Single, Swipe, Repeat

Are charm and chivalry dead? Not in the southern US it ain’t – but that doesn’t mean times aren’t changing. From check-paying politics to the importance of family, we’re taking a whistle-stop tour of the southern USA this week. In Savannah, millennials and Gen-Zers are ignoring pressure from their parents to get married. Sexologist Shan Boodram, better known as @shanboody from her popular YouTube channel, is in the studio with Faye to enlighten us on the power of self-expression ... and to clarify why dating should never be like ordering a pizza. Shan’s new book, The Game of Desire, which is all about gaining control and confidence while dating, debuts this summer and is available to pre-order now.

Silicon Valley: TFW Everyone’s Got A Hoodie Full of Ideas

“Love is the one category we can’t write code for.” Wise words from this week’s guest host, The Try Guys’ Zach Kornfeld, who hung with Faye in the studio to discuss dating in Silicon Valley. It’s a place where ambition lurks under every nondescript zip hoodie, and men significantly outnumber women. But, there’s more to life here than analyzing data and playing with code–and it’s clear that understanding HTML doesn’t mean you’ve also mastered the language of love. In this episode, Faye and Zach hear from Tinder users who were asked how much money they made on a first date (it’s common here!), as well as those looking for a real, vulnerable connection in a hotshot world. Here’s your unfiltered guide to dating in Man José.

P.S. Zach and The Try Guys’ new book, The Hidden Power of Fucking Up, is available now, and catch them on their first nationwide tour, Legends Of The Internet.

Portland: TFW Everyone You Date Wears Flannel

Portlandians love astrology so much that it’s even a factor when looking for a roommate–so how much does it matter when dating? Like, can an Aries really date a Cancer? And can a zodiac enthusiast date a non-believer? In a sea of environmentalists, outdoorsy types, and stoners, dating in this liberal bastion can be quite unique—especially because Portlandians like to “Keep it Weird.” In this episode, Faye is joined by Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin, hosts and creators of the hilarious, sex-positive YouTube series and podcast, Just Between Us. Together, the three talk about the popularity of non-monogamy and cannabis in Portland, and we also hear firsthand from Gaby why being on Tinder as a queer woman in Portland is lit.
