<v Speaker 3>Who's out from here?

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 5>From The Golden Bachelor and their podcast Bachelor Happy Hour

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Golden Hour. We have Kathy Schwartz and Susan Knowles with

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 5>us today.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 6>You guys, Yes, we're back.

<v Speaker 3>We love having you.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we have to go because we had so many

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 5>questions last time that we needed more information. Keep going

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 5>because everything you have to say is like golden nuggets.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 5>Is that that I could I could get some gold

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 5>out of your nuggets? And of course, like the conversation

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 5>between you two and just your beautiful relationship. I think

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 5>that's really iron for people to three times the m absolutely.

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 5>This is from Lisa Rogers. Okay, is there one dating

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 5>site better than the other.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I've never been on a dating site, so I could

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>not answer that question.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 2>There are all the same people on all the same

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>dating sites.

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>They say the ones you pay for are better than

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 3>the free ones, but I don't find that to be

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 3>true either.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.119
<v Speaker 6>I mean, there's so many now it's overwhelming.

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, you used to think that you're in a

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 3>big city. There's more people that I think it's harder

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>to meet people in a big city, like in New York.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>People complain all the time, this is the worst.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Place in La youn't Philly. I think the reason in

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>big cities and my daughter said this, and I've had

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>several other friends say this. When you're in a big city,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.399
<v Speaker 2>like you can be on a date with a great

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>guy or a great woman and they're talking to you

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>and then they SEPs, they just wipe.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>There's always someone job, prettier, younger, thinner, smarter, richer. No

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that ha ha ha, but thank you very much.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I thank you.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 1>No. But I remember my mom always telling me that,

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>she said, you can never when you're actually looking for someone,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>if you get into this comparison business, which I think

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the apps actually encourage and perhaps even make it sort

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 1>of addictive. But if you are always looking for what

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>if I could find something better, If you're in that mindset,

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>you'll never ever settle down or be okay with what

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you have, or recognize the beauty or uniqueness of what

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you have. So I think these apps unfortunately perpetuate that

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>right because you always do have another option, and it's

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>right through at your fingertips. That's got to be really tough.

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>You don't have to name it. But is there a

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 4>site that you've had more success on than another? Is

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 4>there not a front runner at all?

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>For me, bumble. I met two guys on match that

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 2>were above ground and breathing. And then I met a

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>couple guys on the bumble that were worth having second

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>day with, but not you.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Know, not really coffee meets begel. They're all in New

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 3>York or North Jersey. It's about vicinities too.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, where you're at look geographically desirul.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, another question for your all here again no name

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>attached to this one, but it says, when do you

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 4>start having the money conversations debt, if you say, for retirement,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 4>if your adult children are going to be taken care

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 4>of or independent financially, when you start having those money conversations.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Money's always tricky.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, you kind of just keep your eyes open in

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 3>the beginning and you can figure some of it out.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 3>But I wouldn't have a serious conversation of that nature

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 3>until you're deciding we're serious and we're going to take

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>this to the next level.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 6>We're going to be exclusive. Well, no explicit of all that.

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 3>You just don't sleep with anybody else, right, who says, well,

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 3>I just found that what hooking up was a feature?

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>What hooking up means? She knew what making out.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 3>With you're hooking up with somebody. I just I have

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 3>young daughters, so I know, so you know I did not.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I have a question on this. So I am probably

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the senior member in this room, and I have to

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 2>be honest. Back to this question TJ that you just read.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>If I met, please God, may it happen the man

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>of my second dreams tomorrow. I honestly, I have three children,

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>three grown children, and two grandchildren. My husband and I

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>worked really hard for the money that I have. I

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>want to leave the lion's share of the money I

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>have to my children and grandchildren. So I don't expect

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>a man to take quote unquote take care of me,

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to take care of him. So

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I think at my age, it sort of would be

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a more equal partnership financially, you know, as long as

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>he flies me first class wherever we want to go,

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't hurt. But I'm just saying I want so,

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know, it's not like pooling money. I

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>would expect to share expenses. If we bought a house together,

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>we'd own it together. We would share the expenses together.

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's different when you're young and raising

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>kids and you're meeting some well.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 3>Anybody our age out there looking for somebody to keep

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 3>them a.

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Nurse and as I mean, it's just a nurse or

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>a person, thank you so much.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I don't.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so the money thing is always a tough one.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>But I think you know, you and I haven't had

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>serious converse. I think until you go to live with

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 1>someone and merge households, you know, obviously you are going

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to decide who should pay for dinners and like that'll,

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess evolve naturally, but I don't know that it's

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>necessary unless you are like actually merging your families together,

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>merging your households together.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a retirement account? Do you have a

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 3>savings as that was one of the reasons that that

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 3>didn't work. Nothing, No, I mean I have, I have.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm solely responsible for them, and I'm but I've

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>taken responsibility as a as a woman who has always

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>been a kind of a single mom to my children,

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>like in terms of financial responsibility. So I've I've set

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that that ball emotion. I have a trust and that's

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>just something happened and I've operated. No, and I actually

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>only learned it after the second time around. So you

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>learn from past mistakes. How you protect your interests for

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your children. And yes, when you have kids, and yes

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>we're talking to people with their second third time around,

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you've learned, probably in painful ways, what you should have

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>done differently, and you make and expensive ways. But I

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>will tell you I have taken my daughters along that

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>journey with me to say, hey, don't ever rely on

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>someone else like that.

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I want them.

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>That was the one thing I wanted for them from

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the beginning was to say, hey, no matter what happens,

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>if you are financially independent in whatever way you live,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and you can live modestly, right to live within your means,

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>but then you have choices, and then you're empowered to

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>make the best decision for yourself. Yes, and that is

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the gift I've hoped to give my daughters.

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, that's why we're here. Yeah, you like

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 6>us to pass that. My father taught me that early on.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Don't depend on anybody but yourself. And if you when

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>and if you meet somebody that's your equal, that's even better,

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 3>But always depends on yourself first.

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 6>Choose yourself.

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>That's funny, you know. My parents told me go find

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>your prince charming.

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 3>And marry rich.

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't any of that. My grandmother told my mother.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>My mom didn't listen either. Is just as easy to

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with the rich man as it is

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a foreman.

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 2>I've heard.

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>And she laughed because she's like, wow, I did not

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>follow that advice. What would you think if you matched

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or went on a date with someone who found out

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that they hadn't been in a relationship in a long time?

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that a red flag?

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>I think if someone took the time to work on themselves,

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a good sign. Define how long.

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say, what's a long time decade?

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You know? I have some questions.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>It depends on the age too, right, yep. And if

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 2>you're raising a family, if you have young kids and

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>you're raising you might not have.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>It's two years a long time.

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 6>Yes, that'd be considered a lot.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been on a date.

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I have even over two years.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 3>I have been on a date in two years, two

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 3>years on a date or not on a date.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know that the last time we talked to you,

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 4>but I thought, don't you feel for us?

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not something I like. Since no one's listening to

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>this at all, it's just us live in this room.

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I have not been on a date. I have a

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>couple of male friends like I would, but not a date.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Last time we saw you all, I thought you would

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 4>just a date.

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Yo, we were ready to date.

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 5>You were ready to yes, ready, I can assume and

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 5>would be very wondering, cautionary, reticent, thank you.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 6>That's the story of our life. Oh, I know, we've

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 6>got to break that.

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 3>So people say, well, just for you less, Susan, be less.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Oh okay, we've.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Talked about this. We can only be who we are.

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.599
<v Speaker 2>That's you know. I am authentically who I am, and

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>if you don't, I'm not everyone's cup of tea. And

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>I accept that, but I'm not going.

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I am everyone's cup of tea. They're just being stupid, Kathy.

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Have you all actually considered it, taken moments, and you

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 4>know what, maybe we do need to change things up

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 4>a little bit because there's so many people to give

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 4>relationship advice, to tell a woman to be a little this.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Don't be so we have some mine in the studio.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Don't be so bossy. You gotta kind of.

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Save that for the boardroom.

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>In the bedroom.

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>You need to take right.

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>She made a total point, like you need to let

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>him be the man. And that's a hard thing to hear.

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I leave when I dance.

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Are you kidding?

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I got it?

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I was standing on the bell. We did like eight

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 2>count of eight.

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 3>He goes, wait a minute, I lead Susan always, No.

0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the weirdest.

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Women were built to be strong and take care of ourselves.

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 3>There are men so intimidated, j there are We've got

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 3>a man in the house.

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's tough for me to answer, because I'm with

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 4>this one. This is the strongest, most stubborn, bullheaded, selfish, arrogant.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 4>This don't this is who I'm with. I mean, So

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.079
<v Speaker 4>it's tough to You have to be friends first, Well

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 4>you have to, but you have to have some kind

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 4>of confidence in yourself to be with a woman as

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 4>strong as you.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 2>You you and you you have to So where are

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>they all? What rock are they hiding under?

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 3>What would you change about us?

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 2>We don't have enough time.

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh absolutely, see that's the thing. And it almost breaks

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 4>my heart because we have plenty of conversations on our

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.719
<v Speaker 4>show about it with different women about like trying to

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 4>alter or change anything about who you are to make

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 4>this guy feel better about himself. So that he can

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 4>then ask you out, and it's just too much of

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 4>a game. And we're too we're grown, we're adults at

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 4>this point.

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 3>One thing I learned that this is something I practice

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 3>when you're in the restaurant. You don't talk to the waiter.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.599
<v Speaker 3>You let him talk. That's like a chore for me.

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like I got something to say, but I have

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 3>to let the man take the lead.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 2>That was difficult.

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 3>I have to let the man take the lead.

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 4>That's still a thing. Is that register with you at already? Don't?

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. That feels so weird.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 5>But maybe that's a generationally maybe older men feel differently

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:36.319
<v Speaker 5>about that.

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>But oh yeah, that's a good point.

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 5>My husband would never be offended if I took the

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 5>leader you know he has. He doesn't get threatened by

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 5>my strength.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.079
<v Speaker 3>I think you need Boddy should.

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>This is from Hannah Almer, I believe it's her name.

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 2>What is a good way? And by the way, Hannah,

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>if you know the answer or interview in this room,

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>tell me what is a good way to start dating

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>again after a long period of not wanting to date?

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Any good advice on that?

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Somebody to ask me?

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's called.

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I heard about the d MS.

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's the other thing we talk about sliding

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>into our dates are frozen over. No, there's no sliding.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there's a lock box, guys.

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 4>We don't know.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>We tried that too. That does do that.

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 4>What is the advice anybody good way to start dating again? Yeah,

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 4>for somebody who hasn't been.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 6>I guess listen to your instincts.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 5>If you've been, if you've taken some time and you've

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 5>done some work on yourself, you found that why place

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 5>to know who you are and find your strength as

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 5>a woman, Then listen to those instincts because they're not

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 5>going to take you to the wrong place.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Can I just tell you everyone told me to go

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.559
<v Speaker 2>to golf courses because that's where single men are. I

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 2>have pitched a tent for the last two months at

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 2>a local golf course. I haven't met one guy yet.

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean a lot of them on the golf course.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 3>They're laughing, but they're all married, like married. I have

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 3>another anonymous question, Should we be more open to dating

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 3>people long distance?

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's tough. Especially I feel like

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>even at my age, it would just feel like a

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 1>time suck, Like why would I be wasting time? Travel? Like?

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It depends on what you want.

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you want a companion to see and

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to be around and detext and to have fun. But

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>if you really want a partner who you're with day

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in and day out, that's not you're just wasting time.

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, But what if the person you're madly in

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 5>love with it's a job and has to go somewhere else.

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's different then, and you can't go with him?

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 6>Like, how do you do that?

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Kind of why can't you go with him?

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 4>That was my difference. It's a different Are we established

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 4>as a couple before we have to move across country

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 4>from each other?

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 6>Do you consider?

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Yeah, that's I consider that. If we're already establishing,

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 4>we're good to go. That's one thing versus starting initially

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 4>having to kind of get to know somebody in a

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 4>two hour flight away.

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, what's happening for the last couple of years around

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 3>here is zero? I'm open to.

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Can I just say? Ben Higgins, who we all know

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>and love. We had him on our podcast and he

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 2>talked about when he met his now wife that they

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>always every time they met because they lived in different cities,

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 2>it was in Denver. She was in Nashville when they met.

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>They would plan to see each other before they met.

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 2>They would already have the next time plan and they

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 2>would never be cry or sad. It would always be they.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and and you know it worked for them.

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's possible. I think it's difficult, but I

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's possible.

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean, what's long distance Europe. That would be across

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 5>the country. I think, you know, I've definitely that was

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 5>hard for my marriage. I know I didn't foresee that

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 5>visit in New York l A thing. Yeah, like across

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 5>the country sometimes on location.

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Again, though you had young children, right, Jenny, three little girls,

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>it was a big deal. We could do it, Susan,

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I do New York l A. I would do it.

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I would do it.

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 6>I think once the kids come into the situation, we're

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 6>beyond kids.

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>We're good.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 6>That's the that's the beauty of it.

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Jenny and yours, how long were you all not seeing

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 4>each other? How long would you go without seeing your

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 4>husband at the.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 5>Time, Well, a shoot would be like at least four weeks.

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 5>But he was really good about trying to get back

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 5>to the kids every week. He really did go back

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 5>and forth a lot because it was easier for him

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 5>to go back and forth, you know, and then it

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 5>was for me to take the girls.

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 3>But you know, we absence makes the heart grow fonder,

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 3>like you miss him, and when you did see each

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.400
<v Speaker 3>other it was even more exciting.

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Or was it.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 6>I would say it was a mix of both that

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 6>and the total opposite of that. Mm hmm.

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Listen, Susan, we cannot complain if we get dates in

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 2>la you know, damn right, while you and I are

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>going back and forth, let's just cut to the church.

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>There's for you. Tom.

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm in Philadelphia, Texas.

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but I'm ready to move.

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 6>They're international.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I like that.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I have listen. I have two grandchildren and two kids

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 2>live in Austin, and I love my family and I

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.640
<v Speaker 2>love my grandkids. That's what plans are for. I would

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth. I hear you. I could do that.

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>It is one of those school things now that I'm

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>an empty nester, like the idea that like I can live.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 6>This is a good one. Actually, what do you value

0:17:58.920 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 6>the most?

0:17:59.520 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Confident?

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 6>Humor, attractiveness?

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>This is say them again.

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 3>I guess what my to you?

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:17.120
<v Speaker 5>Confidence a sense of humor or attractiveness, the above.

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 6>The most important.

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I like to say attractiveness. It's what I'm attracted to.

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, being good looking it's like being attractive.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So let's say attractive. I would say attractive is number

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>one because it's an umbrella for so many things.

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 6>But I like to laugh, you guys.

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Number number two.

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 3>You can't make me laugh.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't even want attracted.

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, and that is like the huge thing he and I.

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I have never laughed along with the human in my life.

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 4>And confidence number three.

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 2>You can make actually agree you were in. Confidence is

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>absolutely the umbrella attract if you weren't the other two.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.959
<v Speaker 6>If a guy is medium, more strong, they can make

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 6>me laugh. He has confidence.

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't be funny and not be smart, and.

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 2>So being attractive. Let me just sum this up. Let

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 2>me rank them all for you, Okay, Attractive is number one, two, three, four,

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and five because under attractive comes attractive, good looking, smart,

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 2>intelligent sense of humor, compassionate, good sense of humor, covering.

<v Speaker 3>Anybody out there, six one zero, and and the house

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.119

0:19:58.640 --> 0:19:59.959
<v Speaker 2>good job trying to sit that one.

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 4>Do you think people come into your life randomly or

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 4>do you think it's the universe? Are you all universe?

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 6>A universe?

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 3>Universe? I've been practiced where I am right now right,

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's universe.

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, universe, absolutely.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I just don't have a vision board. I think I

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 3>need a vision board and put the man on.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 6>There's what you got in your head, you need to

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 6>get out.

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 2>On a board.

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I believe the reason season lifetime, I really do. I

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 1>think people can believe people come into your life for

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a reason for a season all.

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 2>The time, all of us, I say, for all the time.

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.679
<v Speaker 2>People come into your life for a reason in a season,

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and the season might be a lifetime, but it's not random.

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree around A lot of randoms have.

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Come into my life. But that's a whole other conversation.

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 4>I have come around to that thinking. I am sitting

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 4>here in a room with you full of women, full

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 4>of woman having a good glasses of wine.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Myss is empty college football game on having.

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 4>A good time with you all, And the only reason

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm here is because everything had to go exactly the

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 4>way it went, and I'm happy where I am. So

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 4>that's why I regret is such a difficult word. I

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 4>would like to say that I'm happy where I am

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 4>the I've come around bridge.

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 2>This guy is a walking Hallmark No, no, but.

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I love watching Hallmark movies.

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the best try ever.

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>God, we will sit there and laugh.

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 3>We laugh.

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>And so how many times you've been married?

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Too?

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's just say three and chill be number three?

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Can I be number four? We stopped?

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 3>But three we stopped three?

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:46.639
<v Speaker 4>Look at this, Kathy.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 3>We have a long night ahead of us with this right,

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 3>flow your paste.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, this is an interesting question. Do people think rejection

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.240
<v Speaker 1>is better than regret?

0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.160
<v Speaker 3>No, you should pick another one.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 2>That one doesn't even count.

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, wait, it'd be better if somebody rejected you

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 1>rather than you are staying with them and then you

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>regretting being with them. Would you rather be rejected than

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.440
<v Speaker 1>have time? I guess if you look at it from

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>that perspective, I guess what your mom said, better to

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 1>know in five months than in five years. So if

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>someone had to reject you for you to know, it

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't right versus waiting and wasting years and then regretting it.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm too many pills and understand what you said.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 6>I think I hear you like I would want to know.

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as it's like ripping the band aid off. Rather

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>feel the pain now than slowly stings.

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 2>But you heal. Yeah, If the man you're dating is

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 2>paying alimony to his ex wife, how are you supposed

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to plan your future? Do you need to hold off

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>on pressuring him? Pressuring?

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Pressuring?

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>For you should never pressure a man to marry you ever, period.

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Do not.

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 3>She's pressuring him about.

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 2>The ag him to get in a relationship, but he

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:24.679
<v Speaker 2>has to pay alimony.

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>She wants him to be focused on her and her finances.

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Pay alimony to an ex wife. It doesn't sound payment.

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 2>It is a it's a there's no emotion involved that

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 2>in fact, and damn whens is alimony going to be over?

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And the word pressuring should never be in a woman's vocabulary.

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's not going to end well. If

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to pressure a man to be with you,

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not.

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Going to do That's another thing we just learned pressure.

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 6>I did that right to wait, But I don't even

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:58.919
<v Speaker 6>know what would pressure look like.

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>When getting married when all you're doing is paying money

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 2>to your ex wife everything?

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 3>What about our future?

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>What about our future?

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 1>When we have about where's my diamond ring?

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Where's where's my name ring? What about our house? You're

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 2>paying so much money to Louise that you don't have

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 2>enough money to focus on.

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 6>It does not sound much.

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't sound help me. I don't want to I

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be there. I don't want to run.

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be there.

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, another anonymous, I agree. When you're on round two?

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 3>Is it okay to keep dating if you aren't sure

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 3>there is a future? When do you have the what

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 3>are we?

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Conversation?

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 4>What are we?

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 6>Conversed?

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Im?

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>When you want to know?

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you have the conversation when you want to know, like,

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:45.119
<v Speaker 1>let's not play games?

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Is the question?

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:47.959
<v Speaker 1>When I want to know what we are, I'm going

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to ask what are we? Wait?

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Wait a minute, if you if you have to ask,

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying this is true. If you have to

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 2>ask what are we? Does that say send a message?

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 1>No? I think that there. I Actually we had a

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>converse and we talked about this. We remembered exactly where

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>we were when we said what are we doing? And

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 1>what are we and you know, yeah, what are we doing?

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Like we know how we feel, but what are we doing?

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Are we going from?

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 1>And where are we going? And you know, I'm at

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 1>a point in my life where if we're if I'm

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be with you, this is what I want

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>and if you don't want the same thing, let's establish this.

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Now, what did you do the same thing?

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 3>And that's very mature knowing yourself.

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.400
<v Speaker 1>You do a certain age and that's just that's where you're.

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 2>At because of age.

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.640
<v Speaker 6>Mostly, Yeah, you've learned some things. You don't have time.

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 6>You just don't have time to wait.

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what I want to know, did either of you

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>have this conversation with did you guys? You did have it?

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 6>Did you have tell me what conversation?

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you have the conversation with you?

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 1>What are we are? We?

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Did you have that conversation with your husband.

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Or on the same page?

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't think a lot of times that happens.

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 5>You just so, we did not wait very long. We

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 5>were it was a very fast and furious that was

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:05.360
<v Speaker 5>a way sham. Yeah, I'm very impulsive. So I think

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 5>we you know, we learned about each other after we

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 5>had already like jumped in, which might have been really hard.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, people, how fast was if you don't mind

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 2>my asking how fast?

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's so hard for me, she said, he is

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 3>not the one.

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I think we leave this dinner weeks later.

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I think we got engaged.

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 6>Three months later married. Yeah, nine months.

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Tonight, when we go out for dinner with these great folks,

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:37.880
<v Speaker 2>we're going to look at every guy and go, oh,

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 2>you want to get married.

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 4>You were engaged to you after three months? Right, yeah?

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 6>But the changed it.

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, I get it like the next d But

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 4>you put that in our head because we're going out

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:54.199
<v Speaker 4>with him tonight. He's just.

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 2>By the way your husband. I just met him. He's

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 2>a very handsome man, think so very handsome.

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 3>I went and hugged them and didn't shake any hand.

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm a hugger. I don't think he knew what to do.

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 2>It's like, who is this?

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 3>He was very comfortable, Kathy. You know, his name is Dave.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 6>He's Dave. He's very he's not going. He's kind of Dave.

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 6>He's very easy going, easy to get along with.

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 3>So all right, he got the book.

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Jesus got the long one. This stunt.

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 6>Okay, this is we're going to go deep for a second. Okay,

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 6>I think, Okay.

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 5>My big problem is I've been in domestic violence relationships

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I told you, and I freak out and isolate myself

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to talking with guys. Now, I'm so

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 5>afraid to get hurt or cheated on. I freeze up.

0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:00.400
<v Speaker 5>Can someone give me some advice on how to approach

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.159
<v Speaker 5>men or some good opening lines.

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 4>We can't pretend to be experts. I mean, that's that's

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 4>something going on there that I wouldn't ever get to

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:17.160
<v Speaker 4>work on yourself to understand, but I can from that perspective.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 4>My god, if you've been through that experience, would you

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 4>ever open yourself up put yourself out there? So that's difficult,

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 4>but the thing is you, that's what you almost have

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 4>to do.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 3>You have a good opening line for a woman to

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 3>say to a man. Hi, Hi, it's okay, it's about

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 3>smiling about you.

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 4>Are I just I hate ever feeding somebody try this

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 4>line or trying to do this thing. It's okay to

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 4>be you. And I don't know the age on that

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 4>person either, but it's just that's heartbreaking to think you're

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 4>in a position why you just can't be yourself and

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 4>can't be natural and always have a guard up. But

0:28:57.760 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 4>we can certainly understand why.

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think you know you TJ. You've I was

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>actually kind of interested in something you told me. You said,

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why women think that men want you

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to play hard to get or men want you to

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 1>play games, like men actually want to know that you

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like them. Men want to know that you're interested.

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 3>In them, because they say, don't be available.

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Like TJ was like, be a straight shooter and like,

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's the kind of person you want to be with.

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Someone who wants to know, who doesn't want to play games,

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't want to like pretend to need to chase

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you like we're all especially if you've been through some

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>sh and it sounds like she certainly has. Shouldn't shouldn't

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>she want an adult, mature relationship And that involves starting

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>at a place of realness and authenticity. And I think

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 1>when you show someone who you are, if they don't

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>want to be with you, good, then you know upfront,

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like if you can just be yourself, I would just say, yeah,

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to be Willings. I know it's scary to be,

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but to be yourself is that's the only way you're

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>going to get an authentic love in return.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And when you see a red flag, believe it's

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 3>a red flag.

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>When someone shows you who they are, yes.

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I believe them.

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay, we've been told we got time for one more?

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Is it you want to No, it's oh please, my love, gentlemen,

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 3>take it last one here?

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 4>Wow? Okay, it says it's directed at me.

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Actually, OHJ the best for last.

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh you are gonna love this. Is it acceptable to

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 4>set one of your guy friends up with more than

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 4>one of your female friends or is that in bad taste?

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 4>Why don't.

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 3>As long as you're honest about say. I don't know

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 3>who's action was, but.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 6>I guess you're right. Let's be realistic. I think it's

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 6>okay for me.

0:30:56.560 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I think when you read that, I have this visceral response,

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>which is, if if TJ sets and I'm praying he does,

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 2>sets me up with someone he knows, I want at

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 2>least have the opportunity to explore where our relationship could

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 2>go with his friend without feeling like it's a I'm

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>a meat part of a meat market, Like hey, I

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 2>got ten girlfriends here, you know which I would want

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity, and then if if TJ's friends said, Kathy,

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 2>it's been real, So you don't like the idea. I

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>don't like that. I don't want to be I don't

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 2>want to be considered one of a pack. I don't

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 2>want to I don't.

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 3>I want just like going on the best it's like

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 3>going on a dating side.

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be shocked. If that makes sense.

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 4>I think most guys would not do that out of

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 4>respect for their friends. I think the female friends I

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 4>have now the guy friends I have, I would never

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 4>start and mix.

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I would personally on your own without the women know

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 3>and give him an option, show them both, talk about

0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 3>both people that you'd like them to meet.

0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And let him make that sick one at a time.

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Right, I'm not saying fix them up with both.

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Let him that's what.

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Then he makes that.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 2>So TJ dnswer is Kathy first, Susan second.

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 4>Every time I see you, I thought we saw a

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 4>reckon overring about who who we know?

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Then they forget, but we're coming.

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I am no, And I do like what you said,

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>because I think that no one wants to think they're

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>being It's almost like an agent trying to push their clients,

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>like whoever you want. But I got several pig problem

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 1>with you, Like that feels icky like or something. Yeah. No,

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the fact that you let one relationship see

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>if it works if it doesn't, and then and only

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>then when you say, would you mind if and.

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I would hope that if you know,

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 2>if you if Dave fixed Susan or me up with someone,

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I would hope that that friend would come to David say,

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I really like Susan, but now I really

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 2>like to meet Kathy. Susan wasn't all I thought you

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 2>would be.

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 3>But Kathy is notice how she named that the order

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 3>of that way.

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I would if it were a good friend, I would

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>hope that person would come to you and say, being

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 2>true to yourself for me and right and you know

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 2>she was great, but I don't think she's for me

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and there's nothing wrong. But I would feel better about

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:26.200
