Jared Freid is back on Ask a Matchmaker to talk about his new book, Walking Red Flag, and why most dating advice completely misses the average guy's perspective. Jared and Maria dive into the "types of singles," why family setups may be better than dating apps, the difference between "main street" and "alleyway" dating, and whether social media is making dating harder than it needs to be. They also debate TikTok dating rules, the taxi cab theory, Snapchat requests, Uber expectations, and why "if he wanted to, he would" might be terrible advice. Plus, Jared plays a rapid-fire round of "Walking Red Flag or Overthinking It?" and gives his take on some of the internet's favorite dating debates.   Support the sponsors, support the show!

It's Mailbag Monday, and Jared is answering listener emails and giving advice on real life problems

Bestie, you might want to grab a notebook for this one. This week, we're joined by TV writer turned matchmaker, dating coach, and author of Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker, Jaydi Samuels Kuba, to break down what it actually takes to find lasting love in today's dating world. We get into modern dating, matchmaking, dating apps, dealbreakers, and why so many of us may be searching for love the wrong way.  We talk about the difference between preferences and true dealbreakers, why instant chemistry isn't always the best predictor of long-term compatibility, and how an endless checklist can keep us from seeing the people who are actually right for us. Jaydi also shares how she accidentally matched herself with her now-husband, what she's learned after helping countless couples find love, and why lasting relationships are built on shared values - not just the fact that you both love dogs, hiking, and spicy margs.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Jeff Shafritz, a franchise consultant who has spent his entire career in franchising and has been helping people find the right business opportunity for over 20 years. Jeff started out selling season tickets for the Georgetown Hoyas, stumbled into franchise development at Athlete's Foot in Atlanta, worked his way up to Director of Franchise Development of the Americas, and then had the rug pulled out from under him on September 11th, 2001, thirteen days after his first son was born. He was in a new city with nothing lined up. That's when franchise consulting started, and he hasn't looked back since. What makes Jeff different from most people in his space is that he doesn't think of himself as a salesperson. He thinks of himself as a matchmaker, closer to a buyer's real estate agent than a traditional sales rep. His job is to figure out whether franchising is even the right path for someone, and if it is, to find the specific opportunity that fits their goals, their skillset, their investment range, and the kind of life they actually want to live. He gets paid by the franchisor, not the candidate, and because franchising is regulated by the FTC, the fee is the same no matter how someone finds their franchise. Working with Jeff costs nothing extra and gets you someone in your corner who has no incentive to push you toward the wrong fit. Ty and Jeff get into what actually separates elite performers from average ones in this business. Jeff's answer is simple: consistency and not chasing the deal. The people who burn out or wash out are the ones focused on closing something, anything, just to get paid. Jeff's whole model is built on doing right by the person in front of him, even when that means telling someone they shouldn't buy a business at all. He had that exact conversation recently with someone who had the money but not the motivation. He told them to walk away. That kind of honesty is what's built his referral base over two decades. One of the most honest moments in this conversation is when Jeff admits that even he was terrified when he finally bought his own fitness franchise. He had spent his entire career helping other people through that anxiety, and then when it was his turn to sign, he froze. His wife had to sit him down and remind him that this was literally his area of expertise. It's a good reminder that fear doesn't care how much you know. It shows up anyway, and the goal isn't to eliminate it. It's to do the work, make the informed decision, and move forward anyway. They also get into a conversation that a lot of parents need to hear: the real cost comparison between sending a kid to college who doesn't know what they want versus putting that same money into a low-overhead franchise. Jeff has worked with families spending $120,000 to $250,000 on a four-year degree for a kid who isn't sure what they want to study. For that same investment, someone could open a business, build real equity, and walk away four years later with something worth selling. He's not anti-college. He's pro-options, and he makes the case clearly. The story that sticks from this conversation is a client Jeff worked with during the 2008 recession. The guy had lost a significant amount of money in real estate, had very little left, and refused to go work for someone else. Jeff helped him find an in-home senior care franchise. Within a few years, that business was generating serious cash flow and eventually sold for multiple millions of dollars. Jeff calls it a resurrection story, and it's the kind of outcome that keeps him doing what he does. His message to anyone sitting on the fence about business ownership is straightforward: you don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to pay for the help. The conversation is free. The only question is whether you're ready to have it.

The randomizer created the rosters. Now the booking begins.On this Smark Out Moment Fantasy Booking / Match Maker episode of the Smack Talk podcast, we take the follow-up step from the Mock Draft and try to turn five-era WWE rosters into actual cards.

J&J get into a recent article where they mention dating has become a luxury in 2026! From $20 coffee dates to the hidden “pink tax” women pay just to get ready, maybe it really is too expensive to date these days. Then they break down Bumble's new AI matchmaker “Bumblebee,” why Jared thinks dating apps are just slot machines for lonely men, and whether AI is making modern dating even more fake. Plus, an “Icky or Picky” email about a college guy admitting he masturbates to a match's profile photo sparks a surprisingly nuanced conversation about dating expectations, sexual honesty, and learning how to date in your 20s. Later, they unpack a marriage conflict years in the making after a husband still hasn't read his wife's wedding vows, and why “testing” your partner instead of communicating never works.

Can ambition ruin a relationship? Matchmaker Maria sits down with author and journalist Stefanie O'Connell  to unpack why ambitious women are still being labeled "too much" in dating, work, and marriage. They discuss the research behind men pulling away when women out-earn them, why women still do more household labor even when they make more money, and how "provider mentality" can sometimes really mean control. Maria also shares what she's seeing in modern dating, from men wanting "ambitious women" until they actually meet one, to the rise of trad wife content and 27-year-olds panicking over finding a husband. Plus, they answer a listener question from a NYC finance executive whose boyfriend admitted he was intimidated by her career success. Check out Stefanie's new book!

Maria Avgitidis sits down with Justin Garcia, PhD of the Kinsey Institute to break down the science behind modern dating, ghosting, dating apps, attraction, AI in dating, hookup culture and relationships. Maria and Justin get into why over 70% of singles have fallen for someone they usually wouldn't think they'd be attracted to and why Gen Z says they value authenticity yet nearly 50% of them are using AI in their dating lives. They discuss whether first-date chemistry is overrated, why ghosting may actually may come from fear of rejection and conflict, and the difference between social monogamy and sexual monogamy. Plus, Justin shares the Kinsey Institute's research on emojis, sexting, hookup culture, pair bonding, and why "the grass is greener where you water it" may be the most important dating advice singles need right now!

Tell us what you like or dislike about this episode!! Be honest, we don't bite!Dubai dating is a different planet. In this episode, Matt sits down with Christiana Maxion, a high-net-worth matchmaker who works with wealthy men looking for a serious partner, and charges $65,000 to $350,000 to do it. They get into the brutal reality of “transactional” dating, where people say they want respect, while negotiating the relationship like a deal. Christiana explains why every relationship is transactional (money, emotions, sex, status, pick your currency), and why the real difference is the standard you hold and the environment you keep putting yourself in. Then it turns into pure business: how her offline matchmaking agency works (vetting, background checks, concierge dates, feedback loops), what “success” actually means, and how she's scaling it with MAX, a “matchmaking app” built to stop people wasting their lives in DMs and get them to the first date faster. You'll hear Matt & Christiana talk about:Why Dubai dating feels pay-to-play, and how to avoid ending up in the same loop. The real reason men pay $65k–$350k for matchmaking (hint: it's not romance, it's time). What her process actually looks like: vetting, alignment, concierge dates, and feedback. “Delusional” requirements (and the fastest way to ruin your dating life). How she built MAX: subscriptions, verification, compatibility matching, and auto-booked first dates. The business model behind a matchmaking agency (and why referrals are the real growth engine). Why she's building separate matchmaking “portals” (expats, India, Muslim marriages) and expanding across the GCC. Timestamps:0:00 – Dubai dating is “transactional” (and why) 6:29 – “Every relationship is transactional” (standards vs expectations) 7:38 – How she started “Dating in Dubai” and got fired for it 9:26 – “I'm going to solve dating in Dubai” → launching matchmaking 10:13 – Why she only represents men + the 40,000-women database 11:03 – The pricing: $65k–$350k + what “success” means 13:38 – The “delusional age range” problem (and why it fails) 19:33 – MAX: paid subscriptions + passport/LinkedIn verification 20:37 – Why swiping broke dating + how MAX gets you to a real date 27:35 – App growth: UAE applications, active users, revenue 30:09 – A real success story (and a brutal horror story) 35:52 – What she's building next (GCC expansion + new portals) 37:10 – Where to find Christiana + MAX Follow Christiana MaxionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/christiana.maxion.matchmaker/Website: https://christianamaxion.comApp: Maxion (available on the App Store)Enjoyed this episode?

Morgan is joined by professional matchmaker Alessandra Conti for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at modern dating. From screening clients and asking tough compatibility questions to spotting anxious-avoidant dynamics in real time, she explains what actually makes a match last, and what quietly causes relationships to fail. They unpack why so many people feel like their city is the worst place to date, how burnout and “city fatigue” impact our mindset, and why boundaries, attachment styles, and shared values matter more than surface-level traits. They also talk about the scarcity trap, the abundance mindset, and how to date intentionally without losing yourself in the process.
