Kacie Main, author of "I Gave Up Men For Lent," shares the story of why she took a break from men for over 40 days, how she identified her purpose in dating, and moved past dating fatigue. Damona and Kacie also cover headlines: Do ladies dumb themselves down to get a date, one trick guaranteed to get you a second date, and this dating app has banned filtered photos forever. Plus they answer questions from listeners such as how to respond to disrespectful comments on dating apps and what to do if a dating app conversation has gone cold.  Want to do some extra reading on the topics we cover this episode?
