00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Suran in the Morning Show.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about this a second ago.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 3: Being single or actually going from in relationship to being

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: single and getting out there in the dating world can

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: be a total mind f you know. I mean, it

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 3: can just really scare you, maybe to the point where

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: you just won't go out. And there's nothing wrong with

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 3: spending some time with your friends and letting them take

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: care of you and just being a person and not

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: having to think about dating someone else. Because when you

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: start dating someone else, sometimes it turns into this game

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: like chess.

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes it shouldn't be that way. It is. It can't

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: be horrible. It's true.

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: I know that no matter who you have as friends,

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: someone in your circle, maybe you are in this situation

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: where it's time to get out there and dating again

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: if you want so. Nate sent me this article. It's

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: a great list about dating, getting out there in the

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: dating world, and there's some things to think about here.

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: So if this isn't you, maybe you have a friend

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: who is about to go back into the dating world,

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: or maybe they are and they're struggling, or or the

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: succeeding I don't know. So, Hey, Nate, did you ever

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: find a caller for her?

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: I did talk to Renee. She says, dating in twenty

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: twenty four is like going to a thrift shop.

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: Oh perfect, let's start with her. Then, let's just rather

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: than diving into the list. Now, let's talk to Renee.

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: You're saying dating is sucking for you these in this

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: day and age.

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Why is that, Renee?

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: It's absolutely horrible. My comment was, it's like trying to

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: find the least used item that doesn't smell bad but

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 5: still holds up for a while.

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, dating it goodwill, salvation army.

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 6: I get it.

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 5: It's just it's hard. I most guys either that I

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 5: have come into contact with, or either you know, carrying

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 5: baggage from their past or you know they are you know,

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: sewing the wild if you will, on things that they

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: you know, should have done years ago. And it kind

44
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 5: of trickles down to me, as you know, the one

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 5: who's trying to date up. I end up only finding

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: ways to date down. My daughter actually told me the

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 5: other day, Mom, you're like one of those capture the

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 5: flag tech people, and I seem to capture all the

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 5: red flags.

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: Well, okay.

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: I mean, so you're saying it's impossible that there's nothing

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: out there for you at all, or are you just

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: getting started.

54
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: We don't know where you are in the process.

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 5: I've been doing this now for about ten years, off

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 5: and on, trying to find somebody that fits decent and

57
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 5: it has been very difficult. I am not giving up there.

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 5: I'm found in a termined There is somebody out there

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: for me. It's just a matter of finding that person.

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: And you know, one of the big things that I

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: have learned is I had to set standards and if

62
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 5: you don't meet those standards, then there's really no point

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 5: in you coming to you know, to things. But yeah,

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 5: it has been difficult.

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: So what do you think, Gandhi?

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 7: Well, I wanted to know when you say you're trying

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 7: to date it, but you end up dating down, what

68
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 7: do you mean by that?

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to find somebody that you know, and

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 5: I had, like I said, I set my standards, so

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 5: you must have a job. Your job must be something

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: that is able to take me to dinner, you know.

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to find somebody that that has those

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: good qualities about him, and I only seem to find

75
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: those that don't have those qualities.

76
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: So you know, and that's the hard part is trying

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: to find somebody. And like I said, again, so simple,

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: and there's yet so many men out there that thinks that,

80
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: I mean, how are you going to pay for dinner?

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: Chivalry is gone, it doesn't exist anymore.

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: Well, I I God, I hate hearing that because I'm

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: I'm hoping, I'm praying that's not the case for everyone

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: and it's just been the luck of the draw with you.

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: But on the other hand, excuse me. You know, we

86
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: all have this weird baggage that we carry around in lives,

87
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: in our lives, and so you're looking for a guy

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: who has less baggage because there's always going to be

89
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: something you have to deal with. There's always going to

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: be ways that you try to try to match up

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: with someone and who's not totally messed up forever, right,

92
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: So exactly, employ and.

93
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: It's all that you're willing to compromise.

94
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: With, Okay, so there can be comfortable exactly.

95
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: Well, they're there there, you know, there needs to be

96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 5: you know, obviously, I'm completely okay with somebody who has children,

97
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: my daughter's college age. I'm okay with somebody who has children,

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: but you know, it's got to be within reason. I

99
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: don't need the Brady bunch. And you know, but again,

100
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: two or three kids, that's fine, you know, we can

101
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: we can.

102
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 8: Work with that.

103
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 5: But if you've got five, six kids with multiple mothers

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: and it's like, that's just too much for me where

105
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 5: I'm at a right.

106
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: Now, and that's fair for you.

107
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Danielle, I know you haven't had one hundred percent success,

108
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: but is there one place or one maybe dating app

109
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: or something that you feel like works better than others.

110
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 5: I feel like I did have some decent luck on

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: Bumble and Hinge that you seem to be you know,

112
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: average people. Anything other than that, you know, the paid apps,

113
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: I did have some success, but not tons.

114
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: Right, Well, look, stay on it. It doesn't sound like

115
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: you're ready to give up. So that's good news, you know,

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: not at all, not at all.

117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 5: There is somebody out there for everyone. It's just a

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: matter in finding the right person.

119
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm in.

120
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm in all right. Well, thank you so much for

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: your time, Renee. We appreciate it. You have a great day,

122
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: good luck.

123
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: Okay, thanks you too, Okay, bye bye.

124
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: So this list is very interesting.

125
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: Dating getting back into the dating world number one into

126
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: this and I love this one. Worry less about if

127
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: they like you and more about if you even like them.

128
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 6: Oh that's a good one. Huh.

129
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: We're always trying to like, put our lure in the

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: water and hopefully they'll like our shiny shiny lure better

131
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: than the other ones.

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: Well, what about them? I mean, do I like them?

133
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: Like?

134
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: What am I trying to attract here? What do you think, Nate?

135
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: I think that's a very accurate, you know, point for

136
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: a lot of people, because a lot of people want

137
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 4: what they can't have, right, it's for them, it's like, well.

138
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Why doesn't this person like me?

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: I gotta try harder, you know, it's you're trying too

140
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 4: hard to get something that doesn't want you in return.

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: So I think that's a fantastic point.

142
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: And also, you know, you see so many people, maybe

143
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: you've been in this situation before, when there's a breakup,

144
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: you're like, why don't they like me? How I need

145
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: for them to like me. I'm gonna go try harder,

146
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna Well, no, what about you? Why do you

147
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: want to be with someone who doesn't want to be

148
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: with you? I mean, it's about you, isn't it?

149
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Right?

150
00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

151
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: Number two, rejection is not as personal as it feels.

152
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: Liking someone or being liked is more about compatibility then

153
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 3: your inherent worth.

154
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: Think about that for a second.

155
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: You know, we have to stop thinking about them and

156
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: trying to please them and making them like us.

157
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Thats just that sucks? What about us?

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: What about me? You know? You agree?

159
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 7: Oh my god, totally. And just because it doesn't work

160
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 7: out doesn't mean either person is bad. You just weren't

161
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 7: good together, right.

162
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: Number three goes back to what I was saying a

163
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: second ago. Stop choosing what isn't choosing you. If it's

164
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: not mutual, then why do you want to pursue it?

165
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: If they don't want to be with you, they're not

166
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: showing enough interest in you. All right, later or maybe

167
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: not even later?

168
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: Bye? Right? I love this list? Where'd you get this list?

169
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: It's from We're Not Really Strangers dot com? It was

170
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 4: on RT and I just thought it was interesting.

171
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: I love it.

172
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: Number four, ask yourself, would you be friends with this

173
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: person if you weren't physically attracted them?

174
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 6: I mean that's a good one, really good one. Yeah,

175
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 6: that is really good.

176
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Well, physical attraction is typically what typically what kind of

177
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: makes us look at someone to begin with. I get that,

178
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: but it's going to be beyond and deeper than that.

179
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking of that when I was watching The

180
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: Bachelorette for the one day I watched it the other

181
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: day because there was a guy who was so hot

182
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: and she has this physical attraction to him. But I

183
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't feel like there was anything emotionally there or like

184
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that they were really had anything in common or liking

185
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: each other. And I was just like, they were just

186
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: in it for the physical part. And I'm like, so

187
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: for long term, that can't work. You know, that's not

188
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna last.

189
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 6: It's crazy.

190
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Way about this for a second. Let's say you break

191
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: up with someone or they break up with you, whatever,

192
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: and you're like, well, why why are we not speaking

193
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: to each other anymore? Were we not friends when we

194
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: were together? Why were we even in that relationship if

195
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: we weren't friends.

196
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: That's why when people say they started out as friends

197
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: first with someone for years and then it went into

198
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: that area, I feel like, you know what that means

199
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: so much sense because you knew you like them because

200
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: they were your friend first.

201
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: Wow, I've never been one of those. Have you guys?

202
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: Oh that's all I date.

203
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 6: There's some that I've been friends with.

204
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 7: Really we start, Yeah, I have not dated someone who

205
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 7: I was not friends with at some point in my

206
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 7: life or knew before we started dating.

207
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Brandon and you hated each other at first.

208
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: Remember then you became friends and.

209
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: Well they were kids.

210
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you weren't even twelve.

211
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean it was that young.

212
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were little.

213
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean but I knew him for a

214
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 7: while and we still talked online and you knew each

215
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 7: other a bit.

216
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, here's a deep one.

217
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: Make it very clear on what you want to give

218
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: in a relationship, not just what you want to receive

219
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: in a relationship, meaning what unique value do you bring

220
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: to a partnership? Wow, see again you're taking the light

221
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: off of them and putting it on you.

222
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: This is about me.

223
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: I want to be happy in this relationship. What am

224
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: I willing to give? How far am I willing to go?

225
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: If ever they push you to the point where they

226
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: want you to go into an area where you don't

227
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: want to go emotionally or putting it up with whatever,

228
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: how much do that can you give?

229
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's not about them, it's about you.

230
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 7: And I also think too. I have a very good

231
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: friend who's always complaining about the dating world, and I

232
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 7: asked her once would you date you? And she said no?

233
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 7: So I was like, okay, well why you right?

234
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 6: Got to fix that?

235
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: Was she serious?

236
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

237
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: Wow?

238
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: If you say that I wouldn't date myself, that is

239
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: worthy of investigation.

240
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 6: Don't don't you think that's a red flag? Yeah?

241
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: Wow? Uh?

242
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: Again, know what you want from a potential partner. What

243
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: are your non negotiables, what are you flexible on? And

244
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: then communicate your needs. Don't just look, just think them.

245
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Sometimes you don't know with an

246
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: individual person you're dating what's negotiable or not until you

247
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: get to the problem, right, you don't know you date.

248
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: There's some things like maybe religious that's a non negotiable.

249
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: Like I knew going into my relationship being a Catholic

250
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: is important to me. I knew I wanted to raise

251
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: my kids Catholic. Sheldon's Episcopalian, which is very close. But

252
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, like we those are things you need to discuss.

253
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Those are things that if that's that important to you

254
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: going in, is that non negotiable you.

255
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 3: Know, Wow, and you're talking about deep into the relationship

256
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: with marriage marriage talk. I'm just talking about like body

257
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: odor stuff like that.

258
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 6: Oh okay, well, I hope that's a non negotiable.

259
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Well, different people.

260
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: You know, Danielle is wrong about you and what you

261
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: believe in as far as bodyodor goes. I'm not into

262
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: body odor personally. I'm just using as example, Yes, Kandhi.

263
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 7: I think a really important question to ask people, because

264
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 7: you'll get interesting answers, is what is something about you

265
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 7: that I won't find out until we're well into the

266
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 7: relationship or maybe it's too late. And I asked my

267
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 7: boyfriend that when we first started dating, and he said,

268
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 7: I'm a very poor sport, and man if he wasn't

269
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 7: accurate about that, and that is like something that you

270
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 7: deal with all the time on little issues. But it

271
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 7: would have taken a long time to figure that out.

272
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 7: And I'm glad that he told me that so I

273
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 7: could decide if that was, you know, something that bothered

274
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 7: me or not.

275
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: Well, asking about those things, most of the ones that

276
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: are the most challenging, they're not going to tell you

277
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: because they don't face up to those problems.

278
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: Themselves. Well they might not even know it exactly exactly

279
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: what's up? Scary?

280
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 8: Okay, At the risk of sounding as shallow as a puddle,

281
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 8: I just bring it all back. I'm sorry, I don't

282
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 8: want to. I think that people who are fours and

283
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 8: fives and sixes aim for eights, nines and tens, and

284
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 8: the eights and nines and tens are really dating and

285
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 8: with other eights, nines and tens, they're not looking down

286
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 8: at the forest. Fives and sixes and not just in

287
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 8: the forest. Fives and sixes don't just apply to your looks.

288
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 8: I'm just what it also applies to what you're bringing

289
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 8: to the table in the relationship.

290
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: Scary.

291
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: How who is giving us these numbers? I'm trying to

292
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 3: figure out. How how do I know if I'm a

293
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: four or five or six.

294
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 8: Well, you may be lower like for me, Okay, if

295
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 8: two people, one person doesn't have kids and one person

296
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 8: has kids, some of the person without the kids might

297
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 8: lower the score of a person with kids because for

298
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 8: them that's like, you know, they don't have kids and

299
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 8: they're they're they're dating.

300
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so I get that, But the rating of these numbers,

301
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out, Like this isn't the Olympics.

302
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: We're not having the German judge give us a number.

303
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: I don't know where you're coming up with, Like, how

304
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: do you know you're a four? How dare you as

305
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: a five go for an eight?

306
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 2: How does it? How does this apply? Just tell me

307
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: how that works.

308
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 8: Because I think more people would be happy and experience

309
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 8: bliss if the fours, fives, and sixes all got together

310
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 8: with each other.

311
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: And you're not listening to what I'm saying. How do

312
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: I know I'm in the category of fours? I don't

313
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: know how what makes me feel I'm a four? And

314
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: how do you know that you're not a nine to

315
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: someone and a three to someone else? Right, I'm not trying.

316
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure this out.

317
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 8: I feel like, Okay, looks wise, I may be a

318
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 8: five or six, but maybe I have a great so

319
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 8: that brings me up to an eight, you know, because like,

320
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 8: for instance, that woman right there on the phone was

321
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 8: looking for someone, but take some dinner.

322
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: I can do that.

323
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: But you think you're an eight, but everyone else thinks

324
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: you're a three.

325
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: Like that's not like you know out though.

326
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 8: It's it's it. There's more to it than just the looks.

327
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 8: It's the full package of what you're bringing. If you've

328
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 8: got baggage and you've got like your x'es, and you've

329
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 8: got other issues going, your number is going to be lower.

330
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 8: You may be really hot, you may be a nine,

331
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 8: but you're lowered to a four. I'm just saying that

332
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 8: the people should get I don't know. This is just

333
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 8: my own theory. And I saw form online.

334
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: Okay, good, let me stick figure form. Let me ask

335
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: you how much how much sense would this conversation make

336
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: if you eliminated the fours, fives, and six's rating system

337
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: and just talked as if we're just people like dating

338
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: people with baggage versus not and what gandhi, can you

339
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: help me with this?

340
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

341
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 7: I kind of sadly understand what he's saying a little bit,

342
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 7: because you know, we were on the phone early with

343
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 7: a woman who said, I'm trying to date up. I

344
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 7: always date down. But if she's trying to date up,

345
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: and that means the person she's trying to date is

346
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 7: going to date down. So I think what he's trying to.

347
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: Say is maybe.

348
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 7: She's trying to like shop in our category and like

349
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 7: stay I actually dealt with a dating service called the

350
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 7: Three Day Rule, and they said, one of the biggest

351
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 7: dating mistakes is that everybody wants a ten. Sort of

352
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 7: what's scary you're saying, But what are you bringing to

353
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: the table that makes you a ten?

354
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: And it isn't all about looks, It's about lifestyle. It's

355
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: about all kinds of things.

356
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 7: But a lot of people are disappointed because they think

357
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 7: that they're bringing more than they actually are.

358
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: I don't know if.

359
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 8: Helen wanted ten, but the guys that she's looking at

360
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 8: are dating other nines and tens.

361
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: She may not be a ten to that.

362
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: Dude.

363
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: It sucks, but that's life.

364
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: But everybody's ten is different. Like you're ten is different

365
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: than my ten.

366
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: That's my point, Like it's it's just okay, let me

367
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: just assign myself a number according to what I feel

368
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: about me.

369
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I do shockingly see where you're going.

370
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: With it, you know, I don't know. Let's move on.

371
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: If you if you had a way with words, they

372
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: move you up to seven. Maybe all right, all right,

373
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: stop here we are another list. Uh line here is

374
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: stop being shocked by repeated behavior. Oh god, I am

375
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: such the worst at this. For example, if someone has

376
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: continuously shown you they're they're not a good texture, stop

377
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: expecting them to be.

378
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Notice patterns and believe them. And this could be.

379
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: Something as simple as texting or something as complicated as

380
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: anger or whatever. If you see a pattern there, stop

381
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: being shocked every time it comes to the surface.

382
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 6: I'm guilty of that too. I'm sorry too.

383
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: Is it because we think it's going to change and

384
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: it never does? Is that basically what it is?

385
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, because you think you're going to change that person.

386
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: You think, oh, I'm special, I'm going to change this

387
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: person's bad behavior or behavior that I don't agree with

388
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: because I'm special, I'm different.

389
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: Nope, that person is that person. You're not going to change.

390
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 4: Them special, Nate, That's right. I'm telling myself that for years.

391
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: Danielle, that's that's a very good one.

392
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: We're all guilty of that, not only in romantic relationships,

393
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: but in relationship with relationships with colleagues and friends, whatever.

394
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: They keep screwing you over in one way or another,

395
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: and you just expect it to get better and it doesn't.

396
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: I love that one. You don't need to be perfect

397
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: to be loved. Perfection isn't relatable, meaning I could be

398
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: a four and be loved. Oh scary, You can't, you

399
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: can't connect to it. We all have flow, we all

400
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: have vulnerabilities, and being able to own them as one

401
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: of the most attractive things we can do. The right

402
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: person will embrace the things you once felt you had

403
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: to hide. What let me read that again. The right

404
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: person will embrace the things you once felt you had

405
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: to hide.

406
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: Your oo, all your special qualities, your king yeah, oh yeah,

407
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: or your thought.

408
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I mean, it can be

409
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: physical or emotional whatever. Yeah, it's really about self examination,

410
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: right Gandhi, I mean, oh.

411
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think the perfection thing it's so much harder

412
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 7: now because now that everybody is online and you think

413
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 7: that you have so many options, people see little red

414
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 7: flags that they probably would have dealt with before and

415
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 7: it wouldn't have been a big deal, and they just

416
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 7: immediately write that person off and move on to the

417
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 7: next person that appears to be perfect. But everybody, ourselves included,

418
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 7: we all have red flags. You can't just write people

419
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 7: off immediately for that kind of stuff.

420
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, I gotta find my red flags.

421
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: I always so seldom that I'm like, honey, if you

422
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: knew this when we were dating, would you run the

423
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: other way?

424
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 6: And he's like, let's not talk about that.

425
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: Oh wow, changing that subject. This list, by the way, again,

426
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm loving it. A great list.

427
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: You right in here, Nate. I just lost it though,

428
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: Where did it go? I got the last one? You

429
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: want me to read the last one? Yeah, read the

430
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: last one? Okay.

431
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: Your love life is just one area of your life.

432
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 4: Don't forget to nurture the rest significant other aside. When

433
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 4: you visualize coming home to a life you love, what

434
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 4: does that look like? So it's not. Your life isn't

435
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: all about finding that person. You have other areas of

436
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: your life that you should nurture and enjoy, not just

437
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: finding some.

438
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 6: Good one that is a good one.

439
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: And sometimes if you nurture those other areas and you

440
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: don't focus so much on finding the person, the person

441
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of shows up, you know what I mean, the

442
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: most unexpected places.

443
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: Well, if I could just end it with this text,

444
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: it really sums it all up. I'm good with an old,

445
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: rich guy with a heart condition.

446
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 6: All right, Okay, there you go.

447
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 2: Shall I send them my number?
