Surprise! The Joy of Dating returns! No, Brinker didn’t return to the online scene. Surprising our hosts, Brinker’s girlfriend, Mary, asked that he convene a panel of the ladies of Beyond Caring to give the female perspective on online dating. Grab a free Cosmo and hang out with us – it’s Ladies Night on the Joy of Dating!
Shocking no one, a group of strong ladies with opinions and adult beverages led to a 4 hour online dating deep dive. In part 1 of 3, the ladies dive in quickly, establishing a # of dick picks rating system for bad dating experiences. Things get heavy with two object lessons in listening to red flags when two of our panelists share their stalker experiences. We learn why many women are exhausted by men and therefore may not even be accessible via online dating.
Brinker gets an education in the varied and terrible world of pick up lines, including such gems as “I see you’re a nerd, can I dock my Enterprise with you?” We learn how online dating varies greatly by area (rural vs. suburban). Finally, we ask the ladies why they got into online dating – social awkwardness, access, and convenience prevail.
Catch the ladies next time in Part 2 to learn their thoughts on dating safety, when to lay down relationship goals, red flags (prevent those stalkers from happening!), and what’s acceptable regarding the dating person’s kids – should they appear in an online dating profile?
Note that Ladies Night focuses on the hetero dating experience, due to the majority of the participants’ experiences being in this realm. We aren’t being exclusionary, just speaking to our experience.
