Customer Reviews
Thank you
For the hood work Damona - level headed and sound advice in what can be a crazy dating world!
Super helpful dating advice!!
Love Damona! Her advice is helpful, fun, and it works! Doing good on the dating apps because I followed her advice & expanded my preferences.
Thank you Damona! 😘
Love it, but
Love the podcast, the content, the host, but I really wish she would get rid of the smooches. It gives off creepy vibes and sets my misophonia on fire. Not enough to stop me from listening because I can just skip over that part, but the times that I’m not able to reach my phone fast enough to skip it’s like nails on chalkboard.
