Are people cheering for me to be in a relationship or single?! @jaredfreid talks about how public reactions to his new relationship make him reflect on his dating history and social media pressure, including whether he should post his girlfriend or not. They answer emails, starting with a guy who insists on bringing his dog on a second date and even feeds it from his fork. EW! They also react to a listener who sent a brutally honest rejection text to a “TikTok famous” guy who wouldn’t stop talking about his money, real estate, and trust issues. J&J then debate an email about dating into a wealthy country club family and whether it crosses the line from culture shock into straight-up judgment. Later, a widow’s date asks if she’ll “compare all future partners” to her late husband. We’re calling it a major red flag!

27:24 – AI Did Not Write My Text
38:32 – Wealth Brag Killed My Attraction

I wonder if Jared’s girlfriend is who he talked to the Modern Mystic about 👀
Crazy overreaction to that letter writer. There were no value judgements in her letter at all, she was just observing that the ambiance was louder and more gastronomically diverse than a Midwestern cookout. Jared has made similar comments about Indian weddings before.
1:25:00 how many dates does a guy have to pay for?
but comparing future partners to a dead spouse is a common concern.
i can see why he brought it up early.
27 year old on tiktok with a lot of properties?
I call bullshit. Sometimes you just need someone to give honest feedback to an oblivious embellisher.
actually a lot of people have this "i paid for the down payment" argument.
That one ab the Passover dinner was so bizarre. Seems like she wanted Jared to start making fun of them too and laugh with her and she can seem like she's 'in on the joke'. It's so obvious. Very weird write in.
people are such shitty writers that everyone is accused of using AI when they sound like a normal human.
i never use ai to proof read my shit.
but i did ace high school grammar class.
Thank you Jared and Jordana for calling the last listener out!! I found the way she put things quite offensive and Jordana, you’re spot on calling her out for the (harmful) stereotypes. Like you said, 100% would’ve been better/more relatable if she was vulnerable.
So excited to get more convos about couple concerns, thoughts, considerations! What love feels like at the beginning vs years in. I am in a relationship but totally always connected with Jared on dating and fears of how it can affect your career (in my opinion it slightly does shift it especially if you’re not at the top), fear of committing to the wrong person and having to break up. So now I’m curious his experience on the other side.
This is a fun one!!! Share with a friend who brings their dog everywhere!!
I WISH more of my friends would use AI before they hit send on a message. How many times do I get some jumbled text that I can’t decode followed by another text that says, “sorry, I was using talk to text” but NEVER any clarification and I still have no idea what the f*ck’s going on????? Too many!! 😤
as a niche playlist maker myself, i’d actually be into the divorced mom AKA cigarette mom playlist question (shout out alanis, sheryl, the chicks, garbage, etc etc) 🤘🏼🚬
I'm looking forward to the day where U Up: Parent's Edition can be a thing. I'd love to hear these two talk about parenting children who are going out on dates. They have all the answers but the kids will likely not listen.
11:02 – 11:27 = 🤣 "Gains"….pleasure to meet you, I'm Gains Johnson
