Ever feel like your Date-o-Meter is broken?  We do.  All. The. Time.  Join Jeanette and guest Taylor as we analyze and dismantle the conundrum of the "Ejection Disclaimer" - an easy-out excuse that gets used when people kiiiinda still wanna hang, but also don't want to commit fully.  Wait, commitment?  Does anyone even want that anymore!?  How is it that our grandparents could meet in their hometo...

Ever get to the place where you have zero f*cks left? Imagine arriving at the place where you are actually in charge of the mind-fuckery that is online dating.  (A girl can dream!) Guests Misha and James both have their heads supremely squared on their shoulders and have spent some time figuring out how this dating game can be conquered, if only with just a little bit of mind mastery.     Join us...

Toxic Masculinity.  That's a phrase that's been almost everywhere recently, dontcha think?  The airing of the controversial Gillette commercial last month challenged men's and boys' behavior in our society by asking viewers to think a bit harder about the tagline "the best a man can get."   But what the hell IS "masculinity" actually, especially as it relates to dating?  What is it that attracts (...

Happy Tuesday, singles!  This new episode is a bit of a break from our other episodes in that we talk mostly about a book -- hold on, hear us out.  Jeanette talks to Jackie, a single New York woman on the brink of turning 40 and confronted with all the issues of what that exactly means if she is not married, in a relationship, and does not have children.... and doesn't exactly plan on having those...

In episode 5 of #single, we speak with Diane, an aspiring theater director who is navigating millennial dating on the cusp of turning 30 and has just come out to her parents..... as pansexual.   Just what is pansexuality?  It's okay if (like us) you're a little vague on what this label exactly means.  Then again, why do we have to define ourselves anyway?  Can't we just love who we love and you ca...

What exactly is it that men and women are expecting on a first date? (it's not naked time) (don't pretend your mind didn't go there) This month #single was invited to the bonnie mountains of Vermont as part of its inaugural Podcast Competition of Independent TV Festival (ITVFest). Part of that honor meant recording an episode of our show while at the festival in the ITVFest podcast booth.  So Jean...

In episode 3 of #single, we speak with Tonya, a highly successful advertising executive in New York City.   We discuss dating in our 40s and how it is oh so different from our 20s and 30s, not giving up on the idea of family (a partner with kids, adoption, etc), connecting with people in REAL LIFE instead of endless swiping #exhausting, and the dreaded surprise “set-up” from friends.   Dave, this...

This episode is super special as we recorded it live in NYC at our launch party event last month.  To celebrate the introduction of #single into the podcast universe we threw a fundraiser event at a champagne speakeasy with flash tattoos and a killer raffle.  The headliner was a very special guest visiting from LA, Miss Daliya Karnofsky.   Daliya is both a personal dating coach and successful conc...

Meet your hosts Jeanette & Traci!   For our very first episode we thought we'd introduce ourselves to you, tell you a little bit where we're at in our dating history, and admit a coupla things that really get our goat.  Do we address unsolicited dick pics in our very first episode?  . . . Yup.  Yup, we do.     A little note about the Voice of the Patriarchy.  In case you didn't listen to our trail...

Hello & welcome to #single!  We're so glad you're here.     The idea for this podcast came about because Jeanette (single for ten years, #notashamed) was writing posts on Facebook to voice her frustrations around dating - laughably awful dates, being stood up, trashy inbox messages and pictures, etc - and would finish each post with hashtag “single” –a bit of an ironic joke at the end and also sum...
