    Just One Dick Forever?!?

    After a long-term relationship ends, some of us fear commitment. Divorce forever shatters the illusion of “til death do us part” so is fear of commitment simply a more realistic perspective on love and relationships or are we just wounded and suffering from commitment phobia? Is it possible to be in a committed relationship and still maintain autonomy and freedom? What even qualifies as is long-term, post-divorce? Andie and Duckie tackle their own commitment issues and explore the fact that post-divorce they’ve both gravitated towards relationship structures that are not strictly monogamous. Has this helped? Can ethically non-monogamous or monogamish relationships be considered commitments? Show Links WebMD’s definition of Commitment Phobia in case you think you have a real phobia! https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/commitment-phobia-symptoms-signs Alternatives to Monogamy in case the idea of only being with one person freaks you out but you still find yourself wanting to develop beyond casually dating someone. https://sexualbeing.org/blog/8-relationship-alternatives-to-monogamy/ The quote Andie shared: “The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.” – Osho (This guy was the founder of the Rajneesh Movement and was a problematic mystic with a lot of radical ideas BUT his thoughts about love are pretty cool. https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1432084-being-in-love-how-to-love-with-awareness-and-relate-without-fear

    Super Swipeable

    Some people seem to be flooded with matches while other people get zilch. Are you one of those people who’s not getting enough attention? Andie and Duckie help you tune your dating profile like a pro! Get tips to make you super swipeable so that you are a hard YES for anyone lucky enough to see you in their feed. Which photos should you use in your dating profile? What should you write about yourself (and what to leave out) so that your dating profile catches the attention you want. Also: we review the dating app Open. Show notes and links Photo Dos and Don'ts Use your most attractive pics (Duh, but so many people miss this!) Primary photo has to be well-considered No group shots Don’t put hot people in your photos No silly filters (Bumble just added these, ugh!) You can only look goofy if you’re really hot Show your personality with active life shots (bathroom selfies = 💩) Include at least 1 full-body shot, flattering angle/light/clothes Smile, even a little (some people look angry and grim)  Show off your best feature (thirst trap) Text Dos and Don'ts Don’t lead with a list of don'ts (like we just did in this list! Listing your turn-offs is a turn-off). Lead with what you’re looking for instead Remember the 3 Ps - Positive, Punctuated, Personal  Don’t waste space saying things like “No Scammers” Duh! No cliches (partner-in-crime 🤮) It’s okay to be a grandma but that shouldn’t be your headline!  Saying “No Drama” = I AM DRAMA  Don’t emphasize characteristics that aren’t sexy (hard-working) - this isn’t LinkedIn!
