In this episode, we discuss the impact of existing for-profit models on online dating in general and online dating users specifically. These apps are a business, and they use many different ways to keep users on their platform and have them spend as much money as possible before finding lasting matches. It's not good, it's not bad, but it is a reality so we may as well discuss it.

This week, more dating advice! This question was a doozy so it took up its own episode: We talk about the importance of taking time to heal before going back in the dating pool, and the difficulties in assessing compatibility with a new partner if you still haven't dealt with lingering feelings for previous relationships (with some tough love in between). 

We already talked about the dont's for profile pictures. In this episode, we are all about the do's! Do post flattering pictures, Do post pictures that show your interests (but are flattering first), Do post pictures in different outfits (that are flattering), Do post SOME pictures with friends (if it's only a fraction of your total pictures, and flattering), Do post pictures of you smiling (in a flattering way). Think you get the gist? You don't, so listen to this one. 

There are some things you may NOT want to include in your profile bio. So many, that we covered the things you SHOULD include in a previous episode. In this episode, we'll go over things you might not want to include, things you definitely should not include, and things that may or may not be relevant to different aspects of your life but might not be worth mentioning right out of the gate. We hope you like it. 

In this episode, we talk about engaging in the dating process while maintaining respect for yourself. You deserve to be treated as a person, on the first date as much as on the last date. And while it is tempting to let your standards slack after one-too-many first dates, it is important to remember that embodying what you want from someone is one of the best ways to find it. Enjoy. 

There are many things you should include in your profile bio. So many, that we'll have to leave the things you should NOT include for another episode. In this episode, we'll go over things you should include, things you could include, and things that may or may not be relevant to different aspects of your life but might be worth mentioning. We hope you like it. 

Late 20's, friends getting married, I'm not getting married, I'm never getting married, my life is over, i'll be alone forever. In this episode, we talk about how life and love don't end at 30, the importance of single friends, and the illusory nature of certain milestones set by our culture. 

Are common interests important? Am I too tall for any guy to want to date me? Will I die alone surrounded only by my cats? We answer these and more questions. 

Everyone is great and mentally stable and has never had any clinical issues on dating profiles. Everyone is lying. In this episode, we talk about reading between the lines to hopefully get a better idea of who you're messaging and save yourself the drudgery of a terrible first date. 

Which pics make the best pics for a dating profile? You probably know better than to upload pics with your ex (hopefully) but what about everything else? In this episode, we go into why giving the camera the middle finger or holding up dead fish may not be the best idea.
