Second, d Brook,
0:04
you like it when a guy knows exactly
0:06
what he wants? Right? Yeah? Absolutely,
0:08
But that's an attractive quality. Oh sure?
0:11
Do you like it when a guy knows exactly what he
0:13
doesn't want? I mean, if he's not I
0:15
don't need to hear about that.
0:20
I think it's good for him as a person, But I
0:22
think usually that means that he doesn't want me,
0:24
So I don't want to you
0:27
know, up right, just keep
0:29
it to yourself. I'm just bringing it up because one of our listeners
0:31
says he likes one thing,
0:33
and that's curvy women. Okay,
0:36
but not a unique thing. He says he believes
0:38
women on dating apps are abusing that term,
0:41
and I'm curious to know what he means
0:44
by that. So, Glenn, Glenn,
0:48
welcome to the show man. Hey, thanks
0:50
for having me out today.
0:55
It's kind of like, shouldn't be describing
0:57
themselves that way? Well, I don't know what
0:59
he means. Can you tell us what you mean? Like? What do you why
1:01
do you think people are abusing the term curvy?
1:04
Well, everyone tries to make themselves sound
1:07
as as attractive as possible on these things,
1:09
but curvy is you know,
1:11
the old cartoons, the classic. You get your hands
1:13
and you make the hourglass shape you want, like you
1:15
mean the unobtainable measurements of Barbie.
1:18
Is that what you're talking about? No,
1:20
not even that, Like, no, no, I like
1:22
a real woman with curbs. If I wanted a twelve
1:24
year old boy, I date a twelve year old boy. But no,
1:32
Yeah,
1:36
okay, So I'm just trying to understand what
1:38
you're saying. You're Glenn, what you're saying, Do
1:41
we want more clation? I'm
1:43
just trying to, you know, see his perspective.
1:46
He thinks women of all shapes use the
1:48
term curvy too liberally. Yes,
1:51
yes, because you have to have a curve up top,
1:53
a curve down bottom, but in the middle it's got to
1:55
taper in a little bit, so you have a
1:57
clear, definitive waste area.
2:00
So you're saying that like your date shut up and didn't match
2:02
her description. Is that what you're trying to get to? No,
2:05
no, no, I I just took me a long time
2:07
to find the kind of girl that I was looking for on
2:09
the on the dating apps. Okay, Glenn, what
2:11
did you like about her outside of her physical
2:13
appearance? Well, what was her name or
2:16
does it doesn't even matter. Tell
2:20
us more about her. Her name's Megan.
2:23
And one of the things, one of the things
2:25
that I said when I was looking for the date was
2:27
I'm looking for a nature girl,
2:29
like a nature nerd. I love going hiking. Okay,
2:32
I know there's over nine hundred
2:34
different types of fig trees. I know there's
2:36
one breed of wasp that pollinates them.
2:38
Like I know these things. It's it's a it's a big
2:40
hobby of mine. Many do you need a girl that's
2:43
curvy and knows that stuff too well,
2:45
at least can pretend to be interested.
2:48
If not the I
2:53
think it's attractive. I don't know about Alexis, but I think it's attractive
2:56
when people have like a like a nerd out
2:58
on something, like have a true
3:00
passion. That's a good sign, I think if
3:03
they're actually not nerds. Though. Yeah, I
3:06
know my focus is kind of narrow. But again,
3:09
that's why I'm on the dating site, so that I can
3:11
find someone kind of sort of will
3:13
match. That is that what you did for your date?
3:15
You guys? Went outside? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. I
3:17
found a site where you can print out these lists of nature
3:20
scavenger hunts. Said, well, this would
3:22
be really cool. Yeah, I do that for my kids.
3:27
What do you mean, like find a heart
3:29
shaped rock? Is that what you mean? Yeah,
3:31
stuff like that. Yeah, so we can
3:33
go out for a walk and talk and
3:35
kind of get to know each other and just explore
3:38
nature. And that sounds fun.
3:41
Well it was okay, Oh
3:43
just okay. Yeah, the checklist that
3:45
I had, I didn't think
3:47
it would be a big deal. But there's things
3:49
like find a wild mushroom, find
3:51
some feathers, find a butterfly.
3:54
I think I know what the problem is here. The butterflies
3:56
weren't proportionate enough. Is that what it is? Not
3:59
curving? Yeah, they're two round?
4:01
You want those monarchs with an hour glass shape.
4:07
We're just messing around with you, Glenn. Did
4:11
Megan seem to have any fun? Well,
4:13
you know, it got a little less friendly
4:16
as the day wore on because we couldn't
4:18
find a damn thing. Like I was getting
4:20
a little frustrated. You're getting frustrated
4:22
over your list. Oh
4:25
yes, over the lack of being able to find
4:27
anything on this damn list. They had
4:30
ants in an ant hill on the list
4:32
and we couldn't find ants. We couldn't find
4:34
anything. Is
4:37
this how is this was this your mood
4:39
as the list became more
4:43
obtained. I did you show your frustration
4:45
to Megan? I think
4:47
it kind of leaked through because I'm going
4:49
I finally got a date with a girl that I
4:51
am attracted to, and we're doing something
4:54
that she's she's willing to be interested
4:56
in, and we can have a good time and get
4:58
to know each other, and now nothing else
5:00
is working out and like a
5:03
jacket. Ye, honestly,
5:05
I don't think she really
5:08
probably cared about completing your scavenger
5:10
huns Well, tell us how it ended, because we got
5:12
to wrap this up soon. So at
5:15
the edge of the park there's a food truck. So we went over
5:17
to the food truck and we got corn dogs
5:19
and oh
5:21
yeah, no, it's terrific. We're
5:25
sitting on a step, we're eating them, we're finishing up, and
5:27
she just goes really nice meeting you,
5:29
and then I have to
5:31
go I have to meet up with my roommate for a
5:34
work thing. Yeah.
5:36
I have a question. Why are we calling her? Is
5:39
this because this is the only woman
5:41
that has ever matched with you? And I, you
5:43
know, like you have very very high
5:45
standards and specific requests
5:47
here. It's just sort of up with so much potential
5:50
and the ants had to ruin
5:52
it for you, So we're gone. Yeah,
5:54
the lack of the ants would have saved it for
5:56
me. Answer it for
5:59
me? Well, at the wouldn't step up for
6:01
you? We will right now. We're gonna call
6:03
Megan and we're gonna ask her why she isn't
6:05
wanting another date. Why. Well,
6:07
I'm going to try and convince her to give you another
6:12
We're gonna give her a reason why to go out with him
6:14
one more time? How about that, Brooke, you think of that during
6:16
the break, We'll come back call Megan. You get your second
6:18
date update right after this. Thank you, guys, Thank you
6:20
very much. Right hold on, man. You
6:24
know what's funny is when you think of your
6:26
social circle, and this is true
6:29
a lot of the times, it's the people you
6:31
didn't get along with at first who
6:33
later go on to become your closest friends
6:36
and even lovers. So
6:40
I think Brooke might be coming after
6:42
you so hard right now because she
6:44
actually has a little bit of a crush
6:47
on you
6:50
would read it that way. Have
6:52
you seen a picture of her online? Because
6:55
Brooke, would you describe yourself as Kurvey? Uh?
6:58
No, oh, how would you descri I
7:00
have the flattest booty ever? Describe
7:04
myself as kurvy, You're like a little
7:06
flat back. Uh
7:09
no, no, uh. Like I said, I know, it's
7:11
a unicorn that I'm looking for here, but a
7:14
curby girl who was into nature and
7:16
just a great conversation. Can you check to
7:18
at least two of them? I don't know, but I'm
7:20
talking about me anymore like
7:23
a potato. Yet, what
7:26
are you offering? You know, like you're asking
7:28
for such like high I'd like to hear
7:31
this too. Yeah, what are you bringing
7:33
to the table for this unicorn? Sounds like
7:35
someone's interesting. Yeah, I just
7:39
I'm doubting. Well,
7:43
you know, I'm I'm reasonably smart,
7:45
I'm educated, taking interest
7:47
in a wide variety of jecks. I try not to
7:49
be cliche, which is why I try to find stupid
7:52
things like nature scavenger, hunch a
7:54
nature. We know that. And he's also humble. You only
7:56
called himself reasonably smart. Yeah,
7:58
I know what I like, but I respect
8:01
women. I love women, and I
8:03
just want to find the right one, that's all. And he feels
8:06
like the right one was Megan, who he met
8:08
online and they went on a scavenger hunt.
8:10
Unfortunately, he did get a little bit frustrated
8:13
when he couldn't find some of the things on their list, like
8:15
ants. So he's hoping that didn't
8:17
blow it for him. And we're going to find out if
8:19
we can get you another chance here, all right, And no
8:21
matter what, Glenn, I'll have a little offline
8:23
conversation with you. Well,
8:27
I told you the flat boot. He does not do
8:29
it for me. Are you about to appreciate your I
8:33
don't think he's joking. He's little
8:36
to Megan. So let's call her and see what she has
8:38
to say. Here we go, I'm a dot number right now. Hello,
8:49
Hello is this Megan? Oh god? Yeah,
8:52
hey Megan. Can we apologize now? Why
8:55
we want to talk to you a little bit? Megan? When you're on the radio
8:57
show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm
9:00
sorry? What what is this? Oh?
9:02
Well, just no, I'm on your side. We're
9:07
talking about it. It's important
9:09
to start out the games. We're
9:11
a morning show, Megan, and we do a segment
9:14
on our show called a second Date Update. That's what
9:16
this is. We're trying to help one of our listeners
9:18
who went on a date with you. Recently. His name
9:20
is Glenn. Do you remember Glenn? Uh?
9:23
Yeah, yeah I do. I don't know
9:25
why you're calling me about him, though.
9:27
Well, he said that he had this
9:29
big idea to do a nature scavenger hunt
9:32
and it was going okay, and then he got a
9:34
little bit frustrated when certain
9:36
things in nature weren't making themselves
9:38
appear to you, guys, I think what it was is
9:40
that he had the idea of a perfect date
9:43
for you and it wasn't panning out,
9:45
and so he let his frustrations get the
9:47
better of him. Do you agree with that. Well,
9:50
he seems to have a temper and
9:54
it wasn't it wasn't necessarily it wasn't
9:56
focused on me per se. But
9:59
he would go m zero to just
10:01
letting loose a string of curses because
10:03
you couldn't find the ants on the checklist.
10:06
And he was so into
10:08
it. He had this laser focus on completing
10:10
this task and he was getting red faced
10:13
and really bad about him.
10:16
That is such a we spoke to him. We
10:18
didn't get that impression at all, did not, because
10:20
I have that impression to
10:25
hear that, But like
10:27
this guy, I mean, did you
10:29
tell him to calm down? Well, I was.
10:31
I was trying to redirect, was
10:33
trying to ask about himself.
10:36
I was trying to find out his other interests,
10:38
and instead he would start giving me
10:40
this litany of facts like
10:42
the Latin name for dandelion and what
10:45
who were the pollinators for it? And I was
10:48
like, I'd rather know about you. Um
10:50
so my understanding. You're at like, that's the reason
10:52
that you're not calling him back because you felt
10:55
maybe a little bit of a temper. I mean, that's
10:57
one of them. Oh, there's more red flags.
11:00
Well. The other one was that the man that I
11:02
met that day didn't match
11:04
up with the man that was described
11:07
in his profile. Really, oh,
11:10
I am very interested in the
11:14
way he described himself a beast. On the photos I
11:16
saw, he described his build as athletic,
11:19
and that really appealed to me because I go rafting.
11:21
I love that stuff. Okay, that's
11:24
great, But he
11:27
said he looked athletic, and when you
11:29
showed up, what did he look like to
11:31
you? Well, he looked he looked
11:33
softer. Okay, that's
11:35
a kind way to say it. Yeah,
11:38
I don't know about all that. He just didn't look as
11:40
sturdy as in his photos. And and he
11:42
was getting winded while we were just walking around
11:44
that park. I know he was getting mad, but
11:46
I was paying attention to the fact that he was getting out
11:48
of breath. Why aren't you getting outraged
11:51
at her for you're
11:56
telling about that, and
12:00
honesty of it all is amazing
12:03
hypocrisy, the apocrisy of you
12:05
right now because the athletic
12:07
body style is unattainable that
12:10
they show Men's Health magazine. We
12:12
started the conversation and he was moaning
12:14
about how women mislabeled themselves
12:17
and how horrible they are for calling themselves
12:19
Kirby, and then he has
12:21
the audacity to mislabel himself.
12:25
We're finding out a little bit too much information
12:28
at this point, a little oversharing, And I need
12:30
to let you know at this point that Glenn
12:32
is on the other line and has
12:34
been hearing all of this. O Hi,
12:37
O, Hi, got
12:41
your tail between your legs on that one. Well,
12:44
you know, I don't know if I was out of breath so
12:46
much, but I was. I was a little breathless
12:48
in your presence. I guess, Glenn,
12:54
what do you think of that she doesn't think that you're athletic
12:57
looking? Well, you
12:59
know, every one goes through cycles. Everyone
13:01
has, you know, good good weeks, bad
13:03
weeks. So wait, so you're asking
13:06
for a little bit of empathy maybe
13:08
a little bit of course. Yeah, of
13:10
course, you know everyone's work in progress.
13:13
Everyone. That's a really smart thing
13:15
to say. Yeah, maybe if you actually
13:17
gave that to other people then you would receive
13:20
it back the empathy
13:23
lost. No. Yeah,
13:25
I'm just I'm just speechless there
13:27
because No, I think she's perfect the way she
13:29
is. I just I'm just I'm just so
13:31
frustrated, aggravated with myself,
13:34
or get aggravated Broy
13:38
Megan, we haven't heard from you. I mean, what now
13:40
you can talk to Glenn and tell him, tell him about
13:42
his soft body and have disappointed. Well,
13:47
I'm a call so I don't think I need to repeat
13:49
myself. I didn't mean
13:52
any offense. If I offend you, no,
13:54
I know I can. I can definitely
13:56
work on the softness. I guess
13:58
there's not much I can do about the butterflies
14:01
and migration. Okay,
14:03
you're still worried about the Glenn.
14:06
I mean, why are you using old photos again?
14:09
Another fault of mine. I put up a couple of old
14:11
photos. I haven't updated my photos and yeah,
14:13
put on a few pounds and then that's my fault
14:15
too. Everything. You
14:18
don't beat yourself up over it. I
14:22
very like his cushion, so wouldn't hurt his bad.
14:25
But Glenn, we
14:27
want to help you here, man, we want to get you another day.
14:29
Maybe if we could just end with you saying
14:32
one nice thing about Glenn, that would help Glenn, because
14:34
I think what Glench would work on is maybe himself
14:36
for a while. I yeah,
14:39
I'm I do agree with that, all
14:41
right, So let's think of one nice thing to say.
14:43
I would say the nicest thing that
14:46
I noticed you had going for yourself were
14:48
your manners and how you treated me. Yeah,
14:51
that's a real positive Glenn. What do
14:53
you think of that? Glen? I certainly
14:56
appreciate that, and like I
14:58
said, I try to be as respectful
15:01
as as possible. Uh maybe maybe
15:03
the frustration that I point to myself, I
15:05
should probably have a few more manners towards
15:07
myself too. But yeah, that that's a moment
15:10
of growth. It's nice to yourself, budd Okay
15:12
maybe, But the stating thing, this this
15:14
jungle of dating thing, it's it's horrible. So
15:18
I probably just got over excited that I
15:20
thought I actually found someone I could connect with. Okay,
15:22
well, let's get out of the jungle and let's just go back
15:24
to the park. And we want to send you on a date
15:27
that we will pay for, like a little bit of a redo.
15:30
What do you think of that? Uh, Glen,
15:33
If if we can do something where
15:35
you can be a little more curious about me
15:38
and less about the greenery
15:40
the environment, I would
15:42
say yes to another that
15:46
it was nice. Don't know if he's
15:49
smart, Glenn. I
15:52
would love another chance. And I am very
15:54
curious about you. I'm super curious about you,
15:56
and I promise I will try as hard as
15:58
I can to not get in my own way and and
16:01
screw things up. Okay, well, look at
16:03
that. It's a successful second date
16:05
update, even though Brooke tried to sabotage
16:07
it the entire time with her flat behind.
16:12
Don't worry, Brook, there's someone out there for you to Brooke
16:16
and Jeffrey in the morning,
