Episode 56: That darn dating profile
Or how to make sure you find who you're looking for
Appears in this episode
Dating profiles. They’re a minefield of bad photos (typically, but not always, of men), half-truths and outright lies. But today’s episode is only partly about that because we’ve covered dating in the past, and we know that for many people, it’s a massive time suck that leads to nothing but disappointment.
It doesn’t have to be, however, if you start off as you mean to go on. In this episode, we talk about what it means to date with intent, think about what you want in a relationship, and consciously swipe past those who don’t fit your criteria, no matter how hot they may be.
We discuss the challenge of setting clear boundaries when there’s a mismatch. And also about how lying may be OK in the context of age as long as you are open and honest early on about the actual number.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the dating world.

Episode 56: That darn dating profile
Agree extreme clarity worked for me. I never minded stating my age ( I was 55 to 59 when online dating) and actually found mostly younger men ( in their forties) hitting on me not older men. so had a lot of fun!
For dating apps to require stating one’s age seems discriminatory. Each of us ages differently, yet stereotypes about age abound. Absent that requirement, no one would be tempted to lie.
