The Break-Up Diet - Why Am I Single? Because I Have Standards!

Episode Date: March 6, 2025

Have you ever felt the sting of being asked, "Why are you single?" You're not alone. In this episode, we unravel the societal pressures surrounding singlehood and confront the uncomfortable questions that come with it. Together, we share personal experiences and frustrations about the seemingly innocuous yet patronizing inquiries that many face daily. The discussion dives into the notion of being "too picky"—a phrase that often leaves individuals feeling judged for having standards. We seek to debunk myths surrounding relationships and single status, illuminating the difference between self-value and societal expectations. Through engaging conversation, we explore the importance of discerning selection in partners, asking whether these “helpful” comments can sometimes do more harm than good. Listeners will find refreshing insights into navigating dating life while maintaining personal integrity, as we share laughs and relatable stories about the complexities of entering the dating scene. Whether you're currently single, dating, or simply want to connect more meaningfully with those around you, this lively discussion is guaranteed to resonate. We encourage everyone to reflect on their own experiences and redefine the narrative around singlehood.

Oh my gosh, I am so passionate about this episode because I feel like I am such a target to society because I am single. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The patronizing questions I get asked, yes? No, I know. I was single for a long time. My whole, my whole teenage years and like,

Yeah, your early 20s basically. So I know I'm very familiar with. It's so patronising. It's so condescending. People talk to you as if you've got a disability. Yeah. Like why haven't you found someone? It makes you feel like you're not. Good enough. Yeah. Yeah. But then I just want to retaliate and be like,

why are you with a loser man? Buckle up, bitches., it's gonna get bumpy. This is the breakup diet. I'd rather have people ask me, oh why are you single then? Oh why is she with this loser guy? Yeah but that's you now but I feel like a few years ago you might not have the same thing. Yeah, no. Because for me, before I was in a relationship, I would have taken those comments way more

personally than that. Like, I wouldn't be thinking, oh, I would be thinking in my head, oh, but I don't want to be with that guy anyway, but it would still hurt. Like those comments, it doesn't hurt but after you get everybody saying the same thing all the time you start to be like yeah what is wrong? Is there something wrong with me? Why can't I keep a man? Yeah why why can't I even keep the douchebag man? Yeah the one that no one wants. Why can't I keep him? Yeah why is he playing me? Yeah yeah why is he dumping me? What are some annoying things that you've heard that people say to you? Oh, you know what I can't lie, there's a list written.

There is a long list. This shouldn't be, but it is annoying, is when somebody's like, why are you single? I don't know. I'm single because I'm actually just so perfect and no one's good enough. Yeah, like you tell me. Like I thought it shouldn't be annoying. It should be a nice, well not nice, but it should just be a question. just so perfect and no one's good enough. Yeah, like you tell me. Like I thought it shouldn't be annoying.

It should be a nice, well not nice, but it should just be a question, but that is annoying. It's annoying and it's hard because it's like one of the first topic of conversations when you meet someone new. I feel like relationships come up almost straight away in most scenarios. And yeah, if you're always repeating being being like I'm single and they're like

oh no why or how come you're like after the 10th time saying it maybe that week you're like oh my god like I don't know an annoying thing I think would be and somebody's like yeah but you're too picky what am I not meant to have standards? God forbid I don't want to be with any bum. Yeah. God forbid. Just because you can. Just because your husband's a bum or your boyfriend's a bum? Yeah. Just because you're able to have that doesn't mean I want it.

Yeah. If you feel like you've won, cool. Something else that's super annoying if somebody says, so, OK, so why are you single? You're too picky. Or when they go, you'll find someone when you stop looking. Oh, shut up. Shut up. You were looking. You were looking. And you found it. So why can't I look?

Yeah. And everyone's like, when you're not looking. How else are you meant to find someone if you're not looking? Yeah, you're meant to just be like going about your day and stuff. And he just falls to the ground? Yeah, but to be honest, if I didn't have a boyfriend, right, and I was just not looking,

I don't leave my house enough. Same. You know? Same. I have to go out, I'd have to go out, and to go out, you're looking. Yeah. So. Even if you're going out with your friends, you to go out, you're looking. Yeah. Even if you're going out with your friends, you're still looking. You're looking, you are.

You know that. You are. Like I am for sure. Whenever we're out, yes, I have no intention to get with anyone, but I'm like, hmm, sussing the territory. Yeah, you gotta see- I'm looking. You're looking. You gotta see the surroundings.

Exactly! You know what I find annoying is when relatives and like family friends always ask, and I know they're just being nice, like, oh, have you, do you have a boyfriend yet? Or have you found anyone? Or how's your dating life going? Like, fine!

Like, if I have something and I want to tell you, I'll tell you. Yeah, if not, just assume I'm too sexy to be with anyone, I don't know. Elma, I was thinking about it. Like, I know that relationships always come up. So people are always asking about other people's, you know, relationships and what they're doing

and all that. I get that, but why do you think people feel the need to comment on someone's status or really invest themselves in knowing? I don't understand it either. I just think it's really nosy and unnecessary. But then to be fair, do you ask other people if they are? I think I do. Yeah, same. I'm guilty. Crap, I'm guilty. But I don't think I've ever been like, how are you single? Why are you single?

I don't think I've ever done that. It's more like, are you seeing anyone? Are you dating? Yeah. Yeah. I could never do that to someone. It's just mean. Yeah, like why are you single?

That just makes that person feel like... I don't know. Sure, yeah. What do you mean to reply to that? What do you mean to reply to that? What are you meant to reply to that? I ask you right now, why are you single? Because I literally went through a divorce. Okay, you are a bit of an exchange.

I have an exception. I thought you were gonna say, because I hate all men, but you didn't. To be honest, that, I think that part, that's probably why I haven't found a second husband yet, because I hate all men. Have you ever said something to a friend when you've been in a relationship that was mildly insulting that you can remember and you've been like, shit, I wasn't meant to say that?

Or, you know, if you have word vomit? Oh my god, there are so many times, say with people in relationships, in shitty relationships, I do get fed up quite easily and I go, why with them? Like if you're gonna waste this entire dinner bitching about your boyfriend, why with them? I feel like that's valid though, if they're always doing it. If it's not like a one-time vent or something. Yeah, when it's constantly and that partner's proven to like treat them like badly. Yeah, yeah. I said something awkward that I just remembered.

What? That person was cheating and I said like, oh yeah, but you would never go for that guy because he's a cheater. Or like he does that. And that person I know for a fact is a cheater. So like I didn't remember being like, oh, well you shouldn't, but oh, that's awkward. You know what I mean?

And then you're, but, but like, it's a, I don't know. Yeah. Like that you have to like roll out of it and say something else. That's awkward. Like, but you shouldn't cheat for stuff. So, exactly keep it in your pants! This was back when you were single. What's the worst thing someone said to you about your relationship

status as a single person? Say growing up. I don't know. My only thing that really annoyed me or like was bad for me was just like, when someone was like like you'll find someone or like um how did you respond to that? Like thinking in my head when? Send them to me. I mean give me a crystal ball let me manifest it. Please. You know but I feel like if they haven't come yet they're gonna come and then you'll got a good egg. I hope? But I feel like if they haven't come yet, they're going to come and then you'll got a good egg.

I hope so. But I feel like there's a lot of rotten eggs in the market. There are a lot of rotten eggs. But if you find a good egg, you got a good egg. Yeah, you keep them. What do you think is worse, if somebody says you're too picky or if they're like, you'll find someone when you stop looking? Which comment to you personally is worse?

I think the pickiness is really insulting. I think it's so insulting because you're basically telling me I'm the problem that I, God forbid, I have standards. God forbid that you're threatened by me having standards that you have to make this dig at me for being picky allegedly. Yeah, because also why? You're just meant to go for any riffraff. Yeah, genuinely. I think now that I'm a bit older and more experienced, I am really snappy with that kind of conversation. I just go, sorry, I'm not desperate. That's why I'm not picky. Yeah, fair. But then somebody could also say it and not be meaning it. That's quite an

easy cop out to be like, you're too picky. Like, you know, it's annoying, but then I'll just be like, teach me your ways. I say that it's annoying when you know, when your parents are asking, when your parents' friends are asking, like if you have a boyfriend,

if you have a girlfriend, whatever. What should they actually do? Because it is just a point of conversation and they're not meaning it, but it is so offensive to somebody in the wrong context. And also if you always hear that, it is at one point going to be embedded in your brain. Yeah, it'll just mess with my self esteem, I don't need that. But what should they actually say then?

Because I don't think they're trying to be mean or anything. But what is something they could say? I don't mind when people are like, are you seeing anyone? Are you dating anyone? That is a normal question. But when I say no to that and people go, oh, you're probably being too picky. It's like that. You don't like it? Those comments afterwards should just be so non-existent. So if somebody after, what would they say? Oh, okay, that's it.

And then the conversation. Yeah, just end the conversation. Talk about something else. Do we have to sit and talk about men all the time? Not necessarily men. We're not talking about, don't go on a rant. Sorry. Not necessarily, we're talking about just men. Because you've been in a marriage and you've been single and you've been in a relationship obviously.

Yeah. Is there anything that you thought was different about one or the other? I think you're definitely respected more when you have someone with you by your side. Why do you think that is? I have no idea, I don't get it but single people are not respected as much as married people are. Married or like relationship? Married and relationship-y. But do you think that's just a personal thing that for you you feel that in some way? It might be a personal reflection of

just what I've experienced Or do you think it's because everyone is so programmed in defining someone? I think so too because you're already with someone they're like, oh she's good. What about that one? She's not with someone. Why?

Yeah. Like, why is she not making the effort? Yeah. And also I think it's so different between men and women because like a man. Men don't get that pressure. No. Isn't that weird? And if a man is single, they, people don't really care as much.

Yeah. They'd be understanding yeah they'd be like oh he's building his career you know he's just not there yet what some things that you know will instantly turn a man off so they'll they won't want to get into a relationship with you so have you seen the movie how to loseose Guy in 10 Days? Yeah, to be basically over keen, super clingy, all of the above. Have you ever made a scrapbook of a guy and printed out your future? Hell no! I made a scrapbook of all my best friends but not a guy, have you?

No. Oh my god! I wouldn't. Would people even do that? Make a little Pinterest board? I mean it was in the movie. Have you ever been in love, right, and then looked up, wedding ring, oh you by me got married.

Yeah. Have you? Yeah. Have you? Do you have like a dream wedding in mind? No, I haven't got. I haven't got that. Dream ring in mind? Yeah, very big rock.

No, I'm joking. I'm not joking. Minimum five carat. Minimum. No, but I have, I have, I've not like consciously looked it up, but TikTok listens to you. It does.

It knows what you secretly want and it's come up on my for you. And then I've been like, oh, that's nice. All right, so we're gonna see a five carat oval cut ring on your TikTok very soon. But I don't have an ideal wedding, but I wanna do a destination. Oh my God, of course.

I don't want a big wedding though. I want maps like 20 to 50 people, really small. Oh, that's amazing. In like Hawaii. Please, that's amazing. In like Hawaii. Please, that would be amazing. Are single people allowed? Yeah. Did you have a single table at your wedding?

Like a... No, I don't think so. Cause that's a thing. Yeah, and it's always next to the kids. Always next to the kids table. It's very insulting. But do you think that is a nice thing that the married people are doing?

Like putting all the singles in being like, this is the jungle, welcome. Here you go, find each other. Yeah, or is it kind of insulting? Like, do you really need them to do that? You know? I think it'd be fun. Because you'd be like forced to meet new people.

It could be fun. But then are you going to get embarrassed because everybody knows like Yeah, I think that's the whole single table. Yeah, that would be embarrassing. But the idea of being sat with other single people that you know who are definitely single. I quite like that. Yeah. Yeah, just don't call it a single table

yeah but why is it so much shame over it? I don't get it there's nothing wrong with us there isn't there's nothing wrong with me no nothing but there's the difference in being like single in a relationship I don't even think, unless you're a simp and you totally change into- Because like if we look at you and I, I don't see you any different as someone in the relationship, if that makes sense. You're not like so wrapped up and simpy and just living under your boyfriend's shadow.

You're still your own independent person. So I don't see how we're so different, how we're made to feel like we're so different because I'm single and you're still your own independent person. So I don't see how we're so different, how we're made to feel like we're so different because I'm single and you're not. Yeah, but I, yeah, we don't think so, but there definitely is to feel. I don't know, I think there's the shame that goes with it. That's why, which it shouldn't be,

because you just haven't found your person, which is hard. Yeah. But there is a shame feeling that comes from it. Yeah, I don't like it. Like, I feel that because it's like, I wonder if people think, oh she couldn't keep her mouth, she couldn't keep her heart's burned or... Yeah, you see, I've never thought that when I've seen you. It's all in your head, isn't it? It's literally all in your head.

Crazy. So maybe we're like our worst enemies. Maybe everyone else is just being super nice and genuine when they say, Oh, you'll find someone. Yeah, they could be, but they could also be like a little cut too, I feel. Yeah, like really catty. Yeah. People can be so catty about it. Oh, I hate it when people like look, there's this type of look that some girls,

I specifically know with girls and be like, Oh really? And look you like, you know? Like you're not interested in finding someone. Oh, everyone has needs. That is annoying thing and it's so gross. So gross. It's like, no, I'm not gonna be with someone because of needs.

Yeah. Ew. Like keep it in your pants. Yeah, keep that thought in your head. Yeah. Ew. Like keep it in your pants. Yeah keep that thought in your head. Yeah literally. Can we play a game? Yeah. Another round of truth or myth single people edition. Okay. Do you think it's easier to find love when you're younger? Yes. Truth. Yeah because your front lobe hasn't developed. But yeah but also I feel like because it's scary. That's why it's so scary because you don't want to waste your own time. Also when you're younger.

But then there's so many. That's a bigger pool because people get married. People move. They might have been a potential people. I don't know how things happen. And then it gets smaller and smaller. 100 percent. I feel like that's already a small amount of good, decent...

It's crazy because we're like, because of social media, we're more connected with people than ever in this world. You know, we've got more access to people yet the pond is getting murkier. You know what I find really weird is that I know a lot of single girls, same, everything going for them, but they don't have anyone right? But then the guy that I wouldn't necessarily say that or like lots of men that I wouldn't necessarily say that have relationships. that have relationships? Mm, I don't get it either. Is it because women, um...

Is it because men are intimidated by like gorgeous, smart, independent women? And that's why they're still single? I was gonna say is it because women put up with way more shit? Oh, that would do. Women put up way too much. Like they're like, Oh, he does this and he does this, but he cheats on me, but it's fine. Cause he does everything else. It's so embarrassing. Women need more shame. Oh, it's like triggering because I've got so many friends I've put up with the worst men.

Yet I'm the one that's got the problem for being single. Yeah. Not them for having low self esteesteem, but it's me. I can't deal with it anymore. And if you're, so you're single right? Do you go on dates? I haven't in a while. I know I need to. Something I find really frustrating is that you're going on these dates, right? And nothing's quite learning. Like the guy, he's okay. But you have to keep going on these first dates and recycling the same kind of topics. Like what'd you do? Oh, I don't think I could do that again. It's boring. Yeah, it's like a first round interview over and over again.

Yeah. And it's just like an endless loop. You just feel like all the dates are the same. They all mesh into one. Yeah, they literally do. Yeah. It's hard to make a standout. So what's something that you would say or do to stand out in your dates?

Cause guys probably think the same thing. Not when they mean me. Yeah. Okay. Actually give people good advice. Okay. Um, I think the way honestly I stand out is just the shit that I've been through. Like, I feel like you won't forget that divorce 20 something year old. Mm.

You know? So I think I kind of have that as my little like... Selling point. Unique selling point. Yeah, I was going to say unique selling point. I don't know what I'm selling. Yeah, myself, my personality. I think it might just be me being really outrageous and blunt.

That kind of is my... How do you stop people going on these boring dates? Like how are you gonna keep it? I'm scared to jump back in. Like I know I need to find someone. Like everyone needs like a little partnership. It's nice to have someone to rely on. I know I need that.

I just... It's the repetitiveness of the first date that I'm really dreading. Yeah. What do you prefer to do on a first date? Would you prefer to go for drinks or would you prefer to go for dinner? What's going on?

Okay, it's crazy because back in the day, I used to be like dinner minimum. I have to like be treated well, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm like, I don't know if I could sit through an blah blah blah now I'm like I don't know if I could sit through an entire three course meal with someone that I haven't met before yes a lot but then I don't want to do drinks because I don't want them to think that I'm like just this easy cheap like drinks girl and I don't really drink that much anyway what about like coffee day but coffee day

isn't sexy it's like I don't think's... I get where they're going with them. Lots of guys ask that for us, but I just don't think... I don't think it's the one. I don't think it's the one either. Like a coffee date? I'll get this. A walking date. I've never ever...

That just shouldn't be a date. No. That's not a date. 100%. Unless it's COVID, that's not a date. Like, that's the only time I'd say that that was acceptable. Yeah. No. Disg disgusting, right?

So I'm just in like a bit of a conundrum where it's like, okay, a walking date in my neighborhood, easy, quick one hour, get the date done. But then at the same time, I don't want them to think that I'm low maintenance because I'm not. No, no, no, I get you. But also a walking date, that's... Disgusting! Guys, you need to, if you're taking But also, walking, that's, no. Disgusting. Guys, you need to, if you're taking a girl out. Level it the fuck up.

Yeah, if you're taking a girl out, you need to take her to a dark, sexy restaurant. Not party, but like dark, moody kind of lighting. Romantic restaurant with like candlelight, all that. You need to have like date spots. Good date spots. Oh, episode idea. Go on. Okay.

Castle Cruise, Notting Hill. Love Castle Cruise. That was my first date spot. Love. Mandrake Hotel. Kind of party though, but kind of sexy drinks vibe. Really sexy vibe. Yeah, where else? I feel like in London, Notting Hill is a good one because it's kind of, it's not.

It's cutesy. It's cutesy. But it's not too aggressive like Soho. Yeah. I also feel like gold in Notting Hill would be a good day as well. Yeah, gold is gorgeous. I do really like a rooftop drink at night. Yeah, that is cute.

Yeah, like drinks rooftop drink at night. Yeah, that is cute. Yeah, like drinks at the Shard. I do love that. In the evening, watching the sunset. I've never done that. Well, let me take you. If your boyfriend doesn't mind. Hope I've got your blessing.

You can spoil me a little. Okay, I am ready to. What are you wearing on a first date? I always wear something high neck, modest-ish. I don't want to like show them everything at once. Are you wearing trousers, skirt? Are you wearing what? Your go-to, more.

You're wearing heels. Heels, definitely, like kitten heels, bare minimum. And I think a skirt, I haven't really done trousers before unless it was like really cold yeah yeah I think I'm always wearing a skirt or something on a date yeah you feel very girly but that's just I want to feel feminine and pretty yeah yeah I just want to feel sexy yeah not too sexy like you have it but you're not showing it there's a balance to it there's a balance are you wearing lots of makeup or not really? No. it. There's a balance to it. There's a balance. Are you wearing lots of

makeup or not really? No. No. What did you wear to your first date with your boyfriend? Okay so I wore all black basically. So I had a black skirt on not too short I think it was like to like just not the knee but like in between the knee and the naughty area. The perfect balance. Yeah the perfect balance and then with um tights like the quite sheer tights um black blazer halter neck backless top but you couldn't tell unless I took off my blazer. And then red high knee high boots. Oh my God, that's a sexy look. That is a vibe. And then I had like eyeliner, but not lip gloss. That kind of vibe. So they balance a bit more.

Ties in the look together. I love it. And then I always have my hair down on the first date. Same. I don't know why. I always have my hair down on the first date. Same. I don't know why. I feel very vulnerable with my hair up, actually. I feel more feminine when I have like all this just everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. And then you know why I wore red? Why?

Because apparently red is like if you have something red on a date, even if it's your lipstick is a bit of a tone of red or I don't know it's meant to attract the other person. Yeah yeah I've heard about that the red nail theory that is such a it's true. You see I don't like red nails on me I feel like a actual whore. It would look good on you. I'm not gonna lie. I feel like an actual slug. Like a wine red would look sexy on you. No, no, no, no, no. I feel like a slug. No. I'm not kidding you.

Try it. I have. I felt raunchy. I'm not even kidding. It's the weirdest thing. Yeah, it is a very bold color. I'm always like, am I giving hookah? Yeah.

Even though I like red, but I just didn't like it on me. No, it's sexy. Anyway, I know that that works, the red theory, because to this day, he has, he remembers my red boots. Oh. So then when I got up for the bathroom, I had these red boots. Wait, so that answers the question. That's how you stand out on dates. Wear something something red. Yeah a little hint of red. Amazing could it be a bag? Yeah I think so.

Okay yeah. Say hint of red. I love that. All black all black hint of red. Actually I could give you coaching tips. I don't feel like I'm negative dating though, to be honest. Please! Okay, this is so much more productive than being asked, oh, why are you single? I like this. Okay, tell me, tell me, tell me, I'm ready. Coaching tips? Yes. God.

Eye contact. But not in a creepy stalker way, like this, you know? You gotta give like a more like, okay, I got it, ready? You gotta do like a little like, look down, smile, look up, you know, you gotta give like a more like, okay, I got it, ready? You gotta do like a little like, look down, smile, look up, you know? I have a lazy eye, my left eye is gonna dart in a different direction. That's why you go to a dark restaurant. So they don't see my lazy eye. Also, I would turn up maybe not too late because it's rude if you're too late,

but you don't want to be the first late, but you don't wanna be the first on there and you don't wanna. Oh yikes, I'd show up five minutes before to get the table. No, that's his job. I will program into my day 10 minutes, which I'm never late. Yeah. But I'm not late because I've done it on purpose, you know?

So that they're waiting, they're sweating a bit, you know? And then you come in, they're already sat at the table and you're like, hi, I'm so sorry, like a little late. You know? But not too late, too late's rude. Too late is so rude, but yeah, 10 minutes. Okay, I can do that instead of getting there early. Yeah, you know, don't get there early.

Okay, eye contact, 10 minutes sleep. Something red. Something red. Ask lots of questions. Okay. You know? And when they're... Obviously this goes in eye contact.

But when they're telling you, you gotta be enthusiastic even if you think it's the most boring shit ever. How do you fake it? Because you can, like, my expressions will say it. You've got to get a little more Botox and then just like numb the muscle. No. I've paralysed my face as it is from Turkey. How much more? I feel like, I feel like you got this. You just gotta,

you just gotta smile and smile away. What if on my first date back in this scene could you be the... I'm being dead serious yes? I am so nervous. I'm not even talking to anyone but the idea is really daunting. I feel like you need a pep talk before you go in it. You need to have one drink. I had two shots before I left which is like a lot but I felt I needed it. I was nervous. Maybe let's meet at a bar next door or something, you and I. But what isn't a fun question you could ask somebody that isn't just like, what do you do?

What's your body count? Do you have any diseases? Ew, do you not ask them what your body count is on your first date? Seriously, is that bad? That's giving you wanna have sex straight away. That's giving desperate energy. Oh really?

If somebody asked me, if a guy asked me what is your body count on a first date. Oh if a man asks me that I'd be like, oh I'm leaving. I would never talk to that person ever again. Oh ever again, no, no, no, no. And if a girl asks that, number one, he's probably not gonna tell you the truth and if he's like, oh yeah.

100, I'd walk out, I'd walk anything over two, I'm walking out. Yeah, so you're setting yourself up to fail. Don't listen to that. Definitely ask, be like. How much money do you make? No. Elmer, you already know it

because you stole their LinkedIn. Love you. Yes, but I just want to know for sure. Good, no, okay, we need better. Okay, another unique question. They're all kind of boring to be honest. Yeah, I was gonna say what's your star sign back? You don't really know much about it. No, we don't want to talk about that.

No, that's so boring. Also, you know what I find weird? Have you committed a crime? Petty theft? I don't know where you're finding these vets that you have to ask these questions. Curiosity, sometimes the smoothest criminals look like the cleanest people. Yeah, that is true. So you need questions. You're not helping me.

I'm finding you need questions, but they're not good. No, I don't need help though. No, I'm asking you to help me. I know, but I have to think back. I'm not in the moment. You've got to be in the moment. I just ask them a lot of questions so I don't have to speak a lot. Same, I quite like that.

They sound, it sounds like you're really interested. Even if you are interested, when you're on a first date, you're nervous. I'm nervous. I hate talking about myself. You know what I find really awkward on a first date? So this is really embarrassing actually. I have a really bad thing of when I get a bit nervous,

I sweat on my face. And I cannot control it. It's not my armpits, it's nothing else. Or if I get like, not even nervous, just a bit flustered of some sort, I don't know why. Like at first date, I'll get a solar. I'm not even fucking with you. So now I've got good habits of having to...

Yeah. They turn around and... Ah! Why is it getting on my shoulder? That's why you gotta wear black or something. Yeah, yeah, but it won't your foundation stand out. No, I seem to be okay with that. Nice, transfer proof makeup.

Come on Fenty Beauty. I have a really bad story though, that is really embarrassing. Oh my god, you have to tell me. So I'm on my first date and um, so I'm on my first date and I'm in the car, I'll call my friend on the way because I'm like talking about it whatever, like feeling like, uh, met this guy out. Um, my friend had, knew somebody who had dated him before, they're not a close friend or anything, just like someone she knew, and she was telling me, T on the guy, right?

Which is probably the worst thing you can do when you're in the car, it's too late, you're on the way. But she was telling me. Anyway, she told me something really rough, okay? No, no, no, I can't say what it was, but it was like something that I was like, oh god, like this. What am I walking into? What am I walking into?

But it was too late. Oda already said I was on the way, I already committed, I wasn't gonna, you know what I mean? I mean, what happened? Anyway, so we go to this restaurant and I walk in and straight away I like get this wave of being really hot. I'm like, oh my god, oh my god, I start sweating. Shit, like I can feel it like a swimming pool on my face.

Right? I'm like, oh my god, oh my god, I'm gonna have to go to the bathroom as soon as I get there. Like as in I said hi and then I was like, I could just feel that it was not going. And so I go to the bathroom, I'm like, oh my god, I need to fix this. There was like a hand towel, not hand towel, but like the napkin, not napkin, so it was like paper. Anyway, I start blotting my face because I'm like, I need to like, you know, fix myself,

chill out, calm, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe. In the mirror like this, floating my face, I like, it starts like taking off my makeup a bit. I'm like, I was fine, like fix it, fix it. Loading my face, pulling in there for like 10 minutes when you first walk in. The lighting was quite dark in this bathroom. I walked out with bits of fucking like toilet paper, low-tea on my face, white bits.

And I didn't notice, And then like an hour later, I went to the bathroom again after I was fine and not having a sweat attack. And I looked at myself and I had bits of like basically toilet paper on my face for an hour. Oh my God. How embarrassing is that? Was he, did he?

It was very embarrassing. Was it chunky bits? Or like visible enough? Visible enough. Oh yes. The bathroom was like, was light, darker than in the restaurant for sure. Oh come on, the bathroom has to be lighter than the restaurant, what the hell? Yeah.

Anyway, so actually if you hear something on the way, just don't go. Do yourself a favour. Just turn around, just turn the car around. Otherwise God will give you some signs, like I got a sweat attack, hear something on the way, just don't go. Do yourself a favor. Just turn the car around. God will give you some signs like I got a sweat attack, toilet paper on the face and a date where I had to do a duck and dive. What's your ideal date that you would be going on soon? Probably an ice restaurant, I can't lie.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the man, not the fucking venue. You're like, I want to eat. Give me venue. Sorry. You're like, I wanna eat. Just wanna eat. Give me some nice steak. Yeah. Like it? I just want someone that's interesting. You have a good story. I know, but it's hard to find someone within that level, like our level.

I don't think you have to be matched. I know, but I just don't want to be bored. I'm obviously gonna be the more interesting one. It's hard when... Nah, you're not obviously going to be the more passing hard like, come on. You will find someone like that. I feel like sometimes you've got to probe them.

Would you say I'd find them if I'm not looking? You would find them if you're not looking. That's how you're going to find them. So, should we not look? Yeah, not look. You look for me. I'll look for you. Yeah. Oh my God.

I'm just sorry. You just figured something in me that I find so annoying. Girls that do this, you need to knock it out. Guys probably, I don't know if guys do this, but girls, you need to knock it out. It is so annoying when somebody says, and they said this, somebody said this, when they're just like,

but I'm just like a relationship girl. Oh my God. I'm like, but I'm just like a relationship girl. Oh my God. I'm like. You're a doormat. That's what I'm hearing. No, no, no. I'm like, thanks. I needed to know that.

Cool. You've had more than one relationship. Cool. You, you are with someone. You with all the boyfriends. Well done. We had that the other day. And for me, you guys boyfriend, I was so triggered by it. You know what I mean? An ally.
