Ghosting, Gaslighting, and Gay Bars (w/ Roz Hernandez)

from Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer · host asare badiako

For Roz Hernandez, dating as a sober, trans woman comedian is a trifecta of difficulty - and finding love hasn’t been easy. She tells Nicole about going to 4 different Etsy psychics to sketch her future husband, using Grindr to find dates willing to explore haunted places, and the hookup stories that came from visiting 45 gay bars across the country. She opens up about the surprising ways gay men have treated her, why she’s stopped dating straight men altogether, and the many times she’s been ghosted - in love and in life. Nicole shares why she loves her boyfriend so much, and the two dive into what might really be behind the male loneliness epidemic.Get tickets to Roz Hernandez's tour at RozHernandezTour.comWatch this episode on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcastSupport this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:» Betterhelp: Visit Betterhelp.com/DATEME today to get 10% off your first month.» Wayfair: Every Style, Every Home.» Mint Mobile: This year, skip breaking a sweat AND breaking the bank.
