In Part 1 of our #UnderstandingMen series, Tonya Buford brings together a mixed panel of men and women for an honest, unfiltered conversation about attraction, relationships, and the traits men say matter most — while women respond in real time.

This conversation is part of a bigger mission for Tonya.

As the creator and moderator of Beyond the Profile: Swipe Less. Connect More, Tonya created this video series because she believes too many people are dating through assumptions, social media noise, trauma, and surface-level expectations — without truly understanding one another. Her goal is to create a space where real people can have the conversations that are often avoided, so viewers can make better choices in dating, relationships, and who they give their heart to.

Because when we better understand ourselves — and each other — we date better.

👉 Help you make better choices in dating and relationships.
