This was a tough one to talk through because trust me, I don't want to sound negative about my body at all, but I tried to tackle the loaded topic of fatness and dating and the many complications and mixed signals that arise from being a fat woman on the dating scene. There will probably be a part two to this!

It's another solo ep...yay!! (I hope)

I dive into my little bullshit. Some life updates, and a general question I hope you'll respond to.

THEN, I answer a listener question about whether or not to respond to a love bomber's rejection message.

Listen now!

I am joined by comedian Rachele Friedland, a fellow "active dater" who likes talking about this stuff! And is good at it! We had a great conversation covering a wide range of topics. You are going to want to listen to this bad boy!!!

Note: The audio quality isn't perfect because I am bad at audio technology and still learning. Totally still listenable though. And you should listen!

Another solo ep (guest next episode!). I talk about a tarot reading I had which lead me to believe a tinder match might be my soul mate. Then I think out loud about the question: do we always get into relationships with people we see as our "forever person"?

Sorry for the hiatus! I have a good excuse this time (a medical emergency) so you can't be mad at me...

I have guests...three of them! I'm joined by my slightly younger friends Maddy Mulderry, Adam Sloves, and Hannah Carpenter. Live from inside Maddy's garage. We talk about how we each date, comfortability in dating, doling out rejection, and more. We also answer a question Maddy has...listen now!

Updates and musings. Going on more dates and actually...enjoying myself?! Not being pessimistic or cynical?! What is happening here? Tune in and catch up. I'll be back with a guest next episode!

I'm baaaaack. Again. Apologies for the hiatus but I have a good excuse. Your girl was in a whole ass relationship. For 4 months. Now it's over. I catch you all up on stuff, and promise you more episodes and consistency to come!

Sharing some insight from a used book I found in an occult book store in the valley. Relationship Strategies: The E&P Attraction by John G. Kappas, PhD. This book highlights what Kappas refers to as "emotional sexual personality types" and "physical sexual personality types" and how we are attracted to the personality types opposite us. There's a lot, and you'll hear me saying freqiently, "Interesting". However, this book is not officially endorsed by me! It is...interesting...though.

Some things discussed:

Texting sucks!!

What is a femcel?

Am I too picky?

V Single Theme by Jack Boger/Mirthquake!

I'm baaaack. Again. Thanks for bearing with me! I catch you up a bit, and talk about some things annoying me. IE let's stop telling each other we're intimidating!

Alison is solo again on this ep, giving some life updates but also talking about slut-shaming, sex work, and misogyny. She reads from her newsletter a piece that is yet to be published. Catch the sneak peek!
