Romance After 50: Nancy Gulbrandsen Has Seen It All (And She's Naming Names) The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series They say love is patient, love is kind—but whoever said that clearly never used a dating app. Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living series. Today's show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and if you've ever swiped left, swiped right, or just wanted to swipe the whole screen off the table, this episode is for you. Our guest today is Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen—a sharp, witty humorist who took one too many bad dates and turned them into a bestselling satire. Her book, Swipe Left: The Savvy Woman's Guide to Decoding Men's Dating Profiles, is part survival guide, part stand-up routine, and 100% relatable for anyone who's ever thought, "Wait… is that a fish in his profile picture?" Nancy brings a much-needed laugh to modern dating—especially for those of us dating again, or dating later, when the stakes feel higher and the bios feel shorter. From Boozy Bruce to Flatulent Floyd, her book is a guide to the red flags hiding in plain sight—and a reminder that your time, energy, and heart are far too valuable to waste on someone who "isn't ready for a relationship" but still wants to meet for drinks. We're going to talk about why the dating pool often feels like a puddle, how women over 50 are reclaiming their confidence, and why it's okay to say no, trust your gut, and most of all—laugh. So pour yourself something strong—or something sparkling—and get ready to swipe smart. Here now with wit, warmth, and way too many cautionary tales... is author Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen.  Remember, Today's show is brought to you by Aura Frames.
