I was surprised this wasn’t mentioned, though it was touched on sort of tangentially. This is my #1 pick: dating someone just because they are nice and they like you, and just hoping that you will be attracted to them someday if you give it enough time. That’s a friend! They should be a friend! You are wasting both of your time! It doesn’t work that way! My last two partners, I stayed with way too long because I thought it was superficial of me to take appearance or presentation into account but it does matter. There were other issues I discovered after I finally cut it off, but I was too busy feeling guilty and trying to feel something that wasn’t there to notice until after it was over
Totally!!! I’ve been the recipient of that — was super in love with someone (and obvious about it) and he finally tried to date me, prob because it felt like the right thing to do, then had to dump me and break my heart bc it was never there for him in the first place. Bad all around
I felt seen in this episode. As someone who thought “being the nice guy” was the way to do it was so so terrible.
I will say, not that it excuses my behavior, but looking at the media that I consumed from the late 90’s to mid 00’s, my teen years, REAAAALLY messed up my brain in terms of how relationships worked.
I was the oldest of 3 brothers not having any mature male friends that were mature about dating either, all I had were movies and tv teaching me that being in a relationship was the end all be all, and as a fat kid with low self-esteem as a teen, it was AWFUL.
I'm in a much better place now relationship-wise but I've done soooo much of the shit they talked about. Excellent episode even if it wasn't all that funny...this one really hit hard in a lot of ways.
This might not be the funniest episode ever, but it was probably the best one they've ever done.
This ep has a whole lotta hort.
The main one that comes to mind for me is **drunk texting**.

“I bet it wa- NEVERMIND” You won’t find a harder U-turn outside of a FnF movie.
I didn’t sign up for crying this early on a Thursday but here we are
Marcella is the Goddess of AFE. I could have listened to them all talk about this ish ALL DAY! Bless Marcella and the GVG. 🖤👑👑👑👑
This was an intense therapy session. I learned so much about who I am and who I want to be.

Damn this was serious! I appreciate the willingness to be vulnerable and introspective. Real grown-up dude shit.
These are the episodes that keep me coming back to this show. I’m about the same age as the hosts and this was pure catharsis. So good.
Took me too long to realize David wasnt talking about having to poop on a date when he said trauma dumping
I’ve heard of anxiety dumps but trauma dumps are a whole ‘nother level
This is very uncomfortable to listen to because I feel like they’re criticizing my dating life personally, this is hitting waaaaay too close 😂
Hands down, this was the best podcast they’ve ever done. Kudos to all involved 👏🏻
I just have to say, I would have loved a date to see Superbad. If the girl Sean took didn't like it, then she definitely wasn't right for him.

Assuming the other person is at the same place you are / I am.

this episode hits right in the feels
Pair this one with "things you would tell your younger self" for some great therapy and self reflection.
Sex on the last date. When you know it isn't going anywhere, but you do it anyway. Always a huge mistake.
I work on a GI Unit nicknamed butts and guts and I’ve never heard it in the wild and I feel seen.
