    Jim's a 40-something guy who lives in Florida and exclusively dates strippers. What can he teach your host about improving her dating life in NYC?
    Tell Us:
    What do you make of Jim? Is he a real world Richard Gere seeking his own stripper with a heart of gold, or is there something darker at play? Would you take his dating advice seriously?

  • One Date at a Time

    Think about it: The de facto first date invitation tends to be "let's get a drink." What's a single person to do when they don't imbibe?

  • Do I Hate Men?

    Before listening to this week's show, we recommend starting out with our "Dudes in Bars" episode from last week.

    For this week's show, we go back to the day of the Women's March, back to our army of lady interviewers and the dudes they talked to in bars around the country. And we ask men whether or not they're feminists. Turns out, it's not such an easy question to answer.

    To discuss this week's episode, head to facebook.com/whyohwhyradio or tweet with #whyohwhy. You can find Andrea on Twitter as @andreasilenzi.
