In this episode:

When is it a good time to reveal a "non-life threatening, non-STD and non-forever health issue" while dating? Is complete, up-front transparency mandatory in mate selection, or is it none of anyone's beeswax? More improtantly: is there any set rubric for medical seriousness, or is it all a matter of perspective? Feel better!

A listener's boyfriend has laid out his Zero Tolerance Threesome Policy. For all kinds! Naturally, she runs into the arms of the two hunkiest Guy Friends she has. Sensing her vulnerability, they respond to her question instead. So close!

It's here. It's now. It's VALENTINE'S DAY. Or better yet, it's THE GUY FRIENDS PODCAST ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. You better believe it.

In this, the special V-Day/B-Day episode, Josh and Aaron reflect on a holiday celebrating human Eros -- Josh tries to convince Aaron it's really a day for everyone. Tune in and find out if he succeeds. Meanwhile, Aaron creates a new abbreviation for "significant other", which actually could catch on...

Just be the reed that blows in the wind, okay?

Then the guys break it down: Year One. How did they do? Where are we going? What were the best questions? It's getting real up in here.

In this episode:

First up, Kate and Lauren educate the Guy Friends on who Kate Upton is, and they are not impressed. What is it about celebrities? Why do people think they're so sexy if they're always so squeamish about their sex tapes?

A listener has been hanging out with a dude that she once made-out with for months... without any further make-outs! MONTHS. OF DRINKING IN BARS AT NIGHT. THEN GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. What is this dudes deal? What's her deal? The Guy Friends' suggestion? Crack open your old college notebooks.

And we have two follow-ups!

A listener from last week lets us know that the dude who would never take the initiative in making plans with her has disappeared :'(

And the big ole' weenie from two weeks ago texts his date to bring his awkwardness game to a whole new level. Dramatic readings ensue.

In this episode:

A listener always has to go out of her way to set up the hangouts with a new guys she's been seeing. And he always says Yes! Does he like her? Should the one-sideness of planning give her any reasons to question his motives? What does a birthday appearance really mean in this day and age? Are there any female urologists out there?

A woman in a straight long-distance relationship is tempted to makeout with a lady. It truly pains the Guy Friends to lead her towards the Moral and the Good. Because we're Nice Guys. Real nice guys. Not the lame kind like on Jezebel.

In this episode:

A massively over-hyped first date disappoints... one of them. What should our listener do with a guy whose "Meh" Meter is poorly calibrated? Is a second date necessary to break-up with someone you aren't even dating? Does anyone remember how to use an actual phone?

Cunnilingus. Since the dawn of Man, it has raised the mighty to ascendancy, and destroyed whole empires. To wield it is an office as ancient and hallowed as the Great World Sea that bears the very Earth Tortoise herself. And yet, somewhere there is a lad who, 'midst his own childlike innocence, shirks his duties as a boyfriend... O! All-Father Zeus!

In this episode:

How long is too long to wait to introduce both sets of parents to each other? When they live in the same metropolitan area? The Guy Friends questions whether not wanting to is weird, or if it even matters.

A gay friend from New Hampshire writes us about good dumping etiquette, and gets a lesson on how to continue his hunt through the snowy wilds while dealing with clingers.

We also discuss our on-going OkCupid advice series, and make fun of both Lena Dunham and the New York Times in one swoop, because we're better than everyone.

The Guy Friends give advice on giving advice. How do you tell your sister that her BF is an Obvious Dick? With tact!

And a conversation about age differences turns into a conversation about Windows 95. Naturally.

In this episode:

A listener asks how one is expected to stake one's "claim" when two pairs of sexy strangers are meeting in a bar. Should you develop an intricate language of hypersubtle facial twitches and microgestures, like in Dune? Yes. Barring that, the Guy Friends also have other advice.

And the Guy Friends discuss New Year's Resolutions! The Guy Friends give their suggestions on resolutions we should all adopt for this coming year, as well as provide this year's updated interpretation of #yolo.

In this week's episode, a caller doesn't get whether being invited to Meet the Friends on a second date is a good or bad thing. Is it casual? Or is it not? Is it casual because it's not? It is serious and casual at the same time?

And someone else has a thing about waking up in her bed ie: she's like every other human on earth and likes it more than waking up in her significant other's bed. One problem: she's not compromising.

In this episode:

Yet another listener and her friends call in to the podcast to contribute to our detailed census on women who pee in the shower. The Guy Friends will not rest until everyone is accounted for!

A woman has a deep and probably mutual workplace crush on a coworker who just got out of a relationship. Jumping his bones is a no-brainer -- so why shouldn't she? Just how important is the separation between one's genitals and their money? Have the Guy Friends discovered the greatest t-shirt slogan of all time?

And finally, the Guy Friends return to an old point of contention: is it poor form to discuss OkCupid whilst on an OkCupid date? Or is it a stroke of fucking genius?!
