as needing to prove you’re worthy
3. Treats partnership as a status symbol or finish line

Flora instead teaches that:

1. Your worth is inherent, not measured by body count, relationship count, or age
2. Your love story has its own timing; you are not “behind”
3. Strategy (like how you ask for support, attention, or money) should reflect your standards, not desperation
4. You can curate your dating pool, rather than shrinking yourself to fit into one

This approach tends to create calmer decision-making, less anxiety about timelines, and higher-quality connections, because you are dating from self-respect instead of scarcity or comparison.
