Together, they hear from one woman who found love in New York’s super-intense hospitality industry, a Tinder user who ended up on a great first date with the wrong person, and other singles who are trying to not only survive, but thrive, in the Big Apple.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone complains about dating in their city: We’ve all been there and blamed our area code for that. But what happens when you live in a town so small that the pickings really are that slim? We went to small-town America to hear how young people keep dating real in places where both venues and singles are in short supply. Faye is joined in the studio by sex and relationship expert Emily Morse, host of the badass podcast and Sirius XM show “Sex with Emily.” Together, the two hear from River, a trans man swimming in a tiny dating pool in North Carolina who’s looking for help on his Tinder profile. Plus, they talk to Josh from Winnecombe, Wisconsin, who has figured out a way to make the single life fun by going longboarding, raft building, and thrift-shopping on his dates. Hey, when you’re dealing with a population of about 2,300, you gotta get creative!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

People flock to LA for fame and fortune. But is love in the mix, too? Singles in Los Angeles are some of the healthiest, most active, and most attractive in the country—but sometimes, a preoccupation with fitness, fame, and social media influencing can go too far. Faye is joined by musician Bryce Vine, whose hit songs “La La Land,” “Drew Barrymore,” and “Los Angeles” are currently being played non-stop on the radio. He muses on his experiences living and loving in the City of Angels, and the two hear from Tinder users in LA. One had her competitive and uber-fit first date literally run away from her in Runyon Canyon, while another shares how loneliness has been affecting her love life. It ain’t easy having and wanting it all when you’re California Dreamin’!

Tess Holliday, a model, Cosmo UK cover star, and social media influencer, joins Faye in the studio to talk body positivity, self-love, and female empowerment with Tinder users who are trying to find love in “Viva Las Vegas.” The two chat with Asia, a real-life dating vigilante who works in a casino and helps other ladies out by busting wannabe cheaters. Then, Natalie tells Tess and Faye how she’s been on multiple Tinder dates that have cost a small fortune (we’re talking $2,000+, and yes, they involved Lambos, private jets, and private suites). Is this just par for the course in the craziest party town in the U.S.?

More than one hundred million tourists descend on Florida every year to escape reality, enjoy the coastline, and soak in Orlando’s magic. But how does living in a tourist hotspot affect locals’ dating lives? With so many professional entertainers in town (what up, Mickey!), it can be hard to gauge a person’s true character or feelings. And the ‘Florida Man’ meme exists for a reason. In this episode, Faye is joined by Florida native Megan Batoon, an actress, choreographer, and host of the podcast “Just a Tip.” Together, they hear from an engagement photographer at Disney World (who knows for a fact that Goofy gets around), a Tinder user whose pet got in the way of their last relationship, and someone who knows what it’s like to date a Prince impersonator. There’s never a dull day when you’re dating in the Sunshine State.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Portlandians love astrology so much that it’s even a factor when looking for a roommate–so how much does it matter when dating? Like, can an Aries really date a Cancer? And can a zodiac enthusiast date a non-believer? In a sea of environmentalists, outdoorsy types, and stoners, dating in this liberal bastion can be quite unique—especially because Portlandians like to “Keep it Weird.” In this episode, Faye is joined by Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin, hosts and creators of the hilarious, sex-positive YouTube series and podcast, Just Between Us. Together, the three talk about the popularity of non-monogamy and cannabis in Portland, and we also hear firsthand from Gaby why being on Tinder as a queer woman in Portland is lit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are charm and chivalry dead? Not in the southern US it ain’t – but that doesn’t mean times aren’t changing. From check-paying politics to the importance of family, we’re taking a whistle-stop tour of the southern USA this week. In Savannah, millennials and Gen-Zers are ignoring pressure from their parents to get married. Sexologist Shan Boodram, better known as @shanboody from her popular YouTube channel, is in the studio with Faye to enlighten us on the power of self-expression … and to clarify why dating should never be like ordering a pizza. Shan’s new book, The Game of Desire, which is all about gaining control and confidence while dating, debuts this summer and is available to pre-order now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Love is the one category we can’t write code for.” Wise words from this week’s guest host, The Try Guys’ Zach Kornfeld, who hung with Faye in the studio to discuss dating in Silicon Valley. It’s a place where ambition lurks under every nondescript zip hoodie, and men significantly outnumber women. But, there’s more to life here than analyzing data and playing with code–and it’s clear that understanding HTML doesn’t mean you’ve also mastered the language of love. In this episode, Faye and Zach hear from Tinder users who were asked how much money they made on a first date (it’s common here!), as well as those looking for a real, vulnerable connection in a hotshot world. Here’s your unfiltered guide to dating in Man José. P.S. Zach and The Try Guys’ new book, The Hidden Power of Fucking Up, is available now, and catch them on their first nationwide tour, Legends Of The Internet.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
