About this episode

The episode discusses wedding planning dilemmas, dating app etiquette, and features an interview with Dr. Jennie Young on dating strategies for women.

A gay man's female friend is planning her wedding. But the relationship is already a disaster, and the caller does NOT approve of this union. Should he still help her choose a wedding dress? A bi man got into a cat fight with a guy on one of the hook-up apps when he wasn't polite enough about ending a conversation. Is there a social contract on gay hook-up apps? On the Magnum, Dan chats with Dr. Jennie Young, author of Burn the Haystack: Decode Dating, Torch the Duds, and Make Room for Men Who Matter. Her feminist, pragmatic approach to dating for straight women is blunt and hilarious. She talks about her method for brutally winnowing down the list of men, how dating apps are addictive by design, and (counterintuitively,) why the man should plan the first date. Don't miss this one! And, a man asks for logistical advice on how to plan the abduction scene his wife desires. What could possibly go wrong? Maybe she'll call and tell us how it went! 206-302-2064 Q@Savage.Love And remember: Every sperm is sacred. This episode is brought to you by VB Health, Doctor-formulated supplements that work .
