Are more and more older women dating younger men? While we’re used to seeing famous women as “cougars,” these May-December romances may be going mainstream. At first, Jinah thought her matches with younger men were exceptions, but then they kept on coming. So I Hate Dating Apps enlisted relationship coach Deb Dutcher to explain why this is happening, and what it means for the modern dating scene. Cougars, unite!

YESSSS! Jinah and Daniel are officially in year TWO of their podcast! And in this debut episode of season 2, you get to know us a little bit better. The dynamic duo muses about topics like whether dating for marriage even makes sense anymore, how growing up Jehovah's Witness shaped Jinah into who she became (and maybe explains why her dating life is a hot mess), and how Daniel used to make money off of cannibis and young, hot Korean boy bands (it's not what you think, people). THANK YOU for supporting our baby podcast and for having fun with us as we navigate this crazy world of dating apps!

So you're sick and tired of the dating apps and you want to go back to trying your luck with IRL - In Real Life. You're hitting bar after club after bar - and soon realize you just don't have the guts every weekend to hit up the cute guy or girl on your own. This is where the wingman (or wing woman) comes in! They have NO problem going up to someone as long as they're "asking for a friend." In this episode, Daniel and Jinah talk to Hunter Werner (@hunterwoty), who created a whole movement around dating with a wingman in tow. The founder of WingmanOfTheYear.com, Hunter started a dating show and a digital media brand based on the Wingman culture. He dishes about setting his friends up, the problem with guys (and girls) and - of course - why dating apps are sooooo bad.

Dating apps suck for everyone, but it sucks even worse if you're introverted and socially anxious. So what is one to do when the idea of getting dressed up, going out and talking to someone for hours at a bar or restaurant sounds worse than a root canal?? Jinah and Daniel talk to writer and relationship coach Cain Parish (cainparish.com, @cainparish), who is on a mission to make dating better for everyone, but especially introverts. Cain was the definition of a low social battery introvert. Interactions and relationships never came easy to him. He talks about how he overcame his challenges, and how he managed to successfully navigate the world of dating apps. Did we mention he's from Australia? Apparently dating apps suck Down Under too.

What is it like to be in the dating app world over the age of 50? Well... it's a bit of a shit show according to author, equestrian, and radio DJ Catherine Berra (CatherineBerra.com). Catherine ventured out into the world of online dating at 48, spent 10 years trying to figure it all out and the resulting hilarious dating stories are now in her book "These stories are true... I s#!+ you not!" She shares some of them with Jinah and Daniel. Join us for a lively discussion about "dating app"-ing when older.

So you're about to delete your dating apps. Again. But then you realize - how am I gonna meet people then?? Before you panic and re-install your dating app, listen to our two professional matchmaker guests talk about what it's like to have someone literally working for you so you can go on curated dates. Hint: it ain't cheap!! Matchmaking is as old as civilization. From the days of highly prized matchmakers who knew just the right princess for the king-to-be, to glossy ads on airline magazines adverstising beautiful women for men with refined tastes and deep pockets, matching has now evolved. But does is still work in the DIY world of dating apps where the majority of people are looking for romance via swipes? We talk to 2 modern day matchmakers Gina Hendrix @matchmakerginahendrix and Anika Rashaun @nikarashaun

Not so long ago, it was pretty darn clear who was supposed to ask who out on the first date. Not anymore. In this Wild Wild West of app dating, the rules have gone out the window, resulting in confusion for some, resentment in others, and lack of courage and effort all the way around. We ask our guests Luis (@uonmobileapp) and Samantha (@skmcintosh) who should make the first move?
