Let's get honest for a minute as we chat with comedian Jared Freid about the root of "bad dating behavior" and why it can be so damn hard to be honest. We discuss how it can almost be "ungentlemanlike" to be totally upfront, why ambiguity leads to situationships, and what's really going on in man's brain while on the relationship train.
