Getting catfished is annoying.

Finding out he has a wife and kids is a full system reset. We kick off with the dating chaos nobody posts about, then Lindsay and Jess sit down with Crystal for a very real, slightly chaotic guide to dating without losing your mind or your standards.

Crystal breaks down love bombing, why “too good to be true” usually is, and how to stop doing FBI-level research on someone who is already acting suspicious. We get into dating app burnout, trying to meet people in real life, and why social media feels like a never-ending singles bar with worse lighting.

Then we go there. Cheating, red flags, trust issues, Scottsdale dating energy, and disaster dates that are funny only after you survive them.

Hit play, share with a friend who is still dating, and leave a review with your biggest red flag.

Someone says they’ll take you home, then “just makes a quick stop” at 1:30am. Do you stay polite or trust your gut and get out of the car?

That story kicks off a very real talk on modern dating, boundaries, and how fast a vibe can flip.

We’re Lindsay and Jess, and our guest Emily brings a blunt, funny take on dating in Scottsdale versus California, bisexual dating, and why status chasing is an instant turnoff. She opens up about a TikTok-started four year relationship that turned toxic, and what it looks like to date again after losing trust in your own judgment.

Then we get practical. Dating apps versus real life, “icks” that actually mean something, athletic compatibility, beauty pressure, Botox conversations, and the anxiety of trying to keep up. We also hit a wild listener question about an open marriage involving a brother, plus how to come out to conservative parents who may not get it.

Hit play, share with a friend who overthinks every date, and leave a review with your biggest dating ick.

He shows up late, checks you out like a menu, then flirts with the waitress right in front of you. Nicole joins us to break down dating as a single mom, dark romance books, and why her standards are not here for lazy first-date energy.

We get into what she will not tolerate, how she approaches introducing someone to her kids, and the subtle behaviors that instantly feel off. Then we dive into Scottsdale dating chaos, including dates so bad she left without looking back.

We also cover modern dating scams, crypto “investors,” AI catfishing, and why dating today feels like you need a background check before the first drink.

Hit play, share with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest dating non negotiable.
