Russell and Penelope first matched on Hinge last month and it only took them a week before they actually went on their first date. Russell tells us that he loved his conversation with Penelope and her smile and that they went to a Nationals game for their first date. Russell shares that they even went on a second date where Penelope came over to his place and he cooked dinner for her. Russell thought things were going in the right direction, but ever since their second date he hasn't heard from Penelope and isn't sure what went wrong.   We call Penelope trying to figure out if there is anything else between her and Russell that happened that may have caused things to go wrong and she tells us that she wasn't a fan of what Russell was commenting on random Instagram posts. Find out what's really going on in this Second Date Update

Alright y'all, in this week's episode we got real about body language in dating—yes, sis, that closed-off vibe might be why no one's stepping to you! A new study says most women think we look approachable, but we really out here serving “don't talk to me” energy. I put some of those body language tips to the test and let's just say... results were mixed. Meanwhile, Carla is back in these dating streets and using ChatGPT to help cut through all the awkward small talk on Hinge and honestly, it's working! you'll have to hear it to believe it. What are ya'll thoughts on romantic relationships being transactional?  Now me? I stand ten toes down in the belief that all relationships are a give-and-take. Know your value, know what you want, and stop wasting time. Carla had a moment too—realizing that what she brings to a relationship is more than money, and honestly, that shift is powerful. But we had to ask—since women are out here buying homes, getting degrees, leveling up in every way—should we lower our standards when it comes to men? Whew, child.  We closed it out with a pivot to motherhood and policy—talking about Trump's “big beautiful bill” and how it's gonna make SNAP benefits harder to get for single moms. Work requirements, marital status hoops... it's a lot, and it's giving struggle for too many women. Tap in, y'all. This one's layered. We wanna see y'all IRL. We're planning some in-person events, just for the ladies. Click the link and let's get out the group chat.  Outside the Group Chat: Women's Meetups — Dex

This week's Friday Feels kicks off with Jared reading a wild email straight from Hinge warning him that he may have matched with a scammer, which shocks Jordana but begs the question, did she have big boobs? From there, J&J spiral into a hilarious breakdown of dating app red flags and how scams somehow still get the swipe! Jordana defends her claim that eating tuna on a plane isn't a crime, a lot of people love tuna! Then it's time for some truly petty (or prudent?) listener emails, including one woman who stayed rent-free in her ex's house and pulled off a stealth open house heist. Another listener hooked up with her downstairs neighbor and is now dodging plans, clingy texts, and sunburn lotion requests! Tune in on YouTube too!

In this episode of Running with Wolves, Savannah Jordan is calling out the thing most business owners avoid: objections. Spoiler—they're not rejections. They're just feedback. And if you know how to actually listen to what your lead is saying, you can turn “I'm not ready” into “Where do I pay?” with a few smart messaging shifts. Savannah's breaking down why most people handle objections all wrong, the real reason you keep getting hit with financial and urgency pushback, and how to lead the conversation with confidence instead of falling into convince-mode. You'll learn how to read the room, shift your strategy based on buyer type, and walk into every sales convo knowing you can close—even if the lead comes in ice cold. If your sales calls feel more like awkward Hinge messages you have to get a second opinion on, this one's your fix.   Got questions? MESSAGE Savannah on Instagram.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions. What’s the most passive aggressive text you’ve ever received? Is ‘K’, a thumbs up or no message at all the worst? Vibes for the week:Britt - Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup Keeshia - Electric Blanket Laura - ChatGPT scam check Then we jump into your questions! GUY CAME IN ME WITHOUT ASKING - AM I OVERREACTING? I started seeing a guy a few weeks ago that I was genuinely into. We met on Hinge, had been on a few dates, and things were going really well. He seemed sweet and thoughtful — he even UberEats-ed me Panadol when I mentioned I had a headache, and we’d had a lot of great chats. Fast forward to last week: he invited me over for a wine and pizza night. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex — unprotected (which I now regret, but I felt too awkward in the moment to say anything). Then, without asking or even warning me, he finished inside me. I was stunned. He gave me a kiss, got dressed, and didn’t bring it up at all. I just layed there in shock, pretending to fall asleep because I didn’t know how to respond.The next day, he sent me a long message apologising — completely unprompted — saying it was a split-second decision that he instantly regretted. While I appreciated the apology, I can’t shake the feeling that this is a dealbreaker. At that moment, he chose his own convenience over my autonomy and my body. I keep going back and forth in my head — am I overreacting? I’d love to know your thoughts, because as much as I liked him, I’m not sure I can come back from something like this so early on. FRIEND DITCHED ME AFTER BECOMING AN INFLUENCER What do you do if an old friend who you used to talk to from time to time suddenly unfollows you on insta after becoming an influencer? I went to primary school & most of high school with this person in a rural town. He was probably my first childhood crush & after high school he was trying to make it big through YouTube which I supported along the way. He even messaged me saying he was so grateful for my support. Then he started posting different content which got him really recognised & then he unfollowed a bunch of his old friends, including me. I still respond to his stories from time to time as he is constantly smashing massive goals in life to do with his career. However, recently he’s just gotten engaged which he posted on his story & it makes me sad to think he cut me off. I want to tell him congratulations & that I am excited for what the future brings for him, but every other reaction to his story is just met with a like of my reaction. What should I do? I’m not sure how to move on - if comes into my mind every time I see his stories. PEOPLE COMMENTING ON MY BABY’S BIG SIZE I have a 2.5 year old daughter who has always been a ‘big baby’. She was 4.3kg at birth and in the 95th percentile for height, weight and head when she was little and now she wears size 4. I honestly don’t even notice it (except picking her up sometimes) and she is a healthy happy child. However friends, family and strangers comment on her size all the time - wow she is so big, omg she is huge, constantly comparing her height to their children etc I have even had ‘being tall is ok but you also have to be really skinny otherwise it’s not attractive’ I guess my question is when the hell did we become ok with commenting on a child’s size/weight and how do I respond? My partner and I sometimes make jokes about the size of her head so we can take a joke these just go too far FRIEND WANTS TO BRING DAUGHTER INSTEAD OF HUSBAND TO OUR WEDDING We were meant to be married on March 7 on the Gold Coast. But due to cyclone Alfred our wedding was swept away. We have lost $35k and now in a legal battle with the venue and caterers (don't even get me started on that). Due to everything that’s happened we have decided to have a bit more of a low key wedding in Melbourne as that is where I am from and most of my friends and family are there. Anyway I have two close work mates I invited to the wedding. To be respectful I invited their husbands even though I don’t know them very well. One of them is coming solo. The other has asked if she can bring her 18 year old daughter instead of her husband.. I gotta ask what would you do? I said no btw.

Over the last few decades, our relationships have become increasingly mediated by technology. Texting has become our dominant form of communication. Social media has replaced gathering places. Dating starts with a swipe on an app, not a tap on the shoulder.And now, AI enters the mix. If the technology of the 2010s was about capturing our attention, AI meets us at a much deeper relational level. It can play the role of therapist, confidant, friend, or lover with remarkable fidelity. Already, therapy and companionship has become the most common AI use case. We're rapidly entering a world where we're not just communicating through our machines, but to them.How will that change us? And what rules should we set down now to avoid the mistakes of the past?These were some of the questions that Daniel Barcay explored with MIT sociologist Sherry Turkle and Hinge CEO Justin McLeod at Esther Perel's Sessions 2025, a conference for clinical therapists. This week, we're bringing you an edited version of that conversation, originally recorded on April 25th, 2025.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_. You can find complete transcripts, key takeaways, and much more on our Substack.RECOMMENDED MEDIA“Alone Together,” “Evocative Objects,” “The Second Self” or any other of Sherry Turkle's books on how technology mediates our relationships.Key & Peele - Text Message Confusion Further reading on Hinge's rollout of AI featuresHinge's AI principles“The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt“Bowling Alone” by Robert PutnamThe NYT profile on the woman in love with ChatGPTFurther reading on the Sewell Setzer storyFurther reading on the ELIZA chatbotRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESEcho Chambers of One: Companion AI and the Future of Human ConnectionWhat Can We Do About Abusive Chatbots?

Dear Wonderful Readers,The following vignette is what we call a “raw write.” I wrote it in 40 minutes in my writing class called UnMute, led by my incredible writing teacher, ANN RANDOLPH. I've been attending Ann's classes for the last three and a half years, and working with her has been a huge part of my creative journey. She'll be starting up UnMute again in the fall for any of you who have a lot of stories bubbling away inside of you but are unsure of where to start. I highly recommend her class.Today's prompt was the poem “What The Living Do” by Marie Howe, and I took the question: “Write about something broken in your home—something small and stupid. Let the description grow. What bigger thing does it mirror or hold? What grief or yearning lives inside that broken faucet, that squeaky hinge?”Also, I've got an exciting and quick Misseducated update. Starting this week, I will be experimenting with posting my work on Tuesdays. I've tended to publish too late on Friday evening, and I hope that publishing earlier in the week will give me more opportunities to share my work on social while it's still fresh. Still, I am eternally grateful to all my regular Friday readers, and I will keep you in the loop as to how it goes! You can expect posts from me on Tuesday from now on.I hope you enjoy this piece and have a great weekend.Love,Tash

We have a great listening audience who is very kind and left some heartfelt message.These Things Are Bad For TeethSipping lemon water all day - all that acid is terrible for teeth as it can lead to enamel erosion.Drinking green smoothies - Without a little calcium added in, the oxalates in raw spinach can actually pull minerals from your teeth.Snacking on dried fruit - they can raise the risk of cavities.Powering up with sports drinks - Energy drinks, Crystal Light and even “natural” sports drinks that are lower in calories can still be high in acidity. Grazing on Goldfish crackers - break down into simple sugars and coat kids' teeth like glue.The Best Thing You Can Say To Your Man:It will make him feel good, especially if it comes out of the blue (this is according to Marcus, by the way.)

Kenzie and Matthew have been dating for a little over ten months after meeting on Hinge and they actually both had mutual friends with one another. Kenzie tells us that she does travel for work, but because she has a dog Matthew has been dog-sitting for Kenzie. The other day Kenzie wanted to log into her HBO Max account and saw that someone named Allie was logged in and she has no idea how that was possible. Kenzie thinks Matthew may have had someone over when he dog-sitted for her last and she thinks whoever he brought over forgot to log out.   We call Matthew pretending to give him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask him who he wants them sent to, Matthew asks if they can be sent to Kenzie.
