Online dating: it's just a contest to see who cares the least! In this episode, Simone is joined by award-winning journalist & bestselling author Nancy Jo Sales (The Bling Ring, American Girls, Nothing Personal) to discuss why dating apps are making us miserable and how dating, shame, and misogyny are all connected. Turns out dating in Vancouver Island and Manhattan isn't all that different. Nancy Jo and Simone also discuss getting older, dating in your 40s and 50s, and how deprioritizing men is bringing them both a sense of peace. Nancy Jo recounts a Tinder date where the man posted an ill-timed selfie and Simone tells the story of dating a man who, quite literally, didn't "see" her. They wrap up the episode with a rousing game of FMK - Archie Comics edition, where they ask the question: would Archie Andrews make a good partner?
