Everyone Is Looking for a Way Out of the Apps
A conversation that should have never happened made me realize something I hadn't connected before. Dating apps and matchmaking services are trying to accomplish the same thing, but they're built on completely different incentives. One depends on engagement. The other depends on successful introductions. Once you notice that difference, it's hard to stop seeing it. It's why so many people are giving up on the apps, and why I think we're getting close to the next evolution of online dating. #relationshipadvice #datingover50 #moderndating

Your Picture Just Cost You a Date
I did sixty episodes of this podcast without 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 an actual connection. #relationshipadvice #datingover50 #moderndating

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
