The ways we handle rejection provide an excellent insight into our strength of character, integrity, and potential for success in society. We've all been rejected, but if you're the type to lash out, be insulting or abusive, or throw a temper tantrum, it's time to grow up. Your Dating Kinda Sucks hosts Sarah and Adam take this episode to talk about better and healthier ways to deal with rejection as they discuss how so many men are ruining it for the rest of the dating world. Say it with us boys: "Women shouldn't have to be afraid of telling us no!" Learn how to be an adult when you get rejected, or get angry like that moron in the bagel shop whining about being short. It's up to you!

This episode, your Dating Kinda Sucks hosts talk about the fear of missing out and how it applies to the world of dating. Do you spend your downtime cyberstalking your ex and bemoaning their latest adventures with the newest person to catch their eye? Are you looking back with regret instead of forward with eager anticipation? Adam and Sarah talk about why you need to let your exes go, stop giving into FOMO, and quit torturing yourself. You deserve the chance to be happy, and focusing on the f*ckboys of the past won't help.

This episode, Sarah and Adam talk about dating app shame. Too many people shame others for using dating apps, which is a dick move, and too many others think they should be embarrassed for choosing to use dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OKCupid, Match, POF (okay, well, POF makes sense) and others. That's like being embarrassed for using a bike to get to work while someone else uses a train, and other people walk to work. Dating app shame is ridiculous on all ends, and whether you're experiencing it or perpetuating it, the Dating Kinda Sucks hosts are here to tell you to cut the bullshit and join the modern world while giving you some good reasons to consider why dating apps are great tools!

After you make that first virtual impression through a dating app (or maybe you're getting set up by friends), the first impression you make on your first date is so important. Sarah and Adam talk about all of the ways to screw that up, and how to avoid them! Plus, your hosts answer a listener question, talk about their own dating lives, or lack thereof, and Adam rants about people sitting on the same side of the booth . . . yes, again.

Sarah and Adam don't usually get political here on Dating Kinda Sucks, and this is no exception. The issue of bodily autonomy for women shouldn't be a political issue. It's a human rights issue. It's an equality issue. It's a power issue. And it's an issue that your hosts will dive into, as it's essential for every person who supports human rights and equality to be loud, be vocal, and speak their minds. You may not agree with what we have to say, but listen and see if we don't sound damned eloquent saying it.

With Sarah gallivanting around France, Adam hijacks the entire hour to talk about some of the stupid shit men do when it comes to dating, answer some listener questions, and offer maybe a little bit of hope for women looking for decent men out there. Also, Adam genuinely appreciates Sarah's audio editing skills as he edited this episode himself poorly and thinks it sounds awful. Sarah's back next week, so don't despair, DKSers!

Does porn negatively affect relationships? From making it in bed to watching it alone, porn has some type of impact on millions of relationships every year. But does it enhance a healthy relationship or detract from one? Sarah and Adam whip it all out for this episode talking about the red flags to watch out for, the times you might be overreacting, and when it's healthy and normal to inject a little pornographic fun into your love life.

Is marriage truly an ultimate goal of yours? Why or why not? Sarah and Adam talk about the "I Dos" and "I Don'ts" of marriage - is it necessary? Does there have to be a step after a serious committed relationship? What are the pros and cons? Why does dating have to lead to marriage - can't it just lead to two happy people living together until one of them kicks the bucket? Are you an idiot if you rush into marriage like it's a sprint? Are people who are desperate to get married above all else dooming themselves to failure? You'll have to listen to find out!
