The Guy Friends are back to tackle a recent article that made quite a stir across the Infonet. Is it possible to fall deeply, madly, & truly in love with a stranger by answering 36 questions and staring at someone for a bit?

Join the Guy Friends as they take a look at this study and its questions across two episodes. You can even follow along:

Happy New Year! In celebration of the Earth’s birthday, we made it a brand new episode. You’re welcome!

A listener was recently exposed to a new term by some guy friends of her own: “cohabbing,” v. gerund, “to spend quality time with a partner one lives with.” This has her wondering: just how accepting are dudes of their bros spending QT with their live-in QTs?

And yet another QT is in the early stages of dating a man who is slightly younger than she is — by a whopping two years! In her mind she feels that age ain’t nothing but a number, but in her *heart* she feels that this dude is too immature. Just how OK is it to fret over such a slim gap?

The Guy Friends are back to celebrate that fateful time, ages ago, when a single question provided #content for eight miraculous episodes...

A listener is seeing a new dude, and she can tell he's into her — so into her, he wants to collaborate with her on a ~creative exploit~. She's concerned that it may be a poor decision in both areas. Is it reasonable that she's hesitant to Rodger her Hammerstein?

And a listener started to get to know a group of friends — one of whom she went on a date with. The date was a flop, but she wants to continue bro-ing down with the whole crew. There seems to still be a little tension there — what's the best way to handle it?

The Guy Friends return with a study in expectations. It’s not that we want you to listen — we just want you to want to listen.

A listener visits a dude she’s sort of seeing in his own city, and he doesn’t pay for anything. The independent human in her wants to think that’s fine, but she’s having trouble reconciling the deeply-ingrained notion that he should at least offer. Is it OK to expect him to cover 51% or more of a check every now and again? Or should she get used to the new and double-sided frontier of ~ungendered dating norms?~

And a listener wonders: what if *she’s* the one who doesn’t want to use a condom? Is Black Friday too early to unwrap your present?

We’re back, and fucking FULL of Whoppers. Yes: WHOPPERS.

How much is too much Mom-talk? A listener has had to endure an earful of Mom-centric chatter. But is she wrong to want to change the subject? The Guy Friends are famous for their pro-Mom stance, but even they can agree there’s a limit.

A first date goes great — how soon is too soon to setup a second? Is it better to play it cool, or stay on top of your schedule? The Guy Friends — in their Branson-like wisdom — advocate for the latter.

And what to do when a guy takes the female orgasm as a challenge? When a dude can’t see the forest through but a single tree, how can you convince him that not all sex needs to follow the same script — and that that’s OK?

We’re back, and more juvenile than ever!

What do you do when the guy you’re seeing is an extremely picky eater? A listener’s dude is reluctant to eat outside the box. How should you handle it when someone’s food preferences are starting to impact Date Night… and possibly even your attraction to someone? Is this an area of compatibility that can be worked on?

And finally we discuss… ~shudder~... weak kiss game.

The Guy Friends are back to help you get a grip, on all kinds of stuff!

A listener is still mad about a semi-betrayal from two years ago. A seasonal gig at a camp brought her close to a coworker — who then faded out to be with another girl! Fast-forward to today: despite having a boyfriend of her own and the original guy being long gone, she cannot bear to be around this other woman. How can she best handle her issues with this person? What do you do when water under the bridge still roils with the hate of a hundred storms? A hundred!!!

And a listener has been monitoring her boyfriend’s personal lubricant levels. The rate of... ~depletion~ has her concerned. But is she LUBE-SHAMING him? The Guy Friends sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide in to deliver some wisdom.

The Guy Friends have returned with our first remote, ~tape-synced~ episode. We’re sorry for the…

...delay!

A listener’s not-extremely close friend has some serious thoughts about her bringing a plus one to her wedding: she’s demanding it! Is it strange — boorish, even — to demand that she schlep a buddy? Who among her friends should she select as obligatory arm candy. Surprisingly, the Guy Friends manage to provide a totally reasonable calculus for bringing a bro in tow.

And a listener wants to sleep with a foreign friend whenever he’s in town on business. He’s also down, but wants it to be more than just a FWB-type situation. He wants a fully-fledged, long distance poly relationship. Because he’s also married. Writing more might just confuse you — just listen in, folks!

The Creep-Out Cock-Block, and Fly Fishing Out Your Bait & Tackle

After a move-related month-long hiatus, the Guy Friends are back, reminding you to be careful what you wish for...

A listener is re-watching True Detective with a guy she just started boning. As their second Sex n’ Watch approaches, she’s starting to grow concerned about a particularly disturbing scene that she knows is coming up in the next episode. Is it possible that this uncomfortable moment (which the Guy Friends have not seen) might give her lover’s willy the willies? What’s a good way to bounce back from non-sexy adult content and into the bedroom?

We round our return out with a hyper-detailed discussion on underwear flies. Didn’t you miss us?
