00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.867
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.

00:00:03.867 --> 00:00:05.913
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:11.029
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.

00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:13.173
His wife just reached out to me.

00:00:15.461 --> 00:00:16.623
Welcome to the meat market.

00:00:16.623 --> 00:00:19.891
The single scene is a slaughterhouse and we are here to devour it.

00:00:19.891 --> 00:00:20.801
We are your hosts.

00:00:20.801 --> 00:00:24.652
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling single is Simon.

00:00:24.652 --> 00:00:26.885
Welcome, hello, thank you for having me.

00:00:26.885 --> 00:00:31.271
So you have had a bad string of dates and some scary situations.

00:00:31.271 --> 00:00:32.167
Yes, I have.

00:00:32.167 --> 00:00:32.551
I sure have.

00:00:32.551 --> 00:00:33.340
We want to hear those.

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:34.523
Yeah, absolutely.

00:00:34.523 --> 00:00:36.628
Well, I've got two that stick out to me.

00:00:36.628 --> 00:00:42.070
One I had a stalker, so basically I was emailing this guy on an app.

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:50.090
Every email he would send back to me would be two to three pages long, like it got to a point where it was like okay, creepo.

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:50.531
That's eternal.

00:00:50.811 --> 00:00:53.384
Yeah, big time, and it was about nothing really.

00:00:53.384 --> 00:00:55.892
And so finally I was like this is not working for me.

00:00:55.892 --> 00:00:59.365
So then I sent an email back saying I'm not interested, let's just move on.

00:00:59.365 --> 00:01:01.808
So then I don't hear from him for months.

00:01:01.808 --> 00:01:04.253
Next thing I get, I get an email from him.

00:01:04.253 --> 00:01:06.040
Do you know a good oncologist?

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.450
I'm in the oncology field and I ignored it, didn't say anything.

00:01:10.450 --> 00:01:15.612
And so then I show up to work and I get a text message Not sure how he got my number.

00:01:15.612 --> 00:01:18.762
He's like you're so much prettier and taller in person.

00:01:19.141 --> 00:01:23.929
That is scary oh my gosh, yeah, I was like what the heck?

00:01:23.929 --> 00:01:28.055
And so then I look at the patient list and I see his name on there.

00:01:28.055 --> 00:01:30.667
So he's actually a patient of one of my partners.

00:01:31.168 --> 00:01:31.990
Wow yeah.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:40.790
So yeah, but he signed in saying I was his doctor, even though I was not, and the whole time he just was texting me constantly, constantly.

00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:41.611
What.

00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.346
Yes, really creepy.

00:01:43.346 --> 00:01:49.430
So then I went to my partner and said you've got to get rid of him.

00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:50.632
I mean, this is bizarre.

00:01:50.632 --> 00:01:52.316
That's like call security Exactly, Exactly.

00:01:52.558 --> 00:01:56.429
And unfortunately, my partner was like no, he's a patient, I've got to take care of him.

00:01:56.429 --> 00:01:57.311
Like what about me?

00:01:57.311 --> 00:01:58.641
Yeah, thank you.

00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:01.484
Well, anyway, he stayed there, got his chemotherapy.

00:02:01.484 --> 00:02:06.932
Finally, I found him in the room alone and I went up to him and said listen, you can't be doing this.

00:02:06.932 --> 00:02:07.953
Stop your texting.

00:02:07.953 --> 00:02:09.975
This is a professional setting.

00:02:09.975 --> 00:02:10.981
Don't do this anymore.

00:02:11.323 --> 00:02:12.325
I was just going to ask that.

00:02:12.325 --> 00:02:14.891
Did he actually need treatment or was he?

00:02:16.343 --> 00:02:16.463
faking.

00:02:16.463 --> 00:02:16.805
He really did.

00:02:16.805 --> 00:02:18.710
I thought he was faking it, but how do you fake it?

00:02:18.710 --> 00:02:25.192
I know that's the thing you can for a while until you get the tests back Exactly.

00:02:25.192 --> 00:02:26.054
Exactly.

00:02:26.054 --> 00:02:29.651
But you know, I was just living on edge, just walking to my car.

00:02:29.651 --> 00:02:31.747
I was afraid I had someone walk with me.

00:02:31.747 --> 00:02:35.046
He would constantly text me, he would bring girls with him, what?

00:02:35.046 --> 00:02:38.835
Sitting in his lap in the chemo room being rowdy, just trying to make me jealous.

00:02:38.975 --> 00:02:39.960
Oh my gosh yeah.

00:02:40.501 --> 00:02:41.002
Oh my gosh.

00:02:41.002 --> 00:02:46.554
So finally he was done with his treatments and I had that talk with him and I never heard from him again.

00:02:46.554 --> 00:02:52.173
But, wow, it took me a few months to just not look over my shoulder about that.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:56.632
Seriously, so you're a doctor, do you like people to call you Dr Simon?

00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.485
No, no, no, I mean, that's a job.

00:02:58.485 --> 00:03:01.010
Yeah, that's not completely who I am.

00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:07.352
Because I know, like my brother has his doctor and he he does not like people calling him doctor, but there are some people that you have to call me doctor.

00:03:07.391 --> 00:03:10.725
I worked hard to get no, no, no, absolutely not no for me.

00:03:10.725 --> 00:03:12.852
Call me whatever you want, you know my name's preferable.

00:03:13.942 --> 00:03:18.112
No, I'm not like that do guys ever get weird about it, about me?

00:03:18.193 --> 00:03:19.597
being a physician.

00:03:19.597 --> 00:03:20.919
Yeah, yeah, sometimes.

00:03:21.361 --> 00:03:25.020
Oh, you're a doctor, you know that kind of you know that kind of thing I'm like all right, I already know that in there.

00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:25.443
Can you pull?

00:03:25.503 --> 00:03:26.552
out the stethoscope.

00:03:26.552 --> 00:03:33.540
Yeah, right, I'm like no, then you kind of know, then there's going to be some weird vibes going on.

00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:34.442
Yes, Agreed.

00:03:34.461 --> 00:03:37.182
So do doctors date doctors, doctors date nurses.

00:03:37.182 --> 00:03:37.963
Is there a lot of that?

00:03:38.063 --> 00:03:40.925
Yes, yeah, they do.

00:03:40.925 --> 00:03:42.926
Only because you're constantly with each other.

00:03:42.926 --> 00:03:47.349
You know, for me it's like I'm open to meeting all different kinds of people.

00:03:47.349 --> 00:03:50.570
I don't think you should stick with one profession necessarily.

00:03:50.570 --> 00:03:53.233
If I meet a great guy who happens to be a doctor, fantastic.

00:03:53.233 --> 00:03:59.096
If he happens to be something else, great, even better you know, have you ever dated another physician?

00:03:59.096 --> 00:04:00.296
I have yeah, is ego an issue?

00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:03.902
No, it actually wasn't.

00:04:03.902 --> 00:04:04.789
Yeah, yeah, luckily.

00:04:04.951 --> 00:04:07.567
I would not choose to date a guy that was you know.

00:04:07.567 --> 00:04:11.222
Oh, I'm better than you or I'm smarter than you, that kind of stuff, yeah, I don't.

00:04:11.222 --> 00:04:12.966
Yeah, no, my my brother-in-law.

00:04:13.006 --> 00:04:15.471
I always ask my brother-in-law to set me.

00:04:15.471 --> 00:04:18.750
I'm always there's gotta be somebody good that works in your practice.

00:04:18.771 --> 00:04:23.086
They're in Dallas and so I'm always just like he's a physician, he's a surgeon, yes, yes, and so I'm always like there he's a physician.

00:04:23.105 --> 00:04:23.466
He's a surgeon.

00:04:23.487 --> 00:04:26.475
Yes, yes, and so I'm always like there's gotta be somebody, there's gotta be somebody, to where always?

00:04:26.475 --> 00:04:33.250
And he's like listen, he's like all of my colleagues, they're either married or they're weird.

00:04:35.353 --> 00:04:35.935
Isn't that funny.

00:04:35.935 --> 00:04:42.250
And because you know, a lot of times I asked my friends and I was over that whole app thing and I said, hey, do you have guy friends that you can set me up with?

00:04:42.250 --> 00:04:44.752
Like yeah, we have friends, but nobody would set you up with.

00:04:44.752 --> 00:04:45.935
I'm like, what kind of friends do you have?

00:04:45.954 --> 00:04:47.766
then I mean like what's the deal with that?

00:04:47.766 --> 00:04:54.127
Well, it's funny because doctors always comes up as the number one profession that cheats doctors and nurses.

00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:54.971
Interesting.

00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:56.185
Yeah, I'm not surprised.

00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.509
Because it's like Grey's Anatomy, right yeah?

00:05:00.721 --> 00:05:01.524
Like it depends on who.

00:05:01.524 --> 00:05:05.591
If your spouse understands yes, you know, because it's a very hectic schedule.

00:05:05.591 --> 00:05:16.459
You're very busy, you're not always home, not always available, so someone has to be really understanding of that, and so sometimes if the spouse or significant other doesn't understand your schedule, that can be pretty tough.

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.586
Well, and especially if they meet later in the career, like with my brother-in-law and my sister.

00:05:21.586 --> 00:05:27.875
They met while she was in her DNP program and he was in his pre-med.

00:05:27.875 --> 00:05:38.908
You know what I mean so they understood each other's the dynamic that comes along with each other's careers, and it's like now they work together and she is his nurse.

00:05:38.908 --> 00:05:40.031
You know what I mean.

00:05:40.100 --> 00:06:03.245
So it works for them, and so sometimes I feel like if you're coming in and you're dating or trying to date someone who's already established in that career, that's when you have the issues of the not trusting because of the late nights and things like that Well, I think a lot of people watch TV and see the glamorous picture of what a doctor is, and that's not always the case.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:05.065
It's very unglamorous, trust me.

00:06:05.065 --> 00:06:06.069
So yeah.

00:06:07.141 --> 00:06:08.665
So you date, all rangers you date.

00:06:08.665 --> 00:06:10.630
You're willing to date from 30 to 60.

00:06:10.630 --> 00:06:12.225
Is there a difference in?

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.005
You know, you just never know.

00:06:15.005 --> 00:06:18.108
I mean, there's some mature 30-year-olds and immature 60-year-olds.

00:06:18.108 --> 00:06:25.922
That's very true so you know, to me age is just a number, I just a number.

00:06:25.922 --> 00:06:26.803
I mean, I honestly just have to be open.

00:06:26.884 --> 00:06:29.170
Otherwise, if you're limiting yourself to just a small group of people, then it can be pretty tough.

00:06:29.170 --> 00:06:31.276
Is the stamina better in the younger guys?

00:06:31.276 --> 00:06:33.403
I would assume so.

00:06:35.007 --> 00:06:39.980
But then again older men have the have meds, that's true, there are ways around that.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.701
Yeah, exactly.

00:06:40.701 --> 00:06:42.925
How do you feel about being a sugar mama?

00:06:44.228 --> 00:06:45.992
Oh, I don't know, wouldn't want to do that.

00:06:45.992 --> 00:06:46.733
No, I don't think so.

00:06:47.141 --> 00:06:49.329
If he's younger, he has to be still established.

00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:51.144
Because for me it's a respect thing.

00:06:51.144 --> 00:06:52.589
That's key.

00:06:52.589 --> 00:07:02.146
You know, I tend to lose respect for people if they don't respect themselves, so to me that would be a turn off Big time.

00:07:02.146 --> 00:07:03.732
That's fair I agree.

00:07:06.141 --> 00:07:06.221
Easy.

00:07:06.221 --> 00:07:07.764
To me that would be a turnoff big time, that's fair.

00:07:08.004 --> 00:07:08.406
So I agree.

00:07:08.406 --> 00:07:09.226
Easy answer Did you grow up in Arizona?

00:07:09.226 --> 00:07:09.869
No, I actually.

00:07:09.869 --> 00:07:10.670
So long story short.

00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:15.327
I was born in Romania, grew up in New Jersey and then lived in Oklahoma.

00:07:15.327 --> 00:07:16.552
That's where I went to med school.

00:07:16.552 --> 00:07:19.370
Really, and then been in Arizona now almost 20 years.

00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:22.120
So wow, yeah, so been all over, yeah.

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.264
Have you dated in multiple States or?

00:07:24.283 --> 00:07:27.269
Uh, I was pretty young you know, obviously in New Jersey.

00:07:27.269 --> 00:07:31.408
I was, you know, just 10 years old or 12 years old and then came to Oklahoma.

00:07:31.408 --> 00:07:39.307
I you know again, as I mentioned, I came from a sort of conservative culture, so dating was not allowed.

00:07:39.307 --> 00:07:41.793
It was more you got to study, you've got to.

00:07:41.793 --> 00:07:44.867
You know, do well in school, that's your focus, that kind of thing.

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.644
So I dated on the sly With your family and your culture.

00:07:50.644 --> 00:07:52.387
Do they do arranged marriages?

00:07:52.387 --> 00:07:56.891
No, no, no, my parents, there were a lot of marriage, If anything now my parents regret it.

00:07:56.911 --> 00:08:06.473
They're like Simo, we shouldn't let you date yeah yeah, it was more just like strict about dating, I think it was more, just not losing track.

00:08:06.473 --> 00:08:12.189
Okay, you know my parents are physicians as well, and so I think they're like just do well, and then you know work hard now, have your fun later.

00:08:12.288 --> 00:08:14.663
Yeah, and now you are ready to have your fun.

00:08:14.663 --> 00:08:17.752
Woohoo, heck yeah, absolutely.

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.442
When was your last long-term relationship I would say it's actually been a few years.

00:08:22.442 --> 00:08:27.750
I mean, I dated here and there, but a long-term relationship it's been a few years have you been married before?

00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:29.312
No, are you looking to get married?

00:08:29.973 --> 00:08:30.454
Open to it.

00:08:30.454 --> 00:08:31.596
Open to it okay.

00:08:32.181 --> 00:08:32.890
You don't have to get married.

00:08:32.931 --> 00:08:33.398
But it's not necessary.

00:08:33.398 --> 00:08:35.365
Yeah, I'm not looking to have kids at this point.

00:08:35.706 --> 00:08:35.767
No.

00:08:35.787 --> 00:08:36.470
Like my own kids.

00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:49.943
You know whether someone has kids, that's biologically.

00:08:49.943 --> 00:08:50.687
Would you date a guy with young kids?

00:08:50.687 --> 00:08:51.509
I'm open to it, okay, if they are flexible.

00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:53.096
Meaning you know I understand kids are, you know, going to be the priority.

00:08:53.096 --> 00:08:55.226
I understand that and that might actually be to the advantage.

00:08:55.226 --> 00:08:59.323
Because I'm busy, I want my own life as well, so if they're busy with the kids, I'll do my thing.

00:08:59.323 --> 00:09:01.008
Yeah, it could work out.

00:09:01.207 --> 00:09:05.726
Yeah, so I'm not closed-minded about that so you made the comment that you get bored easily?

00:09:05.726 --> 00:09:06.048
I do.

00:09:06.048 --> 00:09:07.751
Do you think maybe you have a fear of?

00:09:07.812 --> 00:09:09.957
commitment or you know.

00:09:09.957 --> 00:09:10.639
I wondered that.

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.005
No, I don't think so, I I, yeah, I think.

00:09:14.005 --> 00:09:20.889
For me it's just, you know, I with what I do for a living life is short, so the same old, same old.

00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:22.133
You know, I get, I get it.

00:09:22.133 --> 00:09:26.893
Every relationship will have that static kind of feeling, but to me it's like let's keep it interesting.

00:09:26.893 --> 00:09:30.106
You know, I want to be dating someone for the rest of my life, you know.

00:09:30.106 --> 00:09:39.173
So I think that's what it is and I'm the kind of person who mentally always has to be stimulated, so I think a relationship has to be that way for me.

00:09:39.173 --> 00:09:40.903
Yeah, are you on the dating apps?

00:09:41.385 --> 00:09:45.878
I was not anymore, because you had mentioned you went on a date and he was 40 minutes late.

00:09:46.359 --> 00:09:48.086
Oh yeah, that was my other disaster date.

00:09:48.086 --> 00:09:51.966
Yeah, so this guy basically showed up 40 minutes late.

00:09:51.966 --> 00:09:53.549
He smelled.

00:09:54.331 --> 00:09:54.471
Oh.

00:09:54.572 --> 00:09:57.946
Yeah, I mean it was, oh my gosh, he looked nothing like his picture.

00:09:57.946 --> 00:10:00.488
And the waitress and I got to know each other.

00:10:00.488 --> 00:10:07.264
We chatted and know each other.

00:10:07.264 --> 00:10:09.991
We chatted and she, like, was behind him and was like uh-uh, she was like go leave.

00:10:09.991 --> 00:10:11.155
So I basically took my phone out and pretended.

00:10:11.176 --> 00:10:12.078
I had a call for work and I just left.

00:10:12.078 --> 00:10:15.110
Didn't we have a guest on recently who also was on a date with a smelly?

00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:17.359
Guy yes what is up with hygiene?

00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:21.975
people take a shower at least put some deodorant on who goes on a date when you?

00:10:22.014 --> 00:10:22.857
sleep.

00:10:22.898 --> 00:10:23.922
I was just thinking, I was like am.

00:10:24.023 --> 00:10:25.921
I having deja vu, or am I remembering?

00:10:26.383 --> 00:10:27.645
what we talked about previously.

00:10:27.645 --> 00:10:29.630
No, I'm pretty sure we had someone else on.

00:10:29.650 --> 00:10:30.601
That was with a stinky guy.

00:10:30.642 --> 00:10:31.264
I mean, I get it.

00:10:31.264 --> 00:10:33.509
If you're coming from work, wipe something.

00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.505
Yeah, you know 40 minutes.

00:10:36.546 --> 00:10:38.211
Did he let you know he was gonna be late?

00:10:38.211 --> 00:10:38.974
No, no text.

00:10:38.974 --> 00:10:39.615
What was?

00:10:39.655 --> 00:10:43.328
his excuse that I actually stayed that long, but I started chatting with the waitress.

00:10:43.328 --> 00:10:46.419
Yeah, I mean, i'm'm one of those people like I like to talk to everybody, you know.

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:51.091
Well, and if you're somewhere, you might as well enjoy an appetizer or a drink or something.

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:57.245
I mean, I ended up just, you know, having a nice meal chatting with this lovely waitress, you know and became friends with her actually.

00:10:57.245 --> 00:11:02.284
Did he have an excuse, did he?

00:11:02.284 --> 00:11:05.567
Apologize, he was like no, yeah, heck, yeah, you're very late.

00:11:05.567 --> 00:11:06.889
And I I confronted him.

00:11:06.889 --> 00:11:08.731
I'm like, hey, you're very late.

00:11:08.731 --> 00:11:10.754
This is extremely obnoxious of you to do that.

00:11:10.754 --> 00:11:13.697
Oh well, I'm sorry, you know, yeah.

00:11:13.697 --> 00:11:20.309
And then he said were there any redeeming qualities?

00:11:20.370 --> 00:11:22.934
he was following me he's like can I call you again?

00:11:22.934 --> 00:11:26.400
And I'm like no wait, you want to go get another.

00:11:26.421 --> 00:11:31.852
Obviously he didn't get the hint, not the brightest what do you do in your free time?

00:11:31.852 --> 00:11:35.508
Tell us about you I'm very athletic, so I love to work out.

00:11:35.508 --> 00:11:36.770
I've been an athlete all my life.

00:11:36.770 --> 00:11:41.269
So since I was young I played sports lacrosse, field hockey, basketball, you name it.

00:11:41.269 --> 00:11:46.270
And then when I got to college I did the jane fonda workouts, you know the step aerobics and stuff like that.

00:11:46.270 --> 00:11:51.888
And then, you know, at 45, orange Theory became the thing, and then now I'm into weightlifting.

00:11:51.888 --> 00:11:53.173
So that's just my passion.

00:11:53.173 --> 00:11:54.096
I love doing it.

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.844
And you recently were featured in a local magazine.

00:11:56.844 --> 00:11:58.447
Is that right?

00:11:59.008 --> 00:11:59.609
Which one?

00:11:59.609 --> 00:12:01.851
I'm not sure, it all depends.

00:12:01.851 --> 00:12:03.173
It all depends.

00:12:03.173 --> 00:12:08.421
Yeah, which one For fitness?

00:12:08.421 --> 00:12:08.984
Yeah, which one for fitness?

00:12:08.984 --> 00:12:09.687
Was there something about fitness?

00:12:09.687 --> 00:12:10.650
Yes, okay, yeah, there was 40 women over 40.

00:12:10.650 --> 00:12:11.715
Okay, I don't think I mentioned that did you find it?

00:12:11.735 --> 00:12:20.393
our mutual friend told me oh our mutual friend told me and I forgot to ask you about it when we I have not okay.

00:12:20.432 --> 00:12:28.908
No, no, no, no, no, no I you know, again, I'm very camera shy and know I don't love to get my picture taken, but I thought you know at this point in my life to do what's scary.

00:12:28.908 --> 00:12:30.152
You know, do something for yourself.

00:12:30.152 --> 00:12:39.741
And you know I am into the fitness obviously, and I was in a phase where I was kind of leaning out, looked I thought very, very good and I wanted to capture that.

00:12:39.741 --> 00:12:42.908
Yeah, I was going to ask has it come out yet.

00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:43.589
It is out.

00:12:43.589 --> 00:12:45.131
Yeah, I have the pictures.

00:12:45.131 --> 00:12:45.972
Oh, do you have?

00:12:45.993 --> 00:12:47.034
you gotten any feedback?

00:12:47.075 --> 00:12:48.798
I was wondering if you have, everyone loves them.

00:12:48.798 --> 00:12:49.639
I mean, it's so sweet.

00:12:50.283 --> 00:12:52.720
Or if you've had any guys reach out to you that are like oh, look at you.

00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:56.562
I haven't posted it on social media yet, so I haven't done that you should.

00:12:57.123 --> 00:13:01.710
I think I should Put yourself one more way to put yourself out there.

00:13:01.710 --> 00:13:05.755
Absolutely, but I have shown a lot of people and everyone's given me fabulous feedback.

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:21.243
I mean, there were a few where I had a health scare and we wanted to feature the cancer aspect of it, and so I have one where I'm not wearing anything and I'm covered, and it just turned out to be the most classy, beautiful picture.

00:13:21.243 --> 00:13:29.145
I was shy about doing it, didn't want to do it, but it turned out amazing, so, yeah, and now describe your ideal partner.

00:13:29.826 --> 00:13:46.485
Ooh, I, for me, I would want someone who's emotionally intelligent, like meaning who's done the work, both inside and out, um, someone who's either done the therapy, read the books, you know, just figured himself out, knows what he wants, is passionate about something, um, and is happy.

00:13:46.485 --> 00:13:56.322
Happy, and what I mean by happy is meaning do they love what they do, are they happy with how much money they're making I don't care what that is, but are they happy with that and are they living a happy life?

00:13:56.823 --> 00:14:14.951
And to me that would be lovely to have to see that in someone, and then someone who's done the work on the outside too, like someone who also likes to be in a workout and take self-care, someone who gets massages or saunas anything that they enjoy that makes them feel and look better.

00:14:14.951 --> 00:14:16.927
To me that's so important.

00:14:16.927 --> 00:14:21.865
I'm someone who's very much into nutrition and working out, so that's important to me.

00:14:21.865 --> 00:14:22.768
I log my food.

00:14:22.768 --> 00:14:24.686
I monitor what I eat.

00:14:24.686 --> 00:14:25.721
I still like to have fun.

00:14:25.721 --> 00:14:26.403
Do you cook?

00:14:26.403 --> 00:14:26.904
I?

00:14:26.945 --> 00:14:28.350
do, yeah, yes, yeah.

00:14:28.350 --> 00:14:30.135
What's your favorite thing to cook?

00:14:30.517 --> 00:14:40.815
it depends I mean depends on my mood you know, so I love sushi, you know, but that's not easy to make yeah, so I go out for that more often but I think at home it's just, really just healthy food.

00:14:40.815 --> 00:14:49.408
You know um anything that's nutritious and you know, and I try to make it fun and make it taste good so it's not boring like chicken and broccoli kind of right.

00:14:49.447 --> 00:14:59.581
You know what are your deal breakers in a man, oh yeah, um, I don't like people who are into smoking, like smoking drugs, that kind of stuff I mean.

00:14:59.581 --> 00:15:02.386
To me that's a numbing thing and escape.

00:15:02.386 --> 00:15:04.571
Sure, people can have fun.

00:15:04.571 --> 00:15:10.652
I'm not like a prude here, but at the same time that also makes me feel like they're not valuing their health.

00:15:10.652 --> 00:15:12.105
So that's a deal breaker for me.

00:15:12.105 --> 00:15:17.671
For sure, I think, someone who's jealous, angry, unhappy.

00:15:17.691 --> 00:15:18.211
Such a turnoff.

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:29.789
You know, yeah, to me joy and happiness is huge, and if you have the complete opposite nagging judgment you know I don't like judgmental people, people who are constantly.

00:15:29.789 --> 00:15:33.042
You can have opinions and be passionate about your beliefs.

00:15:33.042 --> 00:15:36.049
I respect that, but then don't judge other people about it.

00:15:36.129 --> 00:15:52.789
You know, respect them I think people who are just generally pessimistic or negative negative who always see the negative yes, and things or they hear something and they automatically assume the worst or automatically go to a negative thought.

00:15:52.789 --> 00:15:58.370
I find, I find, I don't get along well with people that are always negative.

00:15:58.451 --> 00:16:00.498
I just at this point again life is short.

00:16:00.498 --> 00:16:05.231
I want to surround myself with happy, good energy you know, so yeah, I'm with you.

00:16:06.061 --> 00:16:07.520
And now, what about physical what's?

00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:08.645
Your physical type.

00:16:09.701 --> 00:16:12.727
I think fit you know someone who's who takes care of herself.

00:16:12.748 --> 00:16:12.868
How?

00:16:12.888 --> 00:16:13.208
tall are you?

00:16:13.208 --> 00:16:18.484
I'm five, seven, okay, yeah, I do like tall, just, but again, not a deal breaker.

00:16:18.484 --> 00:16:21.649
Uh, you know, cause that's the superficial, that's I.

00:16:21.649 --> 00:16:26.735
I don't think I want to hold on to that, but I do like a man, someone who just feels big.

00:16:26.735 --> 00:16:31.770
I like someone who's a little edgier, who's a little rough.

00:16:31.770 --> 00:16:35.344
My dream celebrity is Tom Hardy.

00:16:35.344 --> 00:16:36.447
Is that his name?

00:16:36.628 --> 00:16:37.792
Oh, yeah, yeah, Tom Hardy yeah.

00:16:38.125 --> 00:16:39.210
I hope I didn't get that wrong.

00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:39.753
I don't know.

00:16:39.753 --> 00:16:42.754
He seems nice, nice guy, he loves animals.

00:16:42.754 --> 00:16:44.629
He just seems kind.

00:16:44.629 --> 00:16:50.568
He's fit, edgy looking, you know, not like the typical beautiful man, but you know to me.

00:16:50.568 --> 00:16:51.169
I love that.

00:16:51.331 --> 00:16:52.394
A little rough around the edges.

00:16:52.413 --> 00:16:53.777
Yeah, exactly, exactly.

00:16:55.538 --> 00:16:56.658
Now, why didn we talk about that?

00:16:57.739 --> 00:16:59.960
the the last long, yeah, your last long-term relationship.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.440
What happened there?

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.120
If you don't mind us asking no I don't mind um.

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:08.202
He became like a brother oh, that's the worst, yeah, when you really care about them and you love them.

00:17:08.242 --> 00:17:11.046
I love him, I still love him I still think about him all the time.

00:17:11.046 --> 00:17:17.246
I I mean, he was such a lovely person um, but he was just like my pale you know, which is great.

00:17:17.246 --> 00:17:20.758
You want to be best friends with who you're with, but there's still.

00:17:20.798 --> 00:17:23.291
I was just going to say, yeah, there still has to be the spark.

00:17:23.484 --> 00:17:24.790
There still has to be the chemistry.

00:17:24.790 --> 00:17:26.488
You have to want to be intimate with them.

00:17:26.488 --> 00:17:27.671
Exactly, exactly.

00:17:27.830 --> 00:17:28.874
Was he devastated?

00:17:28.874 --> 00:17:30.877
Um no, I think he.

00:17:30.877 --> 00:17:31.606
We both knew.

00:17:31.606 --> 00:17:32.551
I dated him for 10 years.

00:17:32.551 --> 00:17:43.359
So, yeah, I'm very loyal, knew kind of almost halfway through that this wasn't going to work, but I thought maybe this is how it's supposed to be and maybe it was just like a lull.

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:50.856
Yeah, exactly, maybe this will get better, you know but, it didn't yeah and then we both mutually broke up yeah, yeah.

00:17:50.916 --> 00:17:53.394
Do you have any crazy unique talents that not many people know?

00:17:53.394 --> 00:17:56.807
Oh, wow, or unique facts about yourself that you don't tell too many?

00:17:57.367 --> 00:18:02.096
oh, I always have a lot of secrets, but let's see I'm trying to think of something quirky that I do.

00:18:02.096 --> 00:18:04.710
Oh my gosh, can you sing or dance?

00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:10.409
No, oh, I can dance, but I can't sing worth anything, so no, that's not a.

00:18:10.409 --> 00:18:11.613
I wouldn't say that's a talent.

00:18:11.613 --> 00:18:13.766
Oh my God, I can do handstands.

00:18:14.027 --> 00:18:15.088
Can you really, I can walk.

00:18:15.128 --> 00:18:15.769
Really yeah.

00:18:15.769 --> 00:18:16.951
So I don't know.

00:18:16.991 --> 00:18:19.556
That's kind of hard, that is hard.

00:18:19.655 --> 00:18:21.798
Strong, a lot of work.

00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:22.559
A lot of practice.

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.236
I can do wall handstands.

00:18:24.236 --> 00:18:27.933
Yeah, and I can do a regular handstand for like three seconds Maybe.

00:18:30.846 --> 00:18:32.973
So for me it's just like anything athletic.

00:18:33.705 --> 00:18:35.471
I you know, I will challenge myself.

00:18:35.671 --> 00:18:37.296
You know pull-ups, I love those.

00:18:37.296 --> 00:18:38.747
You know those kind of things you must.

00:18:38.747 --> 00:18:51.171
That takes discipline, I feel yeah, yeah, I think anyone who looks fit it just shows that they have discipline right, it's true and that's the reason why I like fit people is because they have that discipline yeah, yeah, that is very true.

00:18:51.191 --> 00:18:57.634
It's not like the kids in kindergarten cop, you lack discipline yeah, exactly for me.

00:18:57.653 --> 00:18:59.578
It's like on my schedule, like I already.

00:18:59.578 --> 00:19:01.262
I know that's what I'm gonna do.

00:19:01.262 --> 00:19:02.346
It's a non-negotiable yeah.

00:19:02.346 --> 00:19:03.970
So yeah, I just don't make excuses.

00:19:04.131 --> 00:19:12.491
I think anybody who truly is in to the fitness lifestyle or lives a fit lifestyle is that way.

00:19:12.491 --> 00:19:23.169
Yeah, um, because I've dated guys too who are like oh yeah, I go to the gym, I go to the gym every day, and then we start to hang out a little bit more and then it's like oh, so how was your workout this morning?

00:19:23.169 --> 00:19:26.718
Oh, I didn't go and it was like wait right what do you?

00:19:26.904 --> 00:19:30.834
mean because at the beginning of this you told me that you work out every day.

00:19:30.834 --> 00:19:45.538
So you don't work out every day and it's fine to skip a day here or there but, I find that a lot of times, people you know they project what they want to be not what they think you want or what they think you want them to be.

00:19:45.925 --> 00:19:46.386
Yes, yes.

00:19:46.428 --> 00:19:48.253
Not necessarily what they truly are.

00:19:48.484 --> 00:19:49.830
Yeah, I'm a big believer in action.

00:19:49.830 --> 00:19:54.833
Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah, but there's a fine line.

00:19:54.833 --> 00:19:57.150
I mean you don't need to be obsessive about it either.

00:19:57.170 --> 00:19:57.671
Like.

00:19:57.750 --> 00:19:59.473
I do, you know, have the ice cream.

00:19:59.473 --> 00:20:02.887
You know the ice cream, you know, have fun you know and skip that occasional workout?

00:20:02.887 --> 00:20:09.073
Yes, don't be so rigid yeah, there are some fitness people I've met who are oh, for sure, for sure, yeah, yeah.

00:20:09.273 --> 00:20:10.336
Are you ready for it?

00:20:10.336 --> 00:20:11.361
I'm ready for it.

00:20:11.361 --> 00:20:16.213
The keep more minute brought to you by tactical tax strategies they help you keep more in your wallet.

00:20:16.213 --> 00:20:18.488
We help you keep more in your relationship.

00:20:18.488 --> 00:20:20.451
So we have listener question.

00:20:20.451 --> 00:20:23.986
Okay, that we will talk about this.

00:20:23.986 --> 00:20:25.348
One comes from amy.

00:20:25.348 --> 00:20:34.494
She says um, I've been seeing a guy who's basically allergic to commitment, but the sexual chemistry is insane the best I've ever had.

00:20:34.494 --> 00:20:35.336
I'm addicted.

00:20:35.336 --> 00:20:40.778
Am I wasting my time or riding it out literally until someone better comes along?

00:20:42.182 --> 00:20:43.386
that could turn into something more.

00:20:43.386 --> 00:20:47.105
I've known people that they're dating guys that don't want anything serious.

00:20:47.105 --> 00:20:54.934
They they're scared of commitment, but they end up falling in love and they end up staying together right well, it also depends what she wants.

00:20:55.015 --> 00:21:00.196
I mean, if she's just in it for the sexual part and enjoying and having fun, why not?

00:21:00.317 --> 00:21:05.634
but if she's looking for to get married in the next year, exactly how long did you say they were together?

00:21:06.015 --> 00:21:17.730
I don't think it's yeah I mean, if she's been with this guy for a while, like a years, and he still hasn't committed, and that's what she wants, then that's a problem that's true, because you don't want to waste your time, you don't want to be waiting for like 10 years and then he still doesn't want to commit.

00:21:17.730 --> 00:21:20.276
I mean, she's obviously asking, which means she's unhappy.

00:21:20.596 --> 00:21:24.653
Yes, yeah, yeah it just says I've been seeing, so who knows?

00:21:24.773 --> 00:21:25.703
how long it is Right.

00:21:26.045 --> 00:21:30.204
But I think she needs to figure out, like, truly, what is it she wants out of the relationship?

00:21:30.204 --> 00:21:36.479
Because if she wants commitment, she might not get that Exactly.

00:21:36.684 --> 00:21:47.934
So it's like she needs to have a chat with him and then if he still says, no, I'm not ready, she needs to leave, and maybe then he'll be like, oh shoot sometimes guys do wake up and they're like oh crap, yeah, better, I better give her what she wants, because I want her.

00:21:47.954 --> 00:22:11.632
But I think she also has to figure out what she wants too, because if she truly sometimes that happens, I feel like we think we want the commitment and then when the commitment happens right, that's when it it doesn't work anymore, and so I think she first needs to figure out what exactly she wants, have a conversation with him and then 100 go from there agreed.

00:22:11.873 --> 00:22:13.980
So we're going to chat sorry chat about an article.

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:18.352
Okay, dating advice from the 1930s that might not be appreciated today.

00:22:18.352 --> 00:22:20.757
Some of them, I think, still ring true.

00:22:20.757 --> 00:22:22.126
So the first one is don't get drunk.

00:22:22.126 --> 00:22:26.557
A 1938 article warned women that getting boozed up on a date was a big no-no.

00:22:26.557 --> 00:22:30.957
Not only will they appear silly rather than clever, but they'll also embarrass their date.

00:22:30.957 --> 00:22:33.250
The last straw is to pass out from too much liquor.

00:22:33.250 --> 00:22:35.625
Chances are your date will never want to call you again.

00:22:36.007 --> 00:22:50.712
Oh gosh isn't it funny that it's that in the 30s it was like the woman don't get drunk Right exactly Because, for me, it's unattractive when the man I'm with gets too drunk on the first date and it's like you're going to embarrass him.

00:22:51.566 --> 00:22:53.471
Yeah, I don't think it's even about that.

00:22:53.512 --> 00:22:54.414
I mean, it's for you.

00:22:54.414 --> 00:23:06.828
You want to have the wherewithal to be there and be present In the world we live in, yeah, now for sure, for sure I could care less what he I mean, you know, it's not about him, it's about myself, exactly.

00:23:06.828 --> 00:23:10.145
But I think that one still rings I agree, though I mean don't get drunk on a date.

00:23:10.185 --> 00:23:23.148
Yes, yes, either way, man the way it's written in the 30s is interesting versus how it would be written today, absolutely, but I agree, if you're a man or a woman, don't get drunk on a first date, have your mom send you flowers.

00:23:23.328 --> 00:23:28.490
Another article from the 30s talks about the importance of cultivating an image of popularity.

00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:35.453
To get dates, it advises, during your first term, get home talent to ply you with letters, telegrams and invitations.

00:23:35.453 --> 00:23:40.310
College men will think, oh, she must be attractive if she can rate all that attention.

00:23:40.310 --> 00:23:50.893
The article further suggests to have your mom send you flowers to impress men and to shut the lights in your dorm room at night so no one will think you're home if you don't have a date.

00:23:51.595 --> 00:23:53.718
Oh wow, isn't that hilarious.

00:23:53.718 --> 00:23:55.871
That's hilarious, all right, no, I'm not down with that.

00:23:57.349 --> 00:23:57.853
How exhausting.

00:23:57.853 --> 00:23:59.300
No, that's expensive.

00:24:00.429 --> 00:24:02.255
Plus, I'm not a fan of fake.

00:24:02.255 --> 00:24:04.064
It's so inauthentic.

00:24:04.246 --> 00:24:14.711
You've got to be authentic, be yourself but do you remember the movie Clueless I watched that recently and she sends herself flowers oh yeah, she does, it's a class.

00:24:14.750 --> 00:24:15.272
It's a class.

00:24:15.272 --> 00:24:16.949
Yes, I don't know.

00:24:16.969 --> 00:24:30.364
There's some sadness and I guess Glenda in Wicked, the show Wicked, I guess she does that yeah, I mean, you can send flowers to yourself for fun, I mean if you enjoy it, if you want that, but not to impress the guy or think that you're so popular, and that's the thing.

00:24:30.806 --> 00:24:37.390
I buy flowers at the grocery store every week, but nobody sees them, except for me.

00:24:47.404 --> 00:24:48.769
You shouldn't do anything for anyone else to just to have this image.

00:24:48.769 --> 00:24:49.313
You know, I just I disagree.

00:24:49.313 --> 00:24:49.875
Stay, mom, on the dance floor.

00:24:49.875 --> 00:24:55.071
Another word of advice from the 30s was to avoid boring your date with talk about clothes and to flatter your date by talking about the things that he wants to talk about.

00:24:55.071 --> 00:25:02.508
It also recommends acting interested in anything that he says in a book how to, how to Win and Hold a Husband, dorothy Dix.

00:25:02.508 --> 00:25:06.970
Dorothy Dix puts it more bluntly Don't talk too much.

00:25:06.970 --> 00:25:09.614
Above all, don't talk about yourself ever.

00:25:09.614 --> 00:25:12.012
Men have a horror of girls who babble on.

00:25:12.012 --> 00:25:16.294
Men like to talk about themselves, and what they want is an intelligent listener.

00:25:16.294 --> 00:25:30.635
According to this article, you should keep those lips sealed, even on the dance floor, because when a man dances, he wants to dance, so no chatter whilst doing the cha-cha oh wow, isn't that crazy that's awful, that's funny.

00:25:30.715 --> 00:25:42.000
It's sad that women had to right, you know, listen to this advice in those days if they wanted to win themselves a husband oh, no, no, I mean no then there's no crying in baseball or dating.

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:51.313
This same article recommends you don't turn on the tears in a man's company, because men should not have their emotions worked on and men don't like tears, especially in public places.

00:25:51.313 --> 00:25:52.576
Dorothy states.

00:25:52.576 --> 00:25:54.467
Men do not like sentimental women.

00:25:55.189 --> 00:25:59.374
Oh, that's funny I mean I, maybe on the first day you don't want to be bawling, no, yeah, yeah.

00:25:59.374 --> 00:26:00.785
Yeah, I mean I get that that's a little weird, but you know, but date you don't want to be bawling.

00:26:00.732 --> 00:26:01.076
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:01.076 --> 00:26:02.619
I mean, I get that, that's a little weird, but you know.

00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:06.875
But if you can't cry in front of the guy that you're dating, then it's a problem, exactly.

00:26:06.895 --> 00:26:07.277
Right.

00:26:08.348 --> 00:26:12.845
But I think you should wait before you get super emotional, maybe until the third date.

00:26:14.028 --> 00:26:14.651
Yeah, exactly.

00:26:14.651 --> 00:26:16.788
Let's not be dramatic in the beginning.

00:26:16.788 --> 00:26:17.608
The third day rule.

00:26:19.231 --> 00:26:20.453
Chewing gum is a turn off.

00:26:20.453 --> 00:26:23.038
Stick to mints and not gum if you want to keep your man happy.

00:26:23.038 --> 00:26:25.734
According to the 30s, chewing gum was not advised.

00:26:25.734 --> 00:26:29.730
However, if you must, it was advisable to do so with your mouth shut.

00:26:31.114 --> 00:26:32.657
So don't chew it, just have it in your mouth.

00:26:32.657 --> 00:26:36.307
So many rules I know, but I agree.

00:26:36.307 --> 00:26:39.852
I mean it is a little rude to be smacking on gum, it is kind of true.

00:26:39.872 --> 00:26:43.875
Yeah, never, ever, touch up your makeup in his rearview mirror.

00:26:43.875 --> 00:26:54.247
The article suggests to dress in your boudoir to keep your allure and that includes makeup too and don't even think about touching up your lipstick in front of him or blotting your lips with his hanky.

00:26:54.247 --> 00:26:55.028
Okay, that's kind of weird.

00:26:55.028 --> 00:27:02.673
Oh, and never use the car's rearview mirror to check your makeup, because men need it to drive and it annoys them very much when they have to run around to see what's behind.

00:27:02.673 --> 00:27:03.954
Turn it around to see what's behind.

00:27:04.036 --> 00:27:04.395
I don't know.

00:27:04.395 --> 00:27:08.920
I've had guys tell me it's sexy when they see a girl putting on lipstick or something like that.

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:15.931
Yeah Well anything that draws attention to the lips, exactly.

00:27:16.551 --> 00:27:18.977
Waiting isn't a virtue when it comes to dating.

00:27:18.977 --> 00:27:35.316
Don't keep him waiting, greet him with a smile, but according to the article, you don't want to be so hasty that you forget to wear a brassiere okay, I might actually agree with that I didn't like it if you forgot to wear a brassiere, oh my gosh.

00:27:35.336 --> 00:27:40.112
Well, and it's funny because, like we were just talking about how late the guy was to your date.

00:27:40.152 --> 00:27:40.913
Don't keep him waiting.

00:27:40.913 --> 00:27:43.178
So don't keep him waiting.

00:27:43.178 --> 00:27:43.898
I agree with that one.

00:27:44.164 --> 00:27:49.097
But men also the ones that still ring true now go both ways.

00:27:49.097 --> 00:27:55.796
Because, it's like you know we shouldn't be keeping men waiting, but men also shouldn't be keeping us waiting either.

00:27:56.065 --> 00:28:01.037
But I bet back in those days it's acceptable for him to keep you waiting because he's got to work.

00:28:01.037 --> 00:28:02.190
He's working hard.

00:28:02.404 --> 00:28:03.650
You know they would justify it.

00:28:03.650 --> 00:28:04.392
It's true.

00:28:05.944 --> 00:28:06.667
Don't overdress.

00:28:06.667 --> 00:28:08.934
To impress, Don't overdo it.

00:28:08.934 --> 00:28:10.592
Another book from the 30 states.

00:28:10.592 --> 00:28:15.034
She scares him off when she decks herself out in what looks like a million dollars worth of finery.

00:28:15.034 --> 00:28:22.750
In other words, he'll think he can't afford to date you if you're too dressed up he can't afford to date you if you're too dressed up.

00:28:22.729 --> 00:28:23.182
Yeah, well, weed them out, right?

00:28:23.182 --> 00:28:24.164
Yeah, there you go, if you feel like it go for it.

00:28:24.144 --> 00:28:34.280
But yeah, I mean you don't want to be in a ballroom gown put down the phone in dorothy's book.

00:28:34.340 --> 00:28:36.505
She's adamant that gal's trying to snag a guy.

00:28:36.505 --> 00:28:37.747
Stay away from the telephone.

00:28:37.747 --> 00:28:41.352
Don't call a boy up over the telephone during business hours hours.

00:28:41.352 --> 00:28:44.317
He will hate you for it because you are jeopardizing his job.

00:28:44.317 --> 00:28:49.613
There is a no surer way for a girl to make herself unpopular with men than to be a telephone hound.

00:28:49.613 --> 00:28:52.888
Oh geez, is that kind of similar to now constant texting?

00:28:52.909 --> 00:28:56.006
I was gonna say yeah if you're constantly calling him, that is kind of annoying.

00:28:56.006 --> 00:28:56.547
I agree with that.

00:28:56.547 --> 00:28:57.971
You don't want to be constantly doing it.

00:28:57.971 --> 00:29:01.077
I would reach out to a guy, why not?

00:29:02.165 --> 00:29:03.068
This one cracks me up.

00:29:03.068 --> 00:29:04.967
Take a trip abroad, it was advised.

00:29:04.967 --> 00:29:09.971
If you're the old maid left on the shelf, take a trip overseas Before succumbing to the inevitable.

00:29:09.971 --> 00:29:13.511
She might give herself one more chance by making a change in her environment.

00:29:13.511 --> 00:29:17.567
Many a girl who's a social failure at home is a success abroad.

00:29:17.567 --> 00:29:28.797
Many a girl whom the boys on main street couldn't see becomes one whom strange men behold with admiration I mean, I don't disagree with traveling why not?

00:29:28.836 --> 00:29:32.452
but I don't agree with the reasoning behind it.

00:29:32.493 --> 00:29:34.980
It's strange in the olden days.

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:36.423
What was it like 30?

00:29:36.423 --> 00:29:38.728
Then you're the old maid left on the shelf because they got married.

00:29:38.788 --> 00:29:41.192
So my grandma was like 16 when she got married.

00:29:41.212 --> 00:29:46.086
Yeah, I know, that's so funny a couple more over 30, take matters into your own hands.

00:29:46.086 --> 00:29:52.510
Basically, they say hey, if you're too old, go out and get them, be the aggressor and then play a good game of bridge.

00:29:52.510 --> 00:29:55.017
According to dorothy's dating tips, you shouldn't go out.

00:29:55.017 --> 00:29:58.310
Sorry, you shouldn't count on getting by with just a pretty face.

00:29:58.310 --> 00:30:01.577
You better have a bag of tricks to entertain your guy and keep him interested.

00:30:01.577 --> 00:30:07.955
She has to know how to be entertaining and amusing, how to dance and play a good game of bridge, how to fit in any company.

00:30:07.955 --> 00:30:18.509
Only senile grandpas fall for beautiful but not dumb, and venus herself would be a wallflower if she had to be towed around a ballroom floor or trumped her partner's ace right star thing that's funny.

00:30:18.529 --> 00:30:19.530
Do you guys know how to play bridge?

00:30:19.751 --> 00:30:20.673
no, I actually don't.

00:30:20.673 --> 00:30:23.616
You don't know bridge is fun yeah

00:30:23.896 --> 00:30:26.440
but I always thought it was a woman's game traditionally.

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.394
I didn't know, maybe back in the day, back in the day, maybe?

00:30:29.413 --> 00:30:31.480
yeah too, but that's funny.

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:36.881
Here I feel like it's all about the men and pleasing the man, exactly how the men feel, what the men want, right?

00:30:36.881 --> 00:30:37.703
No, miserable.00:30:37.763 --> 00:30:46.353


But I think, like you said before, that was also the day where the man was the one that was working the man was the one that was financially the provider.00:30:46.594 --> 00:31:01.116


The women didn't work, they stayed home, right, and so it's that very different roles, for sure, yeah, the times were different if you look at like all the romantic songs in the olden days, it's like I want to marry you if love was made for me and you.00:31:01.116 --> 00:31:11.596


And now you listen to the songs and it's like I want to spit, I want to gulp, I want to gag, I want to choke and you know drop it, drop it on a b-i-t-c-h right, you know it was so open.00:31:12.065 --> 00:31:13.707


Yeah, well, there should be something in the middle there I know we.00:31:13.707 --> 00:31:14.707


It was so Busted open, I got right.00:31:14.707 --> 00:31:18.990


Yeah Well, there should be something in the middle there, I know.00:31:19.211 --> 00:31:23.555


We've come so far, to the extreme, I think since the 30s.00:31:23.615 --> 00:31:33.748


Isn't it kind of creepy how a lot of the songs are males singing back in those old days and they're singing about like 16-year-olds I know Isn't that kind of, but I mean women did get married at 16.00:31:33.748 --> 00:31:39.038


They were giving birth at 16, but it's kind of now, it's kind of creepy right, yeah, exactly, yeah, oh, I know Now, times have changed.00:31:39.057 --> 00:31:39.980


Times definitely have changed.00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:42.612


I'm curious to see 20 years from now what it'll be like.00:31:42.612 --> 00:31:43.875


Why that's a good point.00:31:43.915 --> 00:31:44.257


Yeah.00:31:44.257 --> 00:31:49.810


So now it's time for the celebrity cut where we marinate in the juices of the celebrities.00:31:49.810 --> 00:31:54.977


Beckham drama with his wife Nicola Peltz sort of.00:31:55.817 --> 00:31:56.558


I don't know the details.00:31:56.578 --> 00:32:01.271


They're estranged yes, he, I guess David Beckham, it's Sir David Beckham now.00:32:01.271 --> 00:32:06.330


He was recently knighted and Brooklyn Beckham didn't, you know, do a post or congratulate him.00:32:06.330 --> 00:32:08.496


He didn't go to his 50th birthday party.00:32:08.496 --> 00:32:10.289


So they're like very estranged.00:32:10.590 --> 00:32:15.431


And initially it came out that there was some drama between her not wearing Victoria Beckham's wedding dress that she designed.00:32:15.431 --> 00:32:16.233


Did you hear about that?00:32:16.233 --> 00:32:25.920


Oh, no, so Victoria's camp they claimed that it was Nicola because she, at the last minute, decided not to wear Victoria Beckham's dress and changed to a different designer.00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.951


But it's come out now have you heard this?00:32:27.951 --> 00:32:35.659


That the real reason is because on their wedding day, you know how the bride and groom have their first dance.00:32:35.659 --> 00:32:40.534


So Mark Anthony gifted them a performance on their wedding day for free.00:32:40.534 --> 00:32:44.148


He was gonna sing and perform at their wedding with them.00:32:44.148 --> 00:32:51.374


Before the first dance, he gets up there and he says, okay, now we're gonna welcome the most beautiful woman in the room, victoria beckham.00:32:51.374 --> 00:32:54.346


And then she gets up and does the first dance.00:32:54.346 --> 00:32:57.556


The mother, mother, son dance before the first dance.00:32:57.556 --> 00:33:03.978


So that, apparently, is why they and I can understand that it's the bride's day it's the bride's day.00:33:04.085 --> 00:33:05.208


It's all about her.00:33:05.208 --> 00:33:06.872


Yes, like that's bad.00:33:06.872 --> 00:33:12.170


So now I'm like I love the beckhams, but I'm like sure if that's true, I'm team nicola yeah, I agree.00:33:12.170 --> 00:33:15.115


Oh, that's too bad, and especially not to talk about it.00:33:15.115 --> 00:33:18.430


If you're gonna to do that, make sure it's okay with the bride and the groom.00:33:18.570 --> 00:33:24.135


And I'm sure she would have been like that's fine you know do you feel like she did it because of the wedding dress thing.00:33:24.135 --> 00:33:27.053


Was it a petty tit for tat?00:33:27.053 --> 00:33:37.096


Oh, I wonder if it was a last minute thing where she, because she was a singer right, she was in Spice Girls and so I bet she has, would we say she's a singer.00:33:37.116 --> 00:33:38.219


She was in a group, yeah.00:33:41.724 --> 00:33:52.272


But I'm sure she has some sort of a connection to Marc Anthony where she could have gotten in touch with him or whatever, and so was it a last minute plan change of plans when she felt burned by the dress.00:33:52.724 --> 00:34:02.545


But then her Nicola's camp is saying that she wanted to wear the dress but they couldn't make the alterations in time or it was something about the deadline that it just it wasn't working for that dress to be worn by her.00:34:02.565 --> 00:34:04.492


That was the statement that they put out to the public.00:34:05.729 --> 00:34:08.190


Who knows, this is just so petty.00:34:08.585 --> 00:34:09.085


I mean to me.00:34:09.085 --> 00:34:10.507


I just think this is your family.00:34:10.847 --> 00:34:11.288


That's how I am.00:34:11.288 --> 00:34:11.527


Who cares?00:34:11.547 --> 00:34:12.369


what dress you wear.00:34:12.369 --> 00:34:13.990


I mean you wear a bag for all I care.00:34:14.010 --> 00:34:14.550


Right, you know what I mean.00:34:14.570 --> 00:34:15.172


Seriously.00:34:15.172 --> 00:34:18.496


It should be about the bride and the groom and your kids.00:34:18.695 --> 00:34:20.097


And then to steal that moment.00:34:20.097 --> 00:34:20.878


I know.00:34:20.878 --> 00:34:24.222


Exactly that is bad, yeah, but I'm with you, family's so strong.00:34:31.711 --> 00:34:36.797


And it is petty tit for tat kind of thing At the end of the and it's huge because they're typically a very close family.00:34:36.836 --> 00:34:38.978


So that's why I think people are pegging it on Nicola.00:34:38.978 --> 00:34:42.702


Oh, she's the bad influence, she's the reason for this, but we don't know yeah.00:34:43.266 --> 00:35:00.003


Well, in Victoria there's this video that's really funny because she's talking about her childhood and it in her home, I think, and she's talking about how she had humble beginnings and how her family was this.00:35:00.003 --> 00:35:03.994


You know they were, they did okay, but they weren't this like well-to-do family.00:35:03.994 --> 00:35:10.983


And then David sticks his head out of the corner and he's like stop lying, tell them what your father drove when you were a child.00:35:10.983 --> 00:35:16.425


And she was like, well, I mean, he drove a Rolls Royce, but like that doesn't matter, or it.00:35:16.465 --> 00:35:22.367


And she was like well, I mean, he drove a Rolls Royce, but like that doesn't matter, or it was something crazy like that where she was trying to be relatable yeah, see that on the camera, but then you're not authentic.00:35:22.367 --> 00:35:24.318


But then you're exactly you're not authentic.00:35:24.358 --> 00:35:39.353


So I can sort of believe that Victoria did the wedding thing to be petty and to be spiteful because I've seen a couple of other videos and things of her where it's like she's not necessarily a genuine person.00:35:39.815 --> 00:35:50.208


That's too bad it seems did you see that Ali G interview back in the day where he was interviewing Posh and Becks, and he said oh yeah, does your son want to be a famous footballer like your dad?00:35:50.208 --> 00:35:53.474


Ah, does your daughter want to be a famous singer like Madonna, like.00:35:53.514 --> 00:35:55.539


Mariah Carey yeah, yeah, yeah, mariah.00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:55.958


Carey.00:35:57.067 --> 00:35:57.891


That made me laugh.00:35:59.286 --> 00:36:00.853


So what's your favorite place to go on a first date?00:36:01.625 --> 00:36:05.576


Ooh, for me, you know, the whole restaurant thing is just, it's old.00:36:05.576 --> 00:36:14.371


You know, for me, let's do something different, something fun, you know, like, whether it's outdoors, maybe go do a workout, or yeah, that would be fun.00:36:14.371 --> 00:36:19.577


I actually did that with a girlfriend, a girl date, so we went and worked out and then we grabbed something to eat afterwards.00:36:19.936 --> 00:36:20.938


I think that is a good workout.00:36:20.938 --> 00:36:21.559


Do you do yoga?00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:22.018


I do.00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:48.735


I feel like yoga is a good day, absolutely no-transcript, because how do you spend time together while working out me?00:36:48.896 --> 00:36:50.141


yeah, well, we could do.00:36:50.141 --> 00:36:52.246


It depends, I mean, what he's into, you know.00:36:52.246 --> 00:36:53.289


Um, maybe the first.00:36:53.289 --> 00:36:54.550


Like the class itself.00:36:54.550 --> 00:37:09.715


You're just kind of doing things on your own, like in a class, or if you're at the gym, you could talk and work out with weights and then meet up afterwards and hang out because then you've shared that together, that event well, and there are workouts like if you're talking like orange theory, or berries or00:37:09.755 --> 00:37:15.815


something like that, where you're able to choose where you are in the room or talk to each other while you you're working out.00:37:15.876 --> 00:37:28.856


Yes, so like my sister and I will go to Barry's and then we'll make sure that we choose treadmills that are right next to each other, so that while we're working out, you know, we can still talk and hang out and be present with each other.00:37:28.856 --> 00:37:29.398


Right right.00:37:29.398 --> 00:37:32.391


So I think there are ways, and it doesn't have to be a workout.00:37:32.391 --> 00:37:39.992


Maybe like and it doesn't have to be a workout, maybe like a fun art class or something like we're.00:37:39.992 --> 00:37:40.860


You know, oh, I love there's a few like wine and art class.00:37:40.786 --> 00:37:43.423


You know that kind of thing yeah, I love just something fun like that or what an activity like a fun sort of activity.00:37:43.351 --> 00:37:45.099


You know something top golf or you know, just bowling.00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:51.909


I love bowling, yeah exactly I'm down yeah, anything, and even if it's something I haven't tried and he loves it, I'm open to it.00:37:51.909 --> 00:37:53.751


Yeah, yeah, I'm adventurous.00:37:53.971 --> 00:38:01.641


I like to try different things now it's time to get to know you with zoyo, sponsored by zoyo, your neighborhood yogurt rapid fire questions.00:38:01.641 --> 00:38:02.264


Are you ready?00:38:02.264 --> 00:38:10.112


Yes, the best or worst pickup line that you've ever heard, or a line I probably I would say oh, what's your?00:38:10.112 --> 00:38:24.039


Sign really people say that, oh, that is so not creative.00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:31.949


Yeah I was like really, and that doesn't really open it up to a good conversation, because you say oh, taurus yeah, like well, I didn't even answer.00:38:31.969 --> 00:38:35.373


I'm like like really, I'm like why Also?00:38:35.414 --> 00:38:36.615


guys using that line.00:38:36.615 --> 00:38:38.518


Do they actually know anything?00:38:38.619 --> 00:38:39.601


about astrology.00:38:40.166 --> 00:38:41.030


That's a girl thing.00:38:41.306 --> 00:38:42.731


It is a girl thing, isn't it?00:38:42.731 --> 00:38:43.507


That is the worst line.00:38:43.507 --> 00:38:44.992


Too many guys are into astrology.00:38:44.992 --> 00:38:47.170


They're looking up their horoscope daily, you know.00:38:47.452 --> 00:38:47.913


Lame.00:38:47.913 --> 00:38:49.237


Yeah, that was pretty bad.00:38:49.237 --> 00:38:51.393


Favorite body parts on a partner Eyes.00:38:51.393 --> 00:38:52.146


I love the eyes.00:38:52.146 --> 00:38:52.987


What gives?00:38:53.007 --> 00:38:53.510


you the ick?00:38:53.510 --> 00:38:56.836


Oh yeah, I would say.00:38:56.836 --> 00:39:00.813


Smells like if you're smelly.00:39:00.813 --> 00:39:03.418


Oh yeah, I still can't believe someone would show up for a date.00:39:03.625 --> 00:39:06.210


Yeah, how easy is that buy some spray exactly.00:39:06.251 --> 00:39:10.788


It's not rocket science exactly exactly is porn considered cheating?00:39:10.788 --> 00:39:13.634


Maybe for doing it together.00:39:13.634 --> 00:39:14.315


I don't think it is.00:39:15.336 --> 00:39:21.536


Yeah, not necessarily okay, before being intimate, is it appropriate to ask your date how many people they've been with?00:39:21.536 --> 00:39:27.635


I think it's appropriate it's appropriate yeah, I think so is it acceptable to have sex on a first date?00:39:27.635 --> 00:39:33.474


Depends on the situation should you disclose mental health issues early on in a relationship?00:39:37.306 --> 00:39:38.367


Depends.00:39:38.588 --> 00:39:39.028


Yes and no.00:39:39.590 --> 00:39:40.391


Yeah, that's hard to answer.00:39:41.052 --> 00:39:44.239


Last but not least, what is your favorite sexual position and why?00:39:46.364 --> 00:39:48.210


Ooh, okay, this was that last question.00:39:48.210 --> 00:39:49.213


You know it was coming.00:39:49.213 --> 00:39:50.275


Oh, I don't have sex at all.00:39:50.456 --> 00:39:51.820


What are you talking about?00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:51.980


Sex?00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:52.541
