Speaker 2: and the Man to find love for here. I like

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 2: my analogy. It's a terrarian We're putting people in our

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: little terrarium and they're flourishing, and then we put them

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: out in the forest and they grow into a big

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: oak tree. If you're confused, I'll tell you what we're

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: actually doing, and that is we have set up jam singles.

Speaker 2: We would like to sincerely find love for people who

12

Speaker 2: are sincerely looking for love. We've scratched the surface of

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: some incredible stories of heartbreak and loneliness. Today we're meeting Mary. Hello, Mary, Good.

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Morning, Jonesy and Amanda. How are you.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: We're very right now. Mary. Let's you're sixty one. We

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: put all the ages. I'm sixty one. It's a great age.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it. Mary, you've had some tough dating experiences.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: You've had a bit of a rough chop. Tell us

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: about some of them.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, look, I'll give you the low lights of a

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: couple of decades. So probably the most devastating one was

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: walking down the course though and running into an ex

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: boyfriend who I was in love with for eighteen months

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: and he just happened to be holding hands with a

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: very pregnant woman. So yeah, big jaw dropped from me.

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: So how recently had you been with him? Oh?

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: This is going back a bit, but he was the

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: pivotal moment for me to write my wish list for

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: a husband. I'll be frank on that, so must not

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: be too timing me with a pregnant woman was the

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: top of the list.

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: Wow, so you were going because you said ex boyfriend,

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: but you were with him.

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: You were with him at that time, so eighteen months.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: So yep, just answer this question. You were with him,

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: you were you were a boyfriend and girlfriend and then

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: you busted him walking down the corso with a pregnant woman.

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Exactly right. Wow? Yeah, and have there been others?

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Are the bad experiences?

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: Look? Yes, I did the whole online dating thing, and

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: I was very specific with the age, and you know,

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I know people change their ages and fit a little,

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm fine with that. But one guy

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I met, you know, nice dimly lit cafe and I thought, wow,

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: he's up for romance. But no, it was basically because

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: he was incredibly young, and I just said to him,

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you are way too young. And then

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: about two weeks later he turned up in one of

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: my classes as a student. Yeah, you have to be

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: under twenty five for the course I teach, So that

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: was bastard. And then I thought, okay, I'm going to

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: put my age crime to he up and same gyl.

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: I met a nice place and I thought, oh, this

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: man's got good taste. Turn up. It's probably Sydney's Dimness

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Lit restaurant. Ever, and when I'm nervous, I might have

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: a drink or tooth. And anyway, he was cooking in

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: good and hard, and yeah, I tacked a joke and

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: his top teeth started moving and nets propped them back

59
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: in and then he threw his head down to have

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: a good old belly laugh and he's carefully brial creamed

61
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: hair suddenly came up and it was long on one

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: side and he was totally bald on the other. So

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, rather than embracing the ball, guy, he was

64
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: covering it up and it was not a good look.

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, just men, who do you think? Yeah, I

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: think this guy is the real girl. And then you know,

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: it turns out they're married and they forgot they had

68
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: a wife. So what happened?

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: It happened to remind me of.

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Kids.

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: I forgot all about that. I like what you've said

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: on your list here of what you want. You want

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: someone who, amongst other things, someone who's happy and really

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: that's enough of it, isn't it?

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Happy and honest would be absolutely the I see on

76
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the cake. You know, someone who's not dysfunctional. I don't

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: want to sound like a diva, but you know, if

78
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: he's addicted to anything other than me, that's a bit

79
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: of a danger zone, you know, up sir, if you

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't smoke only because you know it smells gross. But yeah,

81
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't think my wish list is too hard to achieve.

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: Well, you sound lovely, Mary, lovely. Well. Thank you for
