Ooph a big section of this episode could be summed up with "I don't want to date autistic people" which.... like... okay. But the lack of self awareness wooof

2024-03-30 02:34:12 +0000 UTCListening a second time it's very... Lacking. First, I don't believe Michael has been on Grindr for a *long* time. And complaining about taking time to talk before deciding you want to meet in person? From the point you both agree to go out to the actual meeting up, how soon does that need to be? People aren't always capable of going on a date the next day/the day after/etc. And that's where you can keep communicating and maybe you realize that person sucks and you can avoid going on a date with a flaming asshole. Third, they don't discuss much on the systemic reasons online date is what it is yet complain about the negative behaviours yet don't discuss it much beyond "I do this in dating, I don't lkke that". And how is Michael surprised by how putting 6ft in his profile got him more dates? Literally look AT ANY app and especially Grindr.

2023-09-28 14:40:55 +0000 UTCI'm so glad Peter mentioned the damn voice memos...I've been getting them this time around on the apps - before we've even met! - and I think it's SO WEIRD.
