Lindsay Perrin is back on Dear Bianca for the third time, and this one has it all. We go deep into her journey as a surrogate for two gay dads in NYC—from the very beginning to postpartum and everything in between. She opens up about what it was like being pregnant without a partner, how it compared to her pregnancies with her two kids, and the real highs and lows she faced along the way. Of course, we couldn't skip the fun stuff: Lindsay tells me about making a Hinge profile while pregnant (yes, really), what dating was like during that time, and what she's actually looking for in a partner now. Younger women might still be her thing… but she also admits she has a thing for Kris Jenner post-surgery LOL.  And we wrap up by chatting about her 3rd annual NYC Lesbian Bar Crawl and what caused Lindsay and I had a little tiff that we hash out live on the mic. So grab your headphones, get comfy, and let's dive in.  If you love Dear Bianca, please follow, rate and review the podcast — it seriously helps the show grow.

I lost my mother to breast cancer when she was only 57. It breaks my heart she never met my husband. But I have to believe she had a hand in getting us together. We are not doing our annual fundraiser because of unforeseen circumstances, and I can't help but feel like a failure. I am not drinking due to a very attractive fatty liver. I wanted to do a little self-comforting. I found my solution. My sister actually said she did this when she stopped drinking. I brough two bags of Halloween candy home and it was the best afternoon ever. Second Date UpdateTodd is on to figure out what went wrong with Alexis, a girl he met on Hinge and went out twice with.

Dating apps have long been associated with finding romance or casual hookups, but recent research reveals a far broader range of motivations driving their use. According to a study highlighted by Global Dating Insights, users are turning to platforms like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge for purposes that extend well beyond love or fleeting connections. From seeking social validation to combating loneliness, exploring identity, or even making professional connections, dating apps have evolved into multifaceted social tools.A comprehensive meta-synthesis published in the journal *Psychology of Personal Relationships* (DOI: 10.1177/02654075251366963) delves deeper into these diverse motives. The study synthesizes qualitative data from multiple sources to identify key reasons people engage with online dating platforms. While romantic and sexual pursuits remain significant, the research highlights other compelling drivers, such as building friendships, seeking emotional support, and experimenting with self-presentation in a low-stakes digital environment. For some, these apps serve as a way to boost self-esteem through matches and interactions, while others use them to navigate social anxieties or connect with like-minded communities.These findings challenge the stereotype that dating apps are solely for romantic or physical connections, showcasing their role as dynamic social hubs. As dating apps continue to shape modern relationships, their versatility underscores a broader shift in how people seek connection, validation, and community in the digital age. Whether it's a quest for love, a confidence boost, or a new friend, dating apps are proving to be far more than just a swipe for romance.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

Michaelmas Eve – when the year tips into the dark. The last geese sizzle, the last debts get squared, and the devil, they say, is out spitting on the blackberries. It's a night for charms, for peering into bowls of water to see who you'll marry – or if you'll die – and for hoping St. Michael, sword flashing, is on duty. Because after tonight, the dark takes over.

Selon certaines vidéos TikTok devenues virales, la théorie de l'olive, tirée de la célèbre série américaine How I Met Your Mother, serait la solution pour trouver l'amour.  Comme l'explique Logan Ury, directrice d'un département de l'application de rencontres Hinge dans un article de Elle Australie, cette théorie pousserait à élargir ses horizons. Alors que beaucoup de Français sentent une pression à trouver leur âme soeur, elle serait pourtant à portée de main. Mais quel rapport entre l'amour et ce petit fruit ? Pourquoi aimer ou détester les olives aurait un impact sur l'avenir d'un couple ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez".

Melissa and Arron have been together for 4months now and they meet on Hinge; they took things pretty fast and hung out a lot right after matching on hinge. Melissa had a big talk with Aaron about taking the next step, which is moving in together, being how they have been together for 6months.

Many technology companies infamously measure their success based on how long someone spends in their app. That amount of screen time may or may not be good for a person's wellbeing, but executives don't see that as their problem. Not all CEOs have fallen into that trap, though. Bill Ready, the head of Pinterest, and Justin McLeod, who runs the dating app Hinge, have different priorities. When the writing on the wall was becoming more apparent and more disturbing, they led resets at their companies and looked for ways to put their users' health first. Success for them means getting people out into the real world for healthy activities and in-person social engagement. And it turns out, that's actually good for business, too. The editor-in-chief of Allure and Self magazines, Jessica Cruel, interviews the two CEOs about how they pulled off these positive pivots.

A Third Of Americans Admit A Partner's Messiness Makes Them Less AttractiveA new survey reveals that 61% say clutter has caused tension with their partner and 37% admit their partner's messiness has made them feel less attracted to them. Some take clutter cleanup into their own hands, including 38% who have secretly purged their partner's things, while 16% have been victims of these purges. Are you and your partner on the same page when it comes to cleanliness? People Are Unethical When It Comes To AIA new study is showing that some people had increasing dishonesty and lied to the chatbot when given the chance to reap a reward. The good news is that in one test 75-percent of people stayed ethical, but the other 25-percent had no problem lying or cheating… or making AI do it for them. Unfortunately, the more money or rewards that was involved the higher the number of subjects cheating with AI rose… at one point it hit 84-percent. We are all doomed. AI is going to realize they are smarter than us and we will all be enslaved by Skynet. My logic is undeniable.Should Marcus Wear A Special Shirt To His Daughter's Game? (Follow-Up)Marcus ordered a jersey that looks like his 11-year old daughter's volleyball jersey. It even has their last name on it.

Something Crazy Happened Before Our Food Drive AppearanceMarcus takes me to the nicest places. Before our appearance at Sprouts, we checked out Dino's for lunch, then Marcus wanted to take us to a dive bar. We are decked in 49er gear and it is a Raider bar. The men were mostly hammered, but cool. It didn't get crazy until a wee drunk man started massaging every one at the bar, including yours truly. Let's just say Marcus put the hammer down and some other guys physically removed him after he touched an older female. Good times.Frugal Tips People Swear By On Buzzfeed"Our prepaid cellphone plan saves us $100 a month from what we were paying.""Using the public library. Many now offer free streaming services, audiobooks, and ebooks.""Using actual dish towels instead of paper towels.""Shop from your pantry first, and sales flyers second.

This is the only way to ensure you will have money at retirement. Take money out of your check, or have your employer do this.""Ordering groceries online. I'm guilty of impulse buys, and simply ordering groceries for pickup saves me $20+ each time."Party Evite "Maybe"Marcus had a duel birthday party this past weekend and we are trying to decipher what is more frustrating: someone responds "yes," but doesn't show up. They reply "no," but show up. Or they click "maybe," and never give a definitive answer. We are thinking they just need to remove the "maybe" option.Second Date UpdateDamon said his dinner with Kendra was the best he'd had in months. They met on Hinge. He bragged that she was beautiful, funny, and didn't seem fazed when he suggested dessert after. He thought that was a good sign. She wasn't in a hurry to leave. Damon told us he couldn't wait to see her again.

Words That Irk YouMarcus was triggered the other day by a particular word. Which led us to discuss what words just get under our skin. Here are a few: Libation is the one that got Marcus. He hates it. We also included a couple of phrases. I hate "I'm just sayin'.'' Saying what? You haven't said anything. You have explained anything, you haven't defended anything...it says nothing. We asked for talkbacks on words that get you. My last word was 'Marcus.Phrases Your Co-Workers Say When They Are About To Quit“I'm really burnt out right now”“I'm not sure how much longer I can do this”“I need a break from this place”“I've been thinking about my future a lot lately”“I think I need a change of environment”“I'm starting to feel like my work isn't valued”“I've been thinking about my work-life balance”“This place makes me frustrated”“I don't feel challenged anymore”“I just don't know if I see myself here long-term”Why Girls Night Is EssentialGirls' nights out are almost always a good time, but according to a new survey, women say they're not just fun, they're necessary. 87% say they need it.Even though life is busy, women say they need one every 22 days to feel balanced, as it's a chance to reconnect with their besties. For 88% of women, wine is the beverage of choice for girls' night, and 85% report that they open a bottle within 16 minutes of the first guest arriving.⠀Second Date UpdateBrandon called about Tessa.

Perhaps a phone case that doesn't fit any phone in the house? Gen X is discussing which Gen Z beliefs they think are total nonsense.

It's their responsibility to maintain their boundaries and mental health, not everyone else's.""That clout equals value. No! Validation is cheaper than ramen, and it doesn't feed your soul.""That dating apps want you to find someone.""That influencers live the lives they post.""That AI is making their writing better.""Believing tolerance is synonymous with unconditional acceptance.""Thinking that all struggle is bad."What else do you think?Corey's Health UpdateShe had a Zoom call with her hepatology doctor. She was great. They talked about the next steps in treating the high numbers with her cholesterol and triglycerides.

Elena called us about Victor. They matched on Hinge and went out for seafood in Mill Valley. Elena said they shared oysters, talked about work, discussed hobbies and what books they are reading.

We kick start this week's episode with a curveball for Sam as one of his so-called enemies dials in live on the pod. Sean from Hinge, the guy who once listed Sam as his irrational fear on his profile, joins us to confront him head-on! From there, things take another turn with a big question: what actually makes a MILF? That innocent query quickly spirals into some eye-opening revelations from Pete, who casually admits he's dated not one but two MILFs. We've also got a fresh Great Barr United update as the long-awaited shirts finally arrive, though Sam's comes with a surprise of its own. And to wrap things up, Question Time sparks a fiery debate that splits the room: would you rather never kiss again, or never have sex again?

Chris and Lauren first matched on Hinge three weeks ago and actually had their first date the same night they matched. They got dinner together and ever since they have gone on multiple dates with one another. Chris tells us they haven't “defined the relationship,” but this past weekend Chris did invite Lauren to hang out with his friends to watch the Ravens game, but Lauren never responded. Lauren actually hasn't messaged Chris back at all and he isn't sure what went wrong.   We call Lauren trying to figure out if there is anything else between her and Chris that happened that may have caused things to go wrong and she tells us that she wasn't a fan of what Chris didn't want to show up to. Find out what's really going on in this Second Date Update! 

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Match Group (ticker: MTCH), a company that operates as part of a duopoly in online dating, owning a number of dating platforms, including Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid, and more, with specialized platforms appealing to certain demographics and dating niches. During the Pandemic, the company was a popular growth stock, but as the number of paying users at Tinder has declined, the business has stagnated, and the market has punished it severely. Yet, the company is still quite profitable, yielding a seemingly attractive valuation.  In this episode, you'll learn about the unique business behind online dating, why Match is having trouble resonating with Gen Z, how large the TAM is for online dating, the most important things the company is focusing on to reinvigorate Tinder, why Hinge may be the future of Match Group and online dating, and whether Match Group is attractively priced, plus so much more!

The boys hosted the NTAs red carpet this week - but Sam wasn't twinning with Pete as planned?! Daytime TV Sam also made his return and Pete had some strong opinions about that beaded necklace.Next up was Pete's favourite segment: The Summer I Turned Pretty UPDATE! But we turn the tables and ask if Pete and Sam were in their own Conrad vs. Jeremiah love triangle, who do they think Belly would actually pick?!Sam also admitted he's feeling the pressure ahead of his Lily James interview. She's famously not a fan of Hinge voice notes, and with Sam having a not-so-secret crush, the boys ran some role-play practice to help his nerves. And then there was Pete's take on Zoë Kravitz... very much his type, but possibly out of reach if the Harry Styles rumours are true.And to round things off, the boys revealed their best attempt at “nonchalant” animal impressions.

Jared is coming to you live from Delray Beach for Mailbag Monday! He sets the vibe with tour shoutouts for Winnipeg and Kansas City, plus a push to catch the weekly stand-up on YouTube. He teases a chaotic car buying saga for later this week, then jumps into emails with coffee in hand and peak football season feelings. First up, a listener drowning in her in-laws' family group chat wants a graceful exit without starting a war. Then a 35-year-old asks why Hinge matches are suddenly leading with friends with benefits and whether it is a trend or her profile. Finally, a marriage on shaky trust after an emotional affair spirals over a mysterious laptop photo and what real repair should look like.Support the show and get 25% off your first Tommy John order at https://www.tommyjohn.com/FEATHERSupport the show & get 50% off your first Factor box, plus free breakfast for a year with the code JTRAIN50OFF at https://www.factormeals.com/JTRAIN50OFF
