The Joy of Dating – Episode 7 – Ladies Night Special: Part 3 – Advice for Daters – Know Thyself and Be in Good Working Order

In the final part of Ladies Night, we all wonder why Tony decides to share his BDSM checklist with the panel, and a few of the ladies get an unexpected education on the topic.  Brinker tries to bring things back around to the topic list for the podcast, and somewhat succeeds?  We discuss how to pick the right dating app for you – it all comes down to knowing what you want and matching to the service that does that.  And while we’re on the topic of knowing thyself, shouldn’t we all do that before seeking a partner?  That, and cultivate self respect, boundaries, and a thick skin.

Are paid dating services worth it?  How are speed dating and online dating different?  What are the downsides (for all genders) of the sausage fest that is the online hetero dating scene?  We discuss all these questions, plus Bunny coins the term “low and be-fucking-hold,” among other gems.

The panel acknowledges 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.  The ladies share the challenges some experienced in trying to find female partners on dating services.

Mary compliments Brinker on his incredible online dating aptitude despite his inexperience and unfortunate reliance on Tony (aka Reddit-Man).  After hearing from the ladies, Brinker determines that he is never dating again, so fingers crossed that this Mary thing works out.

The ladies have aspirations to continue the conversation, but we all know how these things work out on the Beyond Caring network.  Stay tuned, is this the final series finale?
