You're Invisible On Dating Apps

I did sixty episodes of this podcast without ever showing my face. Then I turned on a camera and everything changed overnight. Comments, DMs, strangers feeling like they knew me — none of it happened for fourteen months and then all of it happened at once. This episode is about why presence does something that photos and audio never can, what it means for your dating profile, and why the thirty seconds of video you haven't posted yet might be the only thing standing between you and a connection. Video versions of the weekly podcast are available on: YouTube (https://youtube.com/@trenterikson?si=N_E7ILngSm6iLKHC) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/2DFGqBQLbCS6xvtSGBNGv1?si=VvT5-qwFRfi_AyQaspTeRg) And often on: Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@trenterikson?_r=1&_t=ZT-97HwB8sUENJ) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/trenterikson?igsh=aGtwM2NrbWduZG80) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/share/18EsxKFtgB/) X (https://x.com/TrentErikson) Make sure to …

Why Can't Anyone Just Act Normal Anymore?

I've finally had it. This one's a little different. Shirtless showdowns, pickleball pansies, Wimbledon-level tennis jags on a public court, scooter shits, absurdly loud cars, and industrial-strength playground blunts. Tune in for a completely reasonable and measured discussion. Obviously.

Why Can't Anyone Just Act Normal Anymore?

I walk my dog Holly through the same Chicago park four to six times a day. After months of watching the same characters perform the same nonsense, I've finally had enough. In this episode: shirtless workout guys, pickleball fanatics, Wimbledon-level tennis players on crooked public courts, scooter kids treating sidewalks like racetracks, absurdly loud cars, and a man rolling industrial-strength blunts next to a playground. A completely reasonable and measured discussion. Obviously. #relationshipadvice #datingover50 #moderndating

You Should Have Told Me Before It Got This Far

She was smart, funny, attractive, and easy to talk to. Days of genuine connection that felt like something real. And then she mentioned something that changed everything. This episode is about the information people strategically withhold in early dating, the specific details that would change everything for the other person if disclosed upfront. Some of it is serious, some of it is ridiculous, and all of it is real. Things that belong in your bio but somehow never make it there.
