Melissa, are you a doctor?
I want to be, but I'm not.

me with a poem and I also have a really juicy story
from my friend about a breakup.
The day that we recorded this,
I actually got baggled in the morning,
so I reveal all of the details about that,
and I also let you guys in on a little secret.
I once had an orgasm at the gym.
This week's dilemmas include a tiny
who's potentially getting the ick
with some socks going on in the bedroom,
and then another tiny who's a little bit insecure
about getting glasses. Enjoy the episode.
We are back and we are back and that's all that you know.
There's always a sing song that comes out a little bit. Also, can we just do Sophie's ability to like
just riff poems, it
freaks me out and I would love for you to do one for me one day. Okay, I can do one today.
I don't know what happens when I watch it, I'm like it's so good, I'm like she's definitely
rehearsed that. That's why my life happens. I just don't get how it's so good. Oh but I'm so
jet lagged today, right, should I give it a go? Yeah, yeah. Melissa Tatum, you are the greatest
friend and you definitely know how to bend.
But when you drink coffee, you sometimes get a bit toffee.
This is really bad.
Toffee?
Toffee.
And you like to dance.
You definitely know how to prance.
And you love your boyfriend Toby, even though he sometimes can be a bit of Adobe.
You eat very healthy, nutritious food.
And you are such a cool dude.
I love you.
You're the greatest friend.
Don't ever forget to stop and stop and stop and sorry, if we gave her an hour, she'd
be like writing like books of poetry. Pinky Studio, move out of the way. Sorry, you're so good at this, I can't get over it.
Did you do the ink, no I mean deadly serious.
I did.
English, yes.
Yeah, that's why.
Okay, so guys, I've had a bit of a traumatic morning.
Oh my God, you have.
We actually got attempted to be burgled this morning.
An attempted burglary.
Because like I kept, I texted everyone,
we just got robbed and everyone was like,
oh my God, are you okay?
Also robbed is different to being,
do you think it was burgled?
I think robbed is when you're physically there
and they take it off of you and you know it's happening.
Basically, I don't wanna give too much,
I'm a bit wary of the whole situation,
but someone tried to break into our apartment
at six a.m. this morning.
I was fast asleep, I woke up to Jamie,
very calm, I may add,
going, Sophie, we're getting bagels. You need to get up. Put your shoes on. We need to leave.
And I was just like, what? And so I just stayed. He then rushed back downstairs. He didn't
stay with me. So I just stayed in bed because I thought, oh, he said the police are coming.
10 policemen came. It was unbelievable.
Well, that's amazing service.
Maybe there were two vans of policemen.
Wow.
Like serious, they were so amazing.
One of them looked and sounded like Luca Bish.
And all I was thinking was saying to him, you haven't told you look like Luca Bish.
Like I was being so coy and weird.
I was in, can I just tell you what I was wearing?
Do you get sent those pajamas by that company?
I reckon you did.
They send me loads of ones and they used to send them for you and me. I used to just keep both pairs.
But I don't actually wear PJs.
Exactly.
So it's fine. We'll let you off.
Anyway, they're very geeky, really comfy, soft, but the tip of the tip will button up with ankle
clangers. These ones in particular are white with gingerbread men on.
Oh my God, cute.
So I'm head to toe in that pajamas. I've got my hair kind of blow dried still when I wake up. It's done. Yes. Ankle clangers. These ones in particular are white with gingerbread men on. Oh my God, cute.
So I'm head to toe in that pajamas.
I've got my hair like kind of blow dried still when I wake up.
A hair mask on.
My alchemy is in a puff jacket and I'm just stood outside.
I just thought, they must just think, God, you're thirsty.
No.
Look at you.
I feel like PJs is such a lovely like ritual.
One of my other friends like loves pajamas.
Actually, two of my friends love pajamas and she's like, I love just showering, putting my moisturizer on and putting on my lovely matching ritual. One of my other friends like loves pajamas. Actually two of my friends love pajamas and she's like, I love just showering, putting my moisturiser on and putting
on my lovely matching set. I feel like put together for bed. I was like, so cute. I'm
not like that. I'm not in like matching pajamas. I'm not okay. Like I really, really love pajamas.
So what do you sleep in then? Naked. So, but when you get out the shower, are you putting
on trackies and the dressing gown? And you're sitting on the sofa naked with the dressing gown?
Oh, sometimes, yes. But most of the time I'll put trackies on.
Trackies on for like mincing and like cooking dinner.
And no top? No, obviously I'll put a top on. I'm not
just going to walk around with my baps out. So you just wear like cozy comfy.
Yeah.
But if I'm showering right before bed, I'm obviously not going to put clothes on to go
into bed.
God, I'm like a shower before dinner sometimes.
I love doing that.
If I've got time, I will do that.
But now I'm eating dinner so early, like 6 p.m., I don't have the time.
Talk to me about that.
Is that a new health ritual?
I just get hungry earlier.
Me too.
And I think because I've got myself into that pattern, I can't wait till 7.
I'm like, oh.
I know, me too.
I'm like, oh, I know me too. Starving.
And then you're like, you just can't possibly go home and get in pajamas at 530.
So you're like, yeah.
I will say that sometimes I'll sleep in Jamie's boxers and it is breathtakingly comfy. You must
try it. Like I've never in my life. In fact, when I was in New York, I went out and bought men's
boxers because I was like, I just need comfort to sleep in.
So what are we talking?
We talking like the more fitted ones, we're not talking those loose, cotton, short ones.
No, but we're not talking like his calving clients are a bit fitted and like the linings
a bit like you can feel it.
He actually had really cheap ones, like they were private part ones.
I don't know where they were from.
And obviously he never wore his private part ones.
So I just kept them and they are like next level comfort. They're
so thin and like loose, but like there's no like weird lining in them. Cause that like
goes up in the wrong area.
It does go up in the wrong area. I have worn Toby's boxes before where I literally just,
it has like a pouch for where they're like willy would be. I find it so weird saying
they were willy.
It's quite comfy cause that pouch is just like.
It is quite comfy, but then it does kind of make me look like I've got a wheelie.
And I was like, it's freaking me out a little bit, but-
Okay.
So talking about the burglary, Jamie sees this guy hedging his way in with a hammer
into the flat below us, trying to climb up into our apartment.
He goes in, he calls 999, the police come within literally five minutes.
We go outside, we check all of the things.
The jumper's been left. The burglar's left his jumper. Oh, well, we check all of things. A jumper's
been left. The burglar's left his jumper.
Oh, well, he's left his DNA.
I know. I'm thinking-
Do a little swab.
That's what I'm thinking. I wonder whether they just don't do it.
Silent witness vibes.
Yeah. Anyway, we go out and then there's these two laundry guys who are obviously on the
road giving laundry. So then we think it's them because they've got these high vis jackets
on. The guy had high vis on. So we're being really sketchy. We don't tell them why we're
out in the middle of the road in our pajamas before the policeman
comes. They go, you're all right, mate? And we're like, yeah, we're good. Thanks. Like
trying to be really coy, just waiting for the police head down. We're like, they probably
are going to like kill us.
They'll maybe look out people.
Exactly. It just looked really weird. They were coming out from the side anyway. Then
the police come and they're like, we just saw a guy on a moped with a
balaclava. He tried to go down this way. He's gone up that way. But the guy climbed through a pub.
He then put loads of furniture up to try and climb.
So he broke into the pub first?
Broke into the pub, climbed over there all to get to our flat, which is just fucking creepy.
And like all of this furniture is there because he's obviously been trying to like hang into us. So can you just imagine the fact if I come down in the morning, because this is
at 6am, I get up at 6am and saw some dude roll, karate rolling in through my kitchen
window.
Scary. Okay, moving on. Guys, I need to tell you this story. I've been given permission
by my friend to tell the story. I'm really excited about the man I had.
Just to give you context is dating this guy. So she's been single, she's been on a few dates with a few guys and she was like, no, I really like this one. And I was really excited about the man I had. Just to give you context is dating this guy.
So she's been single,
she's been on a few dates with a few guys
and she was like, no, really like this one.
And I was really keen, he was really gorgeous.
She was like, he's a bit like different to me,
like a bit niche and a bit like sort of quirky,
very outdoorsy, like loves to windsurf,
which I was personally like, not for me.
Anyway, they were having a lot of fun.
They'd been dating for like three or four months.
And he was like, look, I know it's like maybe a bit premature, but I'm going to
Cape Town in January, this is just before Christmas, this all kicked off.
Um, and I'm going for like six weeks and like, I'd love for you to like come out
because I'm not going to see you.
And she was like, you know what?
Fuck it.
I'll go.
Lovely.
Get a bit of sun.
God, this is scary.
Fish a bit of flies.
They'd obviously been seeing each other for three or four months.
Aslan, you're an exclusive for this for him.
You develop proper feelings, yeah.
And he was basically like,
I'm gonna ask you to be my girlfriend in Cape Town,
which is quite odd to premeditate
that you're gonna tell someone
that you're going to ask them anyway.
So around Christmas, she was like,
already flights of birds.
She was like, I felt like there was a slight shift
in energy in terms of like, the replies were a bit slower.
So I didn't really overthink it, but I did notice it.
And I was like, hmm, is that weird?
I don't know.
Anyway, she gets there.
The energy from him, normally he's all over her like a rash.
The energy from him was just like so off.
And she was like, what the fuck, this is weird.
And you know that like immediate like pungent gut feeling
that you get, and she was like, this is weird.
Anyway, they like didn't really like. Anyway, they didn't really kiss,
I didn't think they sat together the whole time,
they were there, blah, blah, blah.
And she was like, this is just so off,
something's really bad.
And I was like, how did you not just think
I need to fly home?
She was like, I don't know.
I just stayed, and it was really odd.
Is she staying in his family home?
No, I think they'd done an Airbnb for a week or something. Fucking hell, that's even worse. They're just like the two of them.
Yeah. Anyway. So he refused to take her out for dinner anytime. She was like, I had all
these like lovely dinners booked. Like I'm quite a planner and like he's very much so
not. So I had booked all these dinners. I told her all the recommendations that I had
had from your friend, Chrissie. And I was like, this is what we did. It was so good. Blah, blah, blah. She's like,
great. I'm going to book them all. He gets it. He's like, don't want to go out at all.
So every single night they had delivery and I watched TV and he would just go to her really
early. She was like, what the fuck is going on? This is so weird.
Are they going to set?
No. Anyway, on the last night, she was like, I want to go out for dinner. We need to go
out for dinner. He was like, yeah, fine. It's the last time. Let's go out for dinner.
They did six nights.
I don't know how she did it.
Get on the flight home.
Get on the flight home.
I said to her that you should have gone home.
She's like, I can't.
She was like, I kind of.
In high sight.
Yeah.
But she was like, it's just such a weird thing
when you're in the moment.
Then they're out for dinner.
They're leaving dinner.
And this girl storms up to them.
And storms up to my friend and goes,
"'Who the fuck are you?'
And she's like,
"'I'm Helena.'
I'm making up a fake name.
She's like,
"'I'm Helena, who are you?'
And then she looks at the boy and storms off.
A second later, he gets a call from someone called,
I don't know, let's call them like, Catherine.
Catherine calling.
And so my friend's like,
take note of that name.
And my friend was like, who was that?
Like, what was that about?
And he was like, oh, it's just this girl that's obsessed with me that I used to date like a year ago.
So this guy is just like really psyched and it won't leave me alone.
It's like really jealous of anyone I date.
Such a dear comment.
And obviously straight away, she's like, obviously the alarm bells are ringing.
Anyway, my flight was the next morning.
I get on the flight and I look on who he's following called Katherine and find her and message her like, Hey, just want to like understand.
Like I hope you're right. Like obviously I met you last night briefly. I got the feeling
there's more to the story than what he's told me. Like, do you mind just letting me know
what's going on? Anyway, he turns out he had been sleeping with her the whole time he was
in Cape town, even though my friend was about to fly out and see him.
And he was like, he said to my friend, he was like, I'm really sorry, I didn't tell
you that I was sleeping with her sooner.
And I needed to break it off with you, but I just didn't want to do it whilst you're
out here.
She's like, you let me fly all the way out to fucking Cape Town.
What the fuck is wrong with this?
What the fuck?
Right.
So my theory is that he just was like, fucking hell, that girl's coming out like,
I don't know which one I fancy more. She comes out, he's like,
oh, I think I want the other one.
Just wanna also say that my friend
is absolutely 10 out of 10 and stunning.
And I don't know how he managed to get her
in the first place and like the whole thing's really.
But what I wanna know is that Catherine girl coming up,
she just walks over and she's like,
who the fuck are you?
And then walks off.
Like, wouldn't you be like, what the fuck are you doing?
Why is she in the restaurant as well? This is why he wouldn't ever go out for dinner with her
because he was so scared of bumping into that other girl. That's why he wouldn't take her out
for dinner. I know. Boys are such pricks. Like anything for the easy option out, anything for
the easy route. Just be honest and be like, look, I've had a change of heart, something's happened.
I'll pay for your flight. I'll pay for the flights if you need to cancel them and I'll pay you back for them, I'm really sorry. He also had
the cheat to be like, I want you to pay for the Airbnb that we're staying in. Half of
it was me. She was like, fuck it, I'm just going to pay it because I don't want to owe
you anything. But like-
Absolutely. He's just like, never talk. As she blocked and banned him, does she care
or is she just like, okay?
I think she was really bummed. She was like, I was really into him at a certain point.
I had feelings, of course. I was really into him like at a certain point, like I had feelings.
Of course I was spent four months, quite a long time.
I'm like really four months is like you say you love you at that point.
I know where you're getting there.
Aren't you?
I think I said four months after three months.
Yeah.
I love you and my girlfriend.
So they were about to get to that point.
Really fucking annoying.
Don't waste my time.
Anyway, I just loved it.
How then the girl called my friend and they had
a conversation, all the tea explained dates and my friend was like, I was then going through
messages that me and him were messaging and things he was saying to me when I know he
was like out on a date with her or sleeping with this other girl and like, it's so twisted.
This shit happens all the time below our noses.
The thing is, I'm so naive. Like I can't even like, even if I do a white lie to Jamie,
like about a timing or like if I booked a dinner
and I'm like, I didn't book it.
And he's like, why haven't we got the reservation?
I'm like, I booked it, it's their fault.
And I've lied.
I have anxiety about that lie.
I'm like, he's gonna find out.
I don't know how these people do.
I can't sleep at night.
I know.
Obviously we're still sending all the love to my friend.
She's very much so over it.
She got over it very quickly.
I think she was really bummed out initially,
but now she's back on the dating game. Is she? Oh yeah, yeah my friend. She's very much so over it, she got over it very quickly. I think she was really bummed out initially, but now she's back on the dating game.
Is she? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's gonna find an out. She's fine.
She's amazing. She said to him,
she was like, I know I will be fine from this
and I will move on and you will forever be a fucking liar
and a cheat and a blah, blah, blah, and just a narcissist.
And then she blocked him.
Oh my God, did you read the text?
She read them out to me and I was like, that was so good.
Cause the things that he had said to her was like so nasty.
There was no like, he was like, I'm sorry you came out.
I should have told you sooner that like I was like into this other girl.
It's like, no, no, no, no, no.
What is wrong with you?
So bizarre.
He's giving me the ick.
He like really thinks so.
Yeah, that's a very hard answer.
That is a narcissist 101, isn't it? So if you guys didn't see on NewlyWeds, Jamie asked Sophie what you thought
was an erogenous zone. And I think you said it's like a parking zone or something. I thought
it was like a no pub, um, public pathway. Right.
Like no people by foot.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.
Got pedestrian only vibe.
Yes.
Did you know?
I know what it is strictly from friends when Monica's showing Chandler the seven or aginous
zones.
Right.
I think she goes one, one, four, seven, six, seven.
You do?
How much of memory?
And I don't, oh yes.
Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven.
Seven.
So anyway, I was seven, seven, seven.
So anyway, I was like, I want to teach, or I wanted to play some sort of a game about it,
because I just thought it was so funny.
How about you say it. So I messaged Galeena,
and I was like, we need to do something
about the erogenous zones.
So basically the game is, I've got this feather duster here.
I have to pick three things in my mind
of what I think Sophie's erogenous zone's on.
I'm going to dust them.
Right.
I love my seaticlic feet. Touched with like, it doesn't turn me on. I knew, I knew. Yeah. She got one. The nape of the neck. I
don't know whether it's the neck, but anywhere on my neck. I think a neck is gorgeous. A
neck, right? That's so general. And you know what? Boys forget about the fucking neck.
Don't they? But when they go there, sometimes you're like heaven on earth.
But they never always forget.
Toby just goes straight out.
I'm like, you haven't warmed me up.
I say the same thing.
I'm like, God, you just really like, he's cut to the chase, but it's really annoying
because I'm like, you just, I'm not in the mood and you just.
I know I'm like, it doesn't work like that.
I just suddenly I'm zero to a hundred.
It's just, we need to to watch the Monica origin of stones.
I'd love to know what was on that piece of paper.
Like what's one to seven.
Okay, right, next one.
I wonder if this is right.
No.
Oh, fuck.
Okay guys, I just tickled like the little like nook of her arm.
No.
No, but you're like, you're in an area.
Oh, the stomach.
Yeah. Do you not have a stomach being in an area. Oh, the stomach. Yeah.
Do you not have a stomach being kicked?
No.
Try it.
Never tried it.
No one's ever done that.
Because you know it's like, no, no, no one's ever done that.
Ah!
Didn't mean that.
Didn't mean that.
Take it back.
What do you mean no one's ever done that?
As in like they have done that.
I don't even know.
I've never had my stomach like tickled.
No, it's like.
Or kissed.
This whole thing is like just too much on my crudish body.
The third one's quite kinky.
I don't think I can do it.
Wait, that's it.
I've got them all.
I've got them wrong.
So now you can tell me what the third one was.
I know I actually don't want to because it's literally so sexual.
No, it's inside of thighs.
But it's classic.
Classic.
That's obviously just like near that area.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And your stomach's also near that area.
And your neck's just like so sensitive.
There's something underrated about tickles
in those areas.
I would actually agree with that.
100%.
And a kiss sometimes feels like a tickle.
It's a very like-
Yes, true, true, true.
Tickly feeling.
Sometimes I'm like, ah.
Ooh.
Oh God, this whole thing.
Ah, am I doing it to miss it now? Right. Okay. I'm like, ah, I can't this whole thing. Am I doing it to Vanessa now?
Right.
Okay.
I'm scared.
Okay.
Anus.
No, don't go past it.
Anus.
No, no.
I think it is.
You've got to be really honest here, Vanessa.
It's a real...
No, I can't.
I actually can't.
We could get Toby on to
find out the triata. Okay, right. What were the other ones? I mean, obviously, but that's
not like something that's a fave and erogenous. Okay, I think maybe boobs. I thought that...
Huge. What, like kissing or holding? This is too much. I don't like that. I actually don't love a boobie.
Yeah, so boobies for me. God, sorry. Are we witnessing that? I just
got two out of three. You didn't, the bum is not actually one.
It's not. Okay. I'm going to go with neck.
You can't just go and like, grope someone's bum.
Neck too. Be like, woo, you turned on.
Neck was the one I just went for. Yeah, neck. Love the nape of the neck.
Nape of the neck. Nape of the neck, boobs.
You know what?
The lower end of the stomach,
which was something, abdomen, what did they call it?
Oh, that's quite nice, I guess, sure.
Neck, we've done.
And you know what?
I'm gonna say there's a point of like importance
with all of the erogenous zones,
and I think that's where the problem lies.
Yeah, you need to dip into each one.
You need to go over each one.
You know what I would love to know?
Apparently there's things that it's all in the mind and I'm like, God, what?
What do you mean?
Apparently you can really, people can get off literally just from in their brain, not
being touched.
Yeah, I've had an orgasm in the gym.
Oh my God, I've had it in the middle of the night when I've been sleeping.
Oh yeah, I've had loads in my dream.
In the dream.
I've had loads in my dream. I've had loads in my dream. What was that?
And they're like the best you've ever had.
I know, but what is that?
That's fascinating, I don't get it.
I actually had it like, I swear, before I even had sex.
You probably did when you were curious.
That is the instinct of a human being
knowing what you're supposed to do.
Isn't that so bizarre?
That is so bizarre.
I almost remember having it in my first place in Spain and I must have
been so young and I remember waking up from the night and I was like, what is this awful
thing that's just happened to me slash kind of liked it?
Yeah. And I definitely remember doing an ab workout in the gym in Newcastle and being like,
what the fuck just happened?
And ab workout?
Yes.
That is so impressive.
I did an ab workout. I was in a class. I was doing an ab workout.
Have you ever had it next to me when we've done a workout together?
It was like a 30 minute ab core class and I had like a mild orgasm and I was like,
oh my God. It was like a different type of orgasm, but it was something going on.
Wow. You know the thing about orgasming is like you really, really, I think-
Have to be in the right mindset.
Yeah. You really have to be relaxed,
which is why I think a lot of one night stands,
you're just not having a fun time,
because how are you gonna let yourself rip?
Like, you know.
Yeah.
You know when you say that, let yourself rip,
that means fart.
And you say it quite a lot,
and you always go, yeah, let it rip.
And I'm like, no.
And I've never told you, but you always say. I think-
It's normally, I let one go. Let yourself rip is like, just let yourself go. I think you've made
that up. You've put it- Have I? I genuinely think- What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I say that all the time.
You say it all the time. I'm like, God, I just went and just wanted to let it rip. I know you
always say it. And I'm like, someone needs to fucking tell her what that
means. I haven't even told her. I don't know. I even saw you then thinking, shall I bother?
You were going to think, oh, she fucking knows how to say it. Because then I thought maybe,
because you're so convincing and you say it all the time, like maybe it is the same, but
I really don't think it is. Just let it rip. That's what I said. I'm like, oh, just go out and have fun.
Let it rip.
That literally means, I swear, go out and fart.

Okay, we're going to get into the dilemmas guys.
Okay, dilemma one, ready?
Yeah.
This might seem like a low stakes dilemma to some people, but to me it feels massive.
I just found out I need glasses for the first time and I'm convinced I do not suit them.
I've never wanted glasses, so when the optician was handing me things to try on, they all
looked average to bad.
So I left without any saying I needed more time to decide. I know you recently got glasses, Sophie. So I wanted to ask for some
advice. Are there any brands and styles you recommend? And how do I actually feel confident
wearing them instead of like an imposter in on my face? Also, was there anything growing
up that made you feel insecure? And if so, how did you go over it?
Oh my God, yeah, I had loads of things growing up that made me feel insecure. I had this tooth
and it was called a goof tooth. I'll give you guys a photo.
I remember you telling me about that.
And I used to sell in it, stick out. And my dad loved it so much. We called it the goof tooth
in my family. When I got braces, my dad was like, fully took my mom aside and was like,
Sarah, I don't want that. That's her character. Like that's what's... My mom was like set like fully took my mom aside and was like, sir, I don't want that's her character. Like that's my mom's like, she's getting racist. Like, yeah, but it really made me feel self
conscious. So that was one thing that made me feel really self conscious. But now I look back
and I'm like, whatever. Anyway, going back to the glasses thing, I like them. I really like them.
I've had like loads of fun looking at different ones and different shades.
Yeah, I think they're quite cool.
I think, firstly, I think glasses are so in. I mean, people are just wearing them.
People are just wearing them.
I didn't know Sophie had a prescription. I thought she was just wearing them.
I think go into a shop, go to Finley, go in with your hair and makeup done as in like,
do it.
That's a good idea. Feel your best.
Feel your best and have fun trying them on. Also, if you really don't like them, you can wear eye contact lenses, right?
But sometimes if you only need to wear them for certain occasions, you can't do the contact
lens thing.
Yeah, mine won't be contact lenses.
Yeah, exactly.
They're literally just reading glasses.
But just have fun with them.
There will be a one that suits you.
If you've got a pair of sunglasses you like, take those sunglasses in.
Say frame.
Get the same frame or take the sunglasses out of them
and put the prescription in them.
I've done that with a pair of my glasses.
Have you? Yeah.
Also maybe take, like go on Pinterest
and look at girlies and glasses
and find ones that you think look cool
and just try and embrace it.
You've been given an opportunity
to have some cool fashioning bits
and bobs with the glasses.
I think it's quite fun.
It's so fun.
People actually want, like Melissa said,
people are trying to find an excuse to wear glasses.
Half of my glasses haven't got a lens in,
and only two pair have a lens in,
and the rest I'm wearing just for fun.
Yeah.
It's probably a bit of a confusing thing and a shock to your system
to have something foreign on your face and you're not used to it.
I get that.
But you'll get used to it and just really own it and have fun with it.
Go in there.
There's a million different styles and shapes.
Haley, leave us out of the glasses every day.
Yeah.
I think use this as an opportunity to reinvent a bit of style and really just embrace it.
And you've probably gone into an opticians and you've tried on all the crappy shapes
and you're like-
Let's go to a cooler place where you feel a bit more like inspired.
You're going to look fab. Have, just be kind to yourself.
And send us pictures and we'll enjoy you. I bet you look fantastic. It's just all in your head,
as we all know. Anyway, sending you lots of love.
Love you.
Dilemma two. Hi, I have a bit of a strange dilemma. So I'm currently dating this guy and honestly,
it's going great. We're having so much fun. He's super kind and thoughtful, but I have one tiny issue that I'm scared
will spiral into a full blown if I don't address it. When we have sex, which by the way is
amazing, he doesn't take his socks off. He's got a veruca.
Yeah. I was about to say maybe he's got a veruca. He's been quite considerate actually
not getting that on you.
Or he's got athlete's foot. Is this just a me thing? Am I being dramatic or is this genuinely
weird? We're still in the early stages of dating and addressing it doesn't exactly scream
for play chat, but it is also all I can think about now when having sex with him. And so
I'm not focusing on the actual sex. Have you ever been completely turned off by something
seemingly minor? What did you do? Oh yeah, I have. I don't think I have.
Do you remember when I got so turned off by a guy because his toenail was long and I was
like, I literally cannot go near him. But it ended in us breaking up. And Melissa went
up to that said guy and said, just so you know, she doesn't like you because your toenails
are too long. She went all sorts of, I remember so well.
I remember. I was like, we were a bit drunk
at this beach bar and I was like, we were fucked. We were fucked. And I was like, I
just don't like him. And you were like, why? Talk to me about why? And I was like, his
toenails are so long. And you went, right, I'll get it sorted out. And she strutted off
in this bikini at age 22. And you're like, just so you know, we need to get some clippers
and we're going to chop your toenails and then she'll like you.
I remember, I actually did exactly that. I don't know what was wrong with me.
We'll go and get some clippers and we'll just chop, chop, chop. I'll do it for you if you want.
I don't know why I was so determined.
Because it was just cute.
To get those nails off.
Yeah, we all wanted the nails off.
But in sex, you've never had it, or you've been like,
ooh, no, I saw those toenails in sex.
You just might not like feet.
You should just be like, what's with the socks?
Yeah, I just, I fucking ask him, be like, also, no, no,
let's just do a little bit of like investigative work
to start with, like, is he wearing socks in the shower?
No, if not, let's take a peek,
let's see what those feet are looking like. Have we never seen the feet? I'm like gagging to see what these feet are like. Is there an issue here in the shower? No. If not, let's take a peek. Let's see what those feet are looking like.
Have we never seen the feet? I'm like gagging to see what these feet are like.
Is there an issue here with the feet? Is he never going back forever? Are we ever looking
at the feet?
Then if it happens the next time you have sex, don't say it before or during. Say it
after. Be like, so the socks, what's going on with the socks there? Just say it in a
joke. You'd be like, I don't mind. You literally have to be like, I don't mind. But like, I've
not got my socks on.
She like-
I just love the way she, I don't mind.
Imagine what's going on with the socks then.
I don't mind.
I was in like, you don't want him to make him feel
like it's a thing and embarrass.
And then it become like a barrier when you're having sex
or like stop him from doing things
because sometimes boys are sensitive,
especially in these early stages.
I'm just thinking like sometimes, you know, when you like have a quickie, do they?
The socks sometimes stay on in a quickie. Sometimes the top stays on in a quickie.
Yeah.
Because it's like, imagine if you're having a quickie on the sofa. I'm not gonna,
one sec, let me just take off my socks. It's a bit weird actually. Just keep socks off.
Trousers are actually still on. They just come down a little bit.
Okay, right, dilemma number three.
Girls, I need some BS advice.
What is BS advice?
Bullshit advice.
I'm at a major sliding doors moment, oh my God.
I have a very, very close group of friends
and one of my best friends, Ben,
is the kindest, funniest, most gentle person I've ever met.
Last year, he dropped a bomb
and told me he was in love with me.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'd never seen him in that way, but I gave it a chance.
After a few weeks, I ended it.
I adored him as a friend, but the physical attraction wasn't there.
He was devastated, needed space, and it nearly tore our group apart.
We both dated other people and finally our friendship felt back to normal until last
weekend.
We got very drunk, went home together, and then we spent the whole night, day and night
together.
He admitted he never got over me and wants to try again.
On paper, Ben is perfect.
He's always the one I look for in a room, treats me amazingly, and I know I'd never
have to question his feelings.
The sex is incredible.
What?
But despite all that, I just don't feel physically attracted to him.
Okay, got it. Am I making a huge mistake overlooking him for this reason alone? It feels like the
universe has given me a second chance, but I don't want to hurt him again. I'm 30, have
been single for years and tend to go for the good looking guys who give me the bare minimum.
So I'm trying to learn from past mistakes. What do I do?
I just think if you're not physically attracted to someone, but you're having
amazing sex and you're not ever going to be attracted to them, if you don't have
it in the beginning, like, look, it's really hard because I've met so many
people later on in life who have been married for so many years and there's so,
like such a successful, amazing marriage.
And they're like, we were just best friends.
Like, you know, like you look at them, you're like, you're not, you don't quite match,
but they actually are like amazing.
But I wonder at the beginning that they probably were physically attracted to each
other.
I think if you don't have that in the beginning, like what is there?
Cause like eventually that does obviously go, maybe not completely, but like majority
of that physical, like magical magnet thing goes.
I find it really shocking that you're having really good sex, but there's no physical attraction
because I think if you have good sex, you're naturally physically attracted.
I would have thought the same thing, but then I see if my friends were sleeping with certain
guys and they were like, I don't like them, but like the sex is really good.
And I'm like, but how can it be if there's no-
I've never had that.
Fancying, I've never had that.
You have to be attracted to someone.
I wonder if you just keep checking him
for the sake of like friends with benefits
and like see if something develops.
If I'm being honest, it sounds like this guy
is like drop dead, like in love with you
and obviously so attracted to you.
And he deserves someone that's gonna feel
the same way about him.
I don't wanna break his heart.
And you keep saying like,
he, you would never doubt his feelings,
but he'll always doubt yours and that's not fair. Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't think this is quite right. He's
not your Prince Charming, but he, you're probably like best friends in a soul, no soulmates
in a best friend sense, rather than in a physical relationship sense or a romantic sense.
It's really difficult. I think you've got to tread carefully because you don't want
to break his heart and it's just not right.
I agree. I personally, like if it was me saying this to you or vice versa or like my sister,
I would be like, you can't.
I would be like, you've got to end it because it's not fair on him and he obviously is so
physically attracted to you. I just think you just need to be like, no, don't say I'm
not physically attracted to you. Just be like, just need to be like, no, don't say I'm not physically
attracted to you. Just be like, I don't want to ruin our friendship. Because I just don't,
my gut's saying it's not right. You've got to at the beginning want to rip someone's clothes off.
You've just got to. Yeah, if you don't have that at the start.
You're never going to get it. You're not going to get that ever. And then you'll,
then you'll have a wandering eye. You know what I mean?
It's bad news. It's bad news. You obviously love him as a person
and like you obviously have great sex,
but like something's missing, unfortunately.
I also think you have to put your shoes
on like the other foot in the sense,
like imagine if he was saying about you,
like, oh my God, she's ticking every box.
She's such a lovely girl.
And like, shagging's great,
but like I'm just not physically attracted to her.
You'd be like, I don't want to be with him.
No.
So I think that, yeah, we need to just nip that in the bud.
And don't settle like your time will come, you're still so young. Like it's not right
for a reason. And like you've got to follow your gut. I think your gut's telling you it's
not right because you wouldn't be writing in otherwise. And you seem like such a nice
guy and you're doing the right thing by like not wanting to just ruin his feelings by just
taking the easy route out. But we love you and keep us updated.
Okay guys, that's it for the end of the episode really and all the
