A new dating trend is taking over TikTok and before you roll your eyes, dating experts say it’s actually a cry for help. This idea that women will only accept the physically perfect man: six feet, six figures, six pack and six inches, is pure fantasy. And it’s not fantasy versus reality, it’s fantasy versus intimacy and that equals loneliness. It may even be considered a form of self sabotage that feels safe because there’s no one who could meet those requirements. However, dating experts say there are real questions we should all be asking of potential partners, and it has nothing to do with the four sixes.

Say it ain’t so, poor Vanilla Ice.  Just hours after the 90’s artist put up a video on social media, enthusiastically telling fans how excited he was to perform on the National Mall to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the group hosting the event announced it was being cancelled due to “inclement weather.” The issue, D.C. meteorologists were only predicting possible scattered showers, leading many people to believe the concert was actually cancelled because of low attendance concerns.  Vanilla Ice was just one of two artists who agreed to perform after a handful of other 90s singers and groups all cancelled, not wanting to be associated with the Trump administration. For now, only Flo Rida is still scheduled to perform next week… let’s hold onto our apple bottom jeans and see what happens!

In our most recent episode about Pride month, we referenced our interview with Captain Sandy from Below Deck Mediterranean and her wife Leah.  Here it is!  We had the pleasure to sit down and talk with the happily married couple about their unconventional love story and Sandy had a drop the mic moment when describing why she thinks gay love is sometimes received negatively.  We’re all too focused on the sex part of the relationship rather than the love.  It’s a fascinating conversation and a beautiful love story you won’t want to miss.

We’re recording this episode as we get ready to celebrate the annual Pride March here in New York City, a huge parade steeped in history, going back to the 1969 police raid on the Stonewall on this very date, June 28th. But did you know that Pride Month isn’t recognized nationally this year, nor any year where a Republican is president, going back to 1999 when Pride month was first established by President Clinton. In fact, several states have even chosen counter programming for the month, labeling June as Nuclear Family Month, Strong Families Month, or even Fidelity Month.

This week, former NFL player Brandon Marshall posted a video of him teaching his son a lesson for not listening. In the video you see 11-year-old Zi running at 2 am as Marshall drives along, telling him that discipline correction is good. The video sparked strong debate with many saying the public shaming is embarrassing and harmful to his son, while others applaud Marshall for teaching his son discipline.

So many people are skeptical of the love story that brought us to tears last night: watching Bryce and Trinity reuniting after pining away for one another in Casa Amor. Come on, how could they each fake those tearful confessionals apart? How could they know what the other was feeling or thinking, and when would they have had a private space to come up with a plan? Nah, we believe in their slow burn friendship turned romance and we are rooting for them to the very end.

During last night’s recoupling, we saw the girls each praise the Casa Amor man they coupled up with, some even saying they were the “perfect man.” Then we heard Melanie, Kayda and Aniya all criticize the boy they had been coupled up with, talking about the hurt and distrust they felt for them. But when decision time came, they all dumped the nice guys, the men who they said all made them feel seen and validated. Amy and T.J. talk about why it seems, nice guys always finish last.

Stay tuned for our next episode, where T.J. explains why K.C. dumped sweet Aniya for Titi.
