Ep. 571: The Apocalyptic Dating World in Our Mid-40's

Getting older is already enough of a mind-fuck, and now Danny has to start adding dating back into the mix? Are you fucking serious?! We thought dating in our mid-30’s was bad, but now it seems so much worse. People are lying about their ages left and right, men we don’t even know judge us on if we’re “fuckable” enough (like we even asked them), dating apps are full of meaningless connections, and we've discovered that men who spend their free time online is a brand-new ick we didn’t know we had. Dating has never been easy—well, except for when we were 20, but does that even count?—and this time, Danny plans to sit in alone in her house and if someone wants to date her, he’ll have to do all the work to find her.A new nose and a new Instagram account [1:11]Going no-contact after a break up [5:03]Raw-dogging grief [7:36]Lying about your age in dating [11:12]We’re either “fuckable” or “too old” [15:36]Is age the only thing that matters?
