The Meat Market: Savannah’s Take on Dating, Independence, and Modern Masculinity

The modern dating world feels more like a battleground than a love story. Genuine connection is hard to find, and honesty is often in short supply. In this week’s episode of The Meat Market, hosts Lindsay and Jess sit down with Savannah—a self-described “not your average cowgirl”—who brings an unfiltered perspective on love, independence, and navigating relationships in 2025.

Are Modern Men Weaker?

Savannah doesn’t hold back. She opens with a bold claim: men today have lost the strength and grit of past generations.

“There were men out there writing love letters in the middle of a war,” she says. “And these dudes can’t even send a text back.”

For her, the decline in follow-through and accountability is one of the biggest hurdles in dating today.

Independence in an Unforgiving Industry

Outside of dating, Savannah carves her own path as a freelance model and OnlyFans creator. Unlike many in the industry, she’s deliberately avoided agencies to maintain control over her image and work.

Her success hasn’t come easily. She’s been on the platform for five years, building a following that requires constant creativity, self-marketing, and resilience. She also sets the record straight: most creators earn far less than the public assumes. On top of that, harassment, death threats, and stigma are daily realities of the job—challenges she meets with unshakable determination.

Dating as an OnlyFans Creator

Savannah takes a transparent approach to relationships. She tells potential partners about her work immediately rather than waiting for them to stumble upon it online.

While this honesty can shrink her dating pool, it aligns with her no-nonsense style. She also calls out patterns of manipulation, including “love bombing”—when men overwhelm her with affection and promises, only to later reveal dishonesty and hidden agendas.

Dogs Before Dates

Not all of Savannah’s dating stories are heavy. Pets, particularly dogs, play a surprisingly big role in modern relationships.

Studies show that 86% of people say their dogs positively impact their dating lives. For Savannah, it’s non-negotiable: if a partner doesn’t love her animals, there’s no relationship. In her words, she’d choose her dogs over a man any day.

The Meat Market Mentality

Savannah also sheds light on the darker side of dating. She shares the heartbreak of discovering a partner juggling multiple women—including a long-term girlfriend—while making future plans with her.

It’s the kind of betrayal that embodies the “meat market” culture: treating people as disposable instead of valuing them for who they truly are.

A Voice That Challenges Assumptions

Savannah’s story is full of contradictions: she holds to traditional values while thriving in an alternative lifestyle. That tension makes her perspective compelling.

Her candid experiences remind listeners that resilience, strong boundaries, and authentic self-expression are vital tools for surviving the modern dating world.
