00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:03.919
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.839
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.119
So I found out the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.759
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.719
Welcome to the meat market.
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.160
The single scene is a slaughterhouse, and we are here to devour it.
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:20.879
We are your hosts.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:21.679
I'm Lindsay.
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:22.239
I'm Jess.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.559
And today's sizzling single is Elle.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.440
Welcome, Elle.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:25.920
Hi.
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:26.719
Thank you.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.239
So you were engaged to a girl for six months?
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.240
We were actually engaged for a year.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:32.719
Okay.
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.079
Yeah, a little over a year.
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.840
So got engaged pretty quick.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.320
Do you prefer men, women, both?
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.159
I don't really have any preference.
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.799
It's I guess kind of whoever stands out to me.
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.799
I really liked her.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.880
Um I don't know that going into relationships I'd want to be with a woman again.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.079
There's quite a lot.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.159
I'm not really emotionally vulnerable to people.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:00.159
So I have a hard time connecting with women because they expect me to be more emotional towards them.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.000
And I don't I can't really do it, even if I try, because I'm very logical with my thinking.
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.319
So I don't really act irrationally.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.680
And a lot of times they just want me to be like in the moment feeling things, and I can't do it.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.120
So it's really difficult.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.159
And I love women too, but we can be dramatic, can't we?
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.560
And especially if we're like thinking on our cycles, like what a nightmare.
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:23.680
It is, yeah.
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.920
I mean, it's a lot of fun though, because like you get your best friend out of it, and you're like, we go shopping together, you know, we do that, like it's great.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.000
And like we still have a lot of love for each other.
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.680
It didn't end it like horribly.
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.719
We're still friends, you know, and talk almost every day.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.079
But did you end it?
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:38.560
Yes.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:39.760
Was she devastated?
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:40.239
Yes.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.799
Yeah, and it was I there was a lot that led up to the moment, unfortunately.
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.519
I lost my mom um uh three weeks before we got engaged.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.280
Oh, or after, I'm sorry, after we got engaged, she passed away.
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.560
Um, and it was really sudden.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.120
So everything with that kind of just created a huge weight and with my kids and stuff.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.040
So I kind of just snapped and was like, I can't do this anymore.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.280
Yeah, it wasn't really anything she did, it was just my own, you know, internal stuff.
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.919
Have you guys watched Hunting Wives on Netflix?
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.599
No, I've seen though, it's so good.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.680
I started watching it last weekend thinking like, oh, we'll see what this show is about.
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.039
And I don't watch TV, I don't have a ton of time to watch TV, and I always fall asleep on shows.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.759
I watched this season in like three nights.
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.960
It was so good.
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:30.240
Oh, I've got to watch it then.
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.639
Yeah, but there's a lot of girl on girl action and girl on girl relationship, and it's very dramatic.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.360
And it's it's just like, oh my god.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:49.840
I'm like, if that's how it is, or how it would be dating a woman or being with a woman, I'm like, I could never, I could never be gay.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.520
I could never date a woman.
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:52.479
Like it's crazy.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.919
It's yeah, it's hard.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.199
I mean, it's different when you're like not living in the same household, right?
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.879
Because then you move in together and it like the light switch just flips.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.919
So it's like you realize like, oh, they have these tendencies, I have these tendencies, and it's like merging really incorrectly.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.639
It's like trying to make a puzzle puzzle piece fit that doesn't.
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:17.039
It's really difficult, but you know, would you bring a female into a relationship with a man?
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.719
Like if you were in a relationship with a man, would you bring in another woman as a third?
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:21.840
No, no, no.
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.120
I'm and it's not like I'm a territorial person by any means, but I'm like, if I'm committed to you, I'm only committed to you.
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:27.520
Yeah.
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.199
I don't want to bring in another person because then like, what if what if you end up liking her and you leave me?
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.199
You know, like and that's true.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:46.479
It's hard to find a woman that's willing to come into a relationship between a man and a woman who isn't also into men and women, right?
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:55.199
It's like you're not gonna convince a lesbian who's only into women to come into your relationship or to come into your bedroom with a man.
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.039
Unless the man just wants to watch.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:58.400
Unless the man just wants to watch.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:59.360
Yeah, that's true.
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.280
I've gotten a lot of those messages.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.319
Have you?
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:03.199
Yes.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.439
I got one the other day that was like, will you, you know, be with my wife and I'll just watch?
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:11.680
And I was like, I'm on only the man's side of dating right now.
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.960
So, like, how did this happen?
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:13.599
And how does it work?
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:14.719
Is this on the dating apps?
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.160
It's on Facebook dating, yeah.
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:17.680
They'll reach out to you as a few.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:25.199
So they send little like um impressions, I guess, or messages, and they can like make a message after they like you to your photo.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.920
And one of them asked me that, and I was like, I didn't like it, so we didn't match.
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.079
But I was like, what a weird, like first impression to reach out to me by.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:34.399
Yeah.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.000
So they want you to be the unicorn.
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:44.720
Yeah, and I mean I yeah, I get a lot of those messages and like just like, hey, will you send me pictures for money and stuff like that?
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.920
Like, nothing's really hey, I want to take you out on a date.
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:54.800
Yeah, I feel like they should have an app or a website, the unicorn, because I know a lot of couples want a woman, want to bring in a woman.
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.720
Well, where do you find these women?
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:03.279
You there is, I think, field isn't isn't there one called like field that is for alternative lifestyle.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.759
Lifestyle like BDSM and stuff like that.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.839
And I've tried that before too, and that was disastrous.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.560
Why I think I spent like a whole two days on there.
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.120
Why?
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:20.720
Just like people with no profile pictures sending me like really risky messages, and then I was like, Oh, well, I don't want this.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.839
What am I doing here?
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:28.879
So then it's people using the app to basically hide behind the internet, right?
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:45.680
When the app is supposed to be a safe place for people who are into that kind of stuff to explore, but then you still get people who are using it like as a way to hide, yeah, I guess it's it's got a lot of uh anonyminity.
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:58.399
I can't pronounce that word, but it's got a lot of that behind it, and they'll like blur their photos, okay, which is super strange because it's like, well, this is supposed to be uh from what I understand, more on the physical side.
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.879
So like, wouldn't I want to be attracted to you physically and see you to be able to determine if I want to move forward with you?
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.879
Yeah, you would think so pointless interesting face out on a dating profile.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.920
I I think I'm on every dating app you could think of.
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:14.800
You are currently?
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.000
Yes, it's awful.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:16.720
Is it awful?
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.680
That's so bad.
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.120
Is there anyone that's better than the others, in your opinion?
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.199
Um, well, my most horrible situations have come from Hinge.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:25.839
Really?
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:26.720
Yes.
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:33.600
Um, and then the you know, one night stands and stuff are from Tinder, so it's like So Tinder is still a hookup site?
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:41.920
I it feels like it is, but I met my ex uh fiance on Tinder, like, and that was good while it lasted, minus the other things.
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.279
And then before that, my previous partner, I met him on Tinder.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.839
So I don't think it was like super fruitless.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.519
Yeah, so I just think you gotta weed.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:50.720
You definitely have to weed.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.800
Do you have any disaster date stories from online?
00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:01.199
Um, well, I haven't really gone on a lot of dates, um, just uh disaster after effects.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.759
Are you talking about who you think you're talking about?
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:13.519
So let everyone out there know, we met Elle because her ex was on our podcast and told a story when we asked him, tell us one of your worst dates.
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.319
He told a story and she found the story.
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:17.600
She scrolled upon it on TikTok.
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.199
Like, that is not how it happened.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.279
So he spun the story, right?
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.240
Yeah, yeah, he did.
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.439
Because our first date was actually, I was at work and uh we had FaceTimed a couple days prior, and like he seemed really sweet and nice.
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.000
He was very attentive, like FaceTimed me right away, calling me, showing me, you know, attention.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.079
And I was like, Oh, well, like this is unusual, but I like this.
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.800
And so he was like, Whoa, I want to meet you, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.079
I'll drive down to where you are.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.399
I'm on the West Valley, he's East Valley.
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:45.519
So I was like, Are you sure?
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:50.639
Like, that's a really long drive, and I'm really only gonna get probably a 30-minute lunch because I don't even take lunches.
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.720
And he was like, No, absolutely, I just want to see you.
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.800
So I was like, Okay, so we met at Schnitzel's by my work.
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.920
Schnitzel's and it was the worst lunch ever.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.839
I got like some potato soup and it was awful.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:03.600
Nothing I've ever eaten out of schnitzel's.
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:05.759
It's fast food, right?
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:06.879
Like they have drive-throughs.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:14.319
Well, and that's why I was like, there's like schnitzels or Arby's, and like Arby's doesn't feel really like a good fit for like a first interaction.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.240
So it's like schnitzel's has got the meat.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.120
I was gonna say Arby's, yeah, roast beef sandwiches.
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.639
It's like it's just a walking joke to do a first day that Arby's.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.000
I feel like I do Arby's.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.360
Yes, it's really good.
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:33.679
Yeah, it was so bad though, and I was like, after that, it just started going downhill with the love bombing and everything.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:41.759
And so when I saw that video, and I was like, that's not like nothing like that ever happened at all.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.519
So why?
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.720
You know, in his defense, maybe he just wanted a good story for the podcast, right?
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.080
So maybe he exaggerated it.
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:51.679
Like most people do exaggerate stories.
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:52.240
It is true.
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.480
Maybe he just wanted, you know, to entertain people.
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.720
That's true, and maybe he really wanted those nails of yours to dig into his chest.
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.360
Yeah, he asked me to, and I was like, no, I'm squeamish for one.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.000
So like I'm not gonna draw blood on somebody else.
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.559
Plus, I'm not gonna carve my name into your body.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.960
Like, that's cute that you want to ask me to do that.
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.320
That's like, you're mine.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.519
I want everyone to know that.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:21.919
I'm actually like the very least person like that, where I'm like, if you don't want to be with me and you're like pulling back, I'm just gonna walk away.
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.320
I don't have any desire to chase you and try and keep you around because you've already made up your mind.
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.559
And he would do that to me, you know, like just kind of disappear or block me.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.879
And I was like, okay, this is yeah, childish.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.279
Yeah.
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.639
Now he's in Ukraine.
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.240
So you know, of course.
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:46.080
I just love, I love how the book talk girlies all came out on that post, like the ones who are like into the fairy smut and the oh, I know the sexy books.
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:46.960
I think it's great.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.440
I know.
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.639
I thought that was so funny.
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.919
It was like all the comments were like, book talk girlies, where are you?
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.159
And it's like, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.440
I liked the ones that were like, oh yeah, give her my number.
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.720
Like, can I have her number?
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.279
And I'm like, Yes, like, but I'm not that person.
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.480
Like, I'm very boring.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.519
I don't go anywhere.
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.000
I just work a lot and go home and hang out with my kids.
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.039
Like, I I don't, I'm not an a fun person.
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.279
So you have four boys, right?
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.000
I do, yeah.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.879
One of them's grown and he's out in Montana living his life.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:24.320
Oh, and the other three I have full-time, but my youngest is being homeschooled by his dad right now, so he's kind of between households.
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.840
So right now I only actually have two in the house, but how old are they?
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.919
Um 21, 12, almost 13, 11, and 9.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:33.039
Oh, those are fun ages.
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.440
They are and at least they're self-sufficient, you know.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:35.679
Yeah.
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.559
They are, yeah.
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:45.840
And I work for power sport industry, so I, you know, we got dirt bikes and stuff, and I keep them going with we live out in the desert, so it's really fun to just go out and peruse with them.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:46.159
Yeah.
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:46.879
I like it.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.480
So, what do you do in your free time?
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.279
What are your hobbies?
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.039
Um, so I play the cello.
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:51.840
Oh, wow.
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.039
Yeah, so that's fun.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:57.120
Um, I really used to having something big, big wood in between your legs.
00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.679
Make a joke out of it.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.039
But that's impressive.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.080
How long have you been playing for?
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.080
So I actually played the violin when I was a child.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.519
So I just picked the cello back up and trying to like relearn everything.
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.440
Um, it is really difficult with super long nails, but I'm trying to figure it out.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.519
Um, I like that and I read a lot of books.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.480
I used to do taxidermy, but I fell out of that a while ago.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.399
Taxidermy, is that what you stuff things?
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:18.799
Yeah.
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:19.840
What?
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:20.240
Yeah.
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.399
And like So how does what does that how does that work?
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.840
You take an animal, then don't do you have to like drain it, obviously.
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:32.399
Like tell me the Yeah, I mean you basically skin it and then you would dry it out.
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.159
So you do everything from start to finish.
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:34.559
Yeah.
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.559
I haven't done like the full skinning, but I've stuffed, done like wet, um, I'm sorry, not wet, uh soft stuffs.
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.440
So soft mounts are where they're pliable and they move.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.679
So you can like sit it on a couch and stuff.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.120
And hard mounts are like the typical deer heads and things of that nature.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.519
So I've fell into that for a while.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.240
Um COVID.
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.919
I got bored and I was just like what's the weirdest thing someone's ever actually asked you to taxidermy?
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.720
So nobody's ever actually asked me to do anything.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.120
Okay.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:12.879
Um, but I had a business that was basically, you know, people were like, they really like the pinned butterflies and stuff like that with the skulls.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.240
It's not so much people were like, I want a stuffed duck.
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.399
Or like, I want I want you to stuff my dog.
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.799
Like my dog tucked away and I want you to stuff my dog.
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:27.759
A few years ago, though, I was seeing this guy, but he did like a lot of drugs, which I was like, whatever.
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.399
But he did tell me he's like, my dog just died.
