James and Kylie: 0:03

Good morning, good evening and good night. Welcome to Lovers and other losers with Kylie and James. I'm James and I'm Kylie. We are two great mates who are on the phone nearly every day chatting about life love or the lack of it and mostly our current experiences navigating the perilous and hilarious world of online dating. So we both started online dating in the day when there was no swiping and we were using our desk top. So together we have 25 years of on line dating experiences and we want to share this with you. So we are going to be sharing what works and as we are single clearly what doesn't work. So are you single or in a relationship? Heard the buzz about online dating and dating apps and want to know more. Yes, great. Then tune in and join with us, sharing all things and lovers and a whole one of other losers I have to point out the probably about 23 years of that experience of online dating experience is Kylie's. I do remember that the awful awful photos you had to put up on your desktop. It was a very pixelated, crazy camera shots. That's why we are still single. So we were chatting one day after I'd listened to about 10 minutes of a podcast that these two lovely young woman with shiny white teeth and lovely skin talking about their dating stories and I thought this is not about me. This is not the experience I've experienced or Kylie has. So I thought why not look, we could do our own podcast. That was the thought process. So in True Kylie and James Arian style on Friday we did 15 minutes planning, recorded 15 minutes of audio on my phone, sent that to a handful of truth telling friends and family, got some constructive but also encouraging feedback then spent three days of googling and research and now here we are sitting recording our first episode. Yeah, it was good feedback. And they assumed we were never going to do it again. Um, which is okay. This will show them. So today we're going to be chatting about are you single in a relationship? Have you heard the buzz about online dating and dating apps and want to know more Then tune into Kylie and James Do Sunday. Yep. You guessed it on a Sunday. Fabulous. So let's kind of set the scene for today's episode. James, I just want to say I also personally don't waste your Sunday, use it on a Monday morning when you're driving to work or commuting or whatever you like to do when you've got that sort of little bit of time with you and just want to be boosted by tragedy and self-loathing. Today we're going to be chatting about bios or what to put in your profile, what not to put on your profile, sharing about bios and profiles. But before we dive in today, let's do our weekly, our first weekly dating check in. I'll go first place with questions or answers. I think first with questions. How many of you matched with this week on and off during the week. But I'm good at culling and very passionate at culling.[inaudible] sounds tragic when you do it. It does actually sound a little more humane when it involves cute animals. If I haven't heard back from someone in about 12 hours, I delete. So I'm currently matched with I think some down to three in Bumble. You would be pulling the plug straight away. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I'm in the right profession and it threw his game. I don't think he has a game on a Saturday night. He was walking though. He was going to go today to be deleted. I kept him so I could remember the gold this morning. So can we tend to match with my night dog walking was for words per person and three I think. Have you been on any dates in the last week? Yes. Date yesterday, which just want to point out if you want a date on the weekend cause Friday night I was going to bed at nine o'clock exhausted. Just went into have a little look really quiet. So just a tip for listeners. If you want a date on the weekend, you really need to start putting in the work and the legwork. A good week before, I must say quality date yet goon bag. It's a really solid point. I'm after a little quality and not a hook up. So I started putting the legwork in on Tuesday and pretty instant connection messaging about Handmaid's tales and I'm like, this is, this is a winner. And he messages back so two ticks? So, and I was actually quite bold and just said, do you want to catch up on the weekend? This was about five minutes in and he's like, sure, that sounds great. And the plan was let's just start with coffee. I don't drink coffee, but that's a side point and we'll wing it from there. So I thought that sounds great. Potential for anything. They'll look at open open day and night. And so West End markets at 10 in the morning after I'd been to Nia. I think I liked my markets theory, although I should have been more specific. I just said West End market, you went to the wrong market. And then he said, I've got a green shirt on. I'm like, okay. So sitting at the entrance to the market, looking out for green shirt and spot man in green shirt, who wasn't very attractive. Sometimes the people don't match the profile picture. No, the self portrait doesn't match. No it doesn't. And sometimes you check snap chat filters, chat filters, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, they're really great. Oh look, it's a puppy dog. A snuggling. So, so yes. He said, man, green shirt had opportunity to run. He put down his phone. I was watching my phone. I did watch, I watched him do what message? Well that's what I'm assuming and I didn't receive one. So he kind of walked away and then I've looked up and there's my man, well not my man date. Potentially he was in a green shirt so he walked across and then it was the next awkward hug or not hug moment. I'm of the opinion right now. Do you go in with the hug or do the whole Latino thing. There was an awkward moment, normally I think I would've made him really uncomfortable. More uncomfortable than he clearly already was. So I didn't factor in that someone who might have a bit of social anxiety, is not going to want to be at Davies part markets. Really busy. Yeah. And everyone can tell. I can smell a Tinder date in the air. And you feel self conscious, you know, people close to you, they can hear stuff that you think, oh, the conversation flows. Well, it didn't flow because it was so crowded. He walked behind me for the first ten minutes. No, that's terrible. And then next awkward moment. What do you do? I ran into someone I knew when you say he was walking behind you. He wasn't walking the other way. But now I can't go back to make sure I still had him. I still ain't even still, I still had him. And you saw someone you knew. And I do. You know what I did? Because he was quite shy. I just met him. A little pocket behind your space. Was he vulnerable in his own heartspace? Another buzzword. Quite a big chat to this person. And it's like, it's the man in my periphery. So that was the next. And then we decided, I said, no, what would you like to do? So after a big walk, 10 minutes out of by wrong venue and then walked through. So like to sit down. I'm like, okay. So we got a smoothie. Energy's, he paid great. Now I like this part of my next theory, which is sitting on the kind of sloped riverbank looking out towards the river and I can't hold eye contact even we were even on an even slope. So I think that helps them because I'm not, I can't stare at them the whole time until you scratch your mouth slightly. Like he's got something, lots of food. It's always comfortable. I'm really glad I did not go on any dates with you. That would be, and maybe three hours later the next awkward ending. The date. Well, I mean it's tricky. I mean if they are homeless you could just drop them off anyway. I don't know. He's gone off. He's homeless. He's not. So I did leave him and we part of ways at traffic lights cause he couldn't look, he paused for, there was this moment of eye connection, all that stuff. Yeah, I think so. I think and then I'm like, oh it's not like a pause for a kiss. I wasn't sure. Anyway, so I just left it busy road, maybe in the blue light disco. Now I read that wrong just part of ways and then next bit. Do you, how quickly do you message after you've had a date straightaway for a good date or bad date? Both. You always communicate after a bad date? Nope, I didn't. You like the theory? This is, I'm going to go on a date very shortly. Actually, I think I'm a little bit late. I'm going to go straight. She's a lucky woman. She's waiting to get used to this, so I'm going to dive in there. I'm going to give her a kiss on the cheek and then I am going to call her straight after. It could be five minutes after the date, could only last five minutes. I'll be if it goes well. If it doesn't go well, I'll still message straight after so I can move on with my life. Integrity, integrity. That it's really lacking in this saying, but that's good that you bringing that level of integrity to it. I messaged him, so now we're still messaging. Oh, I don't like those messages. That's the trouble. He's really happy that he's got someone who goes surfing with a friend message. Hey Buddy. That's when I finish. I'm just going to plod along with that and see how that goes. What about you? That's all we've got[inaudible] from James. How many are I met with this? Just get this moving fast. Acting all up in my little click them and they some older ones, some older ones as some of them were about two years old. Why are you still messaging them? I need to fulfill my fragile sense of self. Occasionally go back and look at them to boost my shattered ego. No, that's good, but I don't know that you 10 count, but for you we're going to count your 10. You've all been chatting on chatting two for four. One's got two kids. I am six two little guy back there and the birthday parties. Horrible man. Who's all in going to stick it out during the parties. That's kept me out. That's not you. I don't want a child coming in. Can you read me a Story? That's a will. That's, that'll be like tonight. It's 10 past one. What time? He's a catch. Want to be one very patient woman. Great. Where are you going? Uh Huh. Uh Huh. Yes. I can see circling is made by you, but their phones on silent slowly for basically a big open space. I'm going to be that name now. I'm going to wait. I'm not, I'm going to avoid wearing a cartoon t-shirt such as my nude and me, but that's sort of, you know, can be quite sexy and attractive. Maybe that's a security guard following me around in the supermarket today. My pockets full of shoe shopping and I had my bags and I went back in because I needed a drink of water and it was a big hill so I went back in there and you could sit down and watch them periods suspicious. Yeah, I pretty much, I'm just wondering, up and down the ultimatum past at work too. So it made them just following me around, following me around, picking up tomatoes. They were looking at them, putting them back. Then I'm going to wear a just a blue and white shirts. Droppy makes me look shabby. Curious or something for my, uh, feedback next Sunday on your, yes. Woo. Awesome. Shall we wrap around here? No, actually thank you. But we have gone off topic a little bit. What we'd like to talk and what to put in your bio or what not to put in your profile so we can cover that off. Literally ask you one question. What is an absolute deal breaker? Inappropriate. Yes. We would love your feedback. Everybody can you play? I'm not interested in feedback. I'll never read it all. I live in my own universe. He does live in his own universe. Should have seen the preparation for this this morning. But you know, he cooked me breakfast, he's fed me. I'm really happy with that and just keeping focused. I don't have any dates l ined up for the coming week. I've got my k ids, so I'll just be doing some prep work. You've got one date that's already s tarted. You're just not there. And that's really great. I can't wait to hear her patience. We'd love to hear and you can just pop in the comments below what turns you off in s omebody's profile and if y ou're not on Internet apps at the minute or you h aven't been in the past. It could be something like a drug that tiger, a fish in the photo. That's a classic. That is a classic classic deleted. I delete any cat photos. I see a lot of women on standup paddleboards no, no. Out of my league too. To my self esteem after a girl with low self esteem. If I can get someone down then I don't have to break down. Instantly, instantly trying to on themselves trying to improve themselves. No, no for you. Good that you know where you're at. Yeah. Sorry.
