When should you define the relationship? Are breaks ever a good idea? And what should you be focusing on instead of landing a man? We brought in our friend, fellow podcaster, and dating guru Lindsey Metselaar from We Met at Acme podcast to offer her no-bullshit outlook on all these important topics, and loved what she had to say. We also introduce a new game -- What Would You Do? Enjoy! Follow Lindsey on Instagram @LindzMetz and @WeMetAtAcme.

"So, what are we?" with Lindsey Metsalaar

Why do guys just want to f*ck you once then stalk your Instagram forever? Should you ditch the apps and meet people in the wild? How do you get over a breakup when you feel like you're gonna die?

These are all topics discussed on Girls Gotta Eat -- a comedy podcast about dating, sex, and relationships co-hosted by Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg.

We are SO excited to be joined by Tinx to talk about box theory, reverse box theory, and a GGE exclusive – the Eating Box Theory. But there’s so much more – we’re discussing all the ways to take back your power in dating (and enjoy it more) by shifting your mindset, working the apps to your advantage, embracing your cringe, getting into your main character energy, and holding funerals when situationships end. We also discuss reinventing yourself, still lusting for an ex when you ended it, how to advocate for your own pleasure in bed, and more. Before Tinx joins us, we’re announcing our new Suck & Blow Gel flavor (!!!), having a ridiculous conversation about eating ass, and catching up on Ashley’s blowjob apology and Rayna’s sensual massage.

Embrace Your Cringe and Take Back Your Dating Power feat. Tinx

We are so excited to have Matthew Hussey back, fresh off the release of his amazing new book Love Life, to talk about raising your standards and finding love. He validates the stress (and often sadness) around finding a partner in the first place and why it’s hard to “just relax,” and then we discuss why you may need to fight against your own instincts when dating. Matthew breaks down how to raise your standards, recognize intention vs. attention, stop overvaluing the wrong people, and let go of “unhatched eggs.” He also opens about his marriage and how, at the beginning of the relationship, his wife lowered the stakes while raising the standard. Lastly, we discuss finding the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship. Before Matthew joins us, we’re talking about nudes, awkward customer service interactions, the plane window shade debate, and BOOTH BOYFRIENDS. Enjoy! Follow Matthew on instagram @thematthewhussey, order his book Love Life, and listen to his podcast Love Life with Matthew Hussey.  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

How to Stop Overvaluing People Who Undervalue You with Matthew Hussey

It's a hot one! Tyler Cameron is in the GGE studio and we are covering so much – his new construction gig and TV show, the truth about his OnlyFans, if he would ever be the Bachelor (and if he’s been asked), Kristin Cavallari and the Montana Boyz, Gigi Hadid and the Ramada, what he thinks about Tom Sandoval, and why he’s never brought a gift to a wedding. We also discuss his current relationship status, what he’s looking for in a partner, and how he views finances in a relationship. Before Tyler joins us, we’re recapping our Hawaii trip (and hellscape of a boat excursion), Ashley’s housewarming, and Rayna’s lie about her ex. Enjoy!

Tyler Cameron’s New Gig, Dream Girl, and OnlyFans

We’re talking about opposite sex friends when you’re in a relationship – if/when you’re justified in being suspicious, couples having the rule of “no one-on-one hangs,” the controversial “work wife,” changing your behavior when your close guy friend gets into a relationship, and more. We’re also dissecting two listener emails that got us heated. Before we dive in, we’re breaking down the recent Andrew Huberman scandal and sharing a hilarious laser hair removal story, plus why Rayna is the fun one on IG and the popular food Ashley hates.
