251: Dating lessons from a dating show host! (ft. Alli Goldberg)

"I'm a comedian, and now I’m an accidental matchmaker!" So says Alli, self-proclaimed theater geek and creator of Love Isn’t Blind — a new dating show where 4 men compete for 1 woman, and the men can’t speak. She's also the creator of the dating show where celebrities read your breakup texts. What's especially interesting is that as someone reading hundreds of applications to her dating show, Alli has a fascinating breadth of experience when it comes to what men are looking for in women, and vice versa. As she says, "When you ask people what they want in a partner, it's revealing to hear what they lead with." Here we talk about sex, dating, relationships, being a wingwoman or wingman (hint: if you're in a relationship, your job isn't over! Help out a shy or introverted person and you'll feel great about yourself). We also discuss how hot men are who are openminded, working on themselves and "secretly in men's groups." ;) You'll want to listen to this fun and lively one! Memorable quotes from this episode: "In a post-pandemic world, there's a strong desire and real need for people to meet in person." "Looks are a weird thing." "There's a certain freedom men feel to talk to me about dating when I’m not on a date with them." "We’re all making the same mistakes!" "I wanted something that would get people rowdy and meeting each other."
