82. Love At First Impression Rose

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Today I’m joined by Christine Loera, a Story Producer on an infamous (and for the purposes of our interview, anonymous) reality dating show to discuss dating on-screen vs. IRL. We dissect the persona and the traits that correlate to success on reality TV, and contemplate the feasibility of falling in love over the span of a few weeks. Christine opens up about how her job has impacted her own dating life for the positive (by providing an unexpected opening to come out to her parents) and the negative (through setting unrealistic expectations for relationship progress).

Today’s solo is about doing things solo – even when you have a partner. I discuss my attempt to make Bachelor viewing a couples activity, and broader expectations for shared interests in a relationship. I also reflect on using independence as a coping mechanism against a partner who doesn’t prioritize you, and the ways I acted out in response to that feeling in the past.

I’m in love with TWO strippers – Danica and Riley, today’s guests and the cohosts of 50 Plus a Tip podcast. They share strip club insights ranging from the cost of a lap dance (hint: it’s in the title of their show), how NOT to compliment a dancer, and straight female patron faux pas that range from cringy to downright rude. We also discuss the intersection of their careers and love life – including thoughts on dating customers, the effect stripping has on confidence, and when to disclose your line of work.

79. Grandma, Unfiltered w/Excuse My Grandma podcast

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Kim Murstein and her Grandma Gail of Excuse My Grandma podcast join me to debate the pros and cons of modern dating- dissecting everything from self-proclaimed “entrepreneurs” on the dating apps, whether bad sex is a dealbreaker, and if there’s any benefit to being exclusive before being bf/gf. We evaluate the merit of traditional beliefs around paying for dates, women making the first move, and co-habitating before marriage in today’s dating landscape, and I tell a Venmo story that fails Grandma Gail’s standard for manners.

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Jenna Langbaum, author of Me In Search of You, gives an honest and unfiltered view of what it’s actually like to date in New York through short stories that span everything from a first date rife with overshares, Bumble profile dealbreakers, and the sinking realization you’re being ghosted by someone you weren’t even that into. She distinguishes the few moments in the city that DO actually make you feel like Carrie Bradshaw vs. the modern dating experiences that are notably absent from Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Friends, and the like.

77. Dating Like a Main Character w/Case Kenny

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Case Kenny of New Mindset, Who Dis? podcast joins me to discuss how reckless fuckboy / fuckgirl accusations, main character energy, and other dating buzzwords are impacting our love lives. He breaks down ways to own your standards and sniff out a legitimate fuckperson in the process without being labeled as “crazy.” Finally, we explore why we’re quicker to label someone a sociopath than to reflect on what we’re actually bringing to the table (or as Kelis would say, “to the yard”).

This week’s solo episode touches on the respective struggles of celebrating Thanksgiving both single and coupled. I reflect on each time I’ve met a boyfriend’s parent(s), including finding the right balance of alcohol consumption, and the meeting that was never supposed to take place at all.

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

I interview my former coworker and Queen of Staten Island, Marissa Ginsberg, about New York-specific dating woes. We compare the LA and NY male archetypes, and Marissa shares a range of dating app stories including red beard dye, psychedelics, and drenched attire that raise a broader question – Are Brooklyn men okay?? Marissa also opens up about the driving force behind getting on the apps after an extended break-up, and gives her take on whether or not exes can (and should) remain friends.

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Ilana Dunn from Seeing Other People podcast shares her perspectives around online dating as a former Hinge employee (pre- Roses and voice prompts). We expose ill-advised dating behaviors driven by insecurity, like FBI-level social stalking and future-tripping after one date, and contrast what it feels like to finally date someone who you don’t have to consult your group chat about. Ilana also opens up about the difficulties behind cohosting her podcast with someone she previously dated, and finally puts to rest the age old question of whether or not exes can truly be friends.

Tinah Ogalo of In Your Twentys podcast shares her perspective on dating as a 23-year-old navigating post-college life. We discuss Tinder’s reputation as a hookup app, its prominence in campus dating culture, and the situationships that have arisen from her own swiping. We close with the single piece of advice she thinks everyone in their 20s should follow, and why it essentially boils down to not giving a fuck.
