Episode 3 - Fart Testing

On this episode of The Handsome Hour, Wes, Cody, and Stony return to the most important topics in modern dating. Attraction is real, standards are real, and pretending humans aren't just hairier apes in nice outfits is basically the entire social contract.Sh*t tests: Are they harmless vetting? Manipulative gotchas? Or just the unavoidable reality of dating rituals? Cody argues for authenticity and "good faith," Wes shrugs, and Stony introduces his "fart test" strategy.Later, the conversation moves to a very modern first-date trap: politics. Why some people bring it up like an unwinnable test, how "vetting" can turn into fighting, and why the guys think the best move is often to opt out of the whole performative game.Finally, they dig into the nightmare fuel that is the Tea App and "Are We Dating the Same Guy?"-style communities  — crowdsourced dating reviews where you might have a profile you've never seen, written by someone who didn't like you. Wes tells a story about discovering himself in one of these groups and what happens when you try to "set the record straight."Prepare to get handsome.Click here to view the episode transcript.
