Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Kasey Mahaffy who is currently starring as Alfie Byrne, a Dublin bus driver who directs community theater at night, in the musical A Man of No Importance at A Noise Within theater in Pasadena. Kasey talks about relating more to this role than any he's played in the past, how he and the rest of the cast honed their Irish accents, why now is a very meaningful time to be telling this story and what it's like to hear audience members audibly crying while you're trying to play a scene. He also talks about his role in the 2022 L.A. production of Matthew Lopez's epic gay play The Inheritance and how he and the entirely queer cast are still bonded to this day. Other topics include: being married to a fellow actor (Francisco Chapin from TV's Matlock) and how they met on OkCupid, how A Man of No Importance is a valentine to theater in addition to being a coming out story, how nice Matt LeBlanc was to him on his first TV gig on Joey, dissolving into tears at a Keith Haring art exhibit, Jennifer Coolidge sharing stories of road rage and what casting directors really mean when they say, "We need you to be more grounded." www.anoisewithin.org

 Looks very controversial but it works…A female computer scientist analyzed online dating at OkCupid from 10 Millions of daters.She analyzed all of the successful dating conversations between 2013 and 2018: 1.) 61% of conversations take place between an older man and a younger woman, and in almost half of them, the age gap is at least five years older. 2.) The older-woman-younger-man combo is significantly rarer (appearing in less than one-third of all conversations), and in only 12% of these is the woman at least five years older.3.) Men start 80% of conversations on OkCupid, and they tend to message younger women. The older men get the women, so younger the women are 4.) Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age. Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails.5.)But when women message men, they're actually more likely to get a response from younger men than they are from older ones. A 40-year-old woman will have better luck messaging a 25-year-old man (60% reply rate)   than a 55-year-old one (36% reply rate), according to the data. And a 30-year-old man is more likely to respond to a message from a 50-year-old woman than to a message from any other age group. When women make the first move, the age gap dating norm is reversed.For instance: Trevor, a 28-year-old mathematician,  “Well to be honest,” said Trevor, “I usually go for older women. They have more interesting jobs and hobbies, and their profiles are just better… no stupid selfie-only profiles.”For instance me. I had a tough life and very strenuous study with awful health problems. Until 25 years I was a virgin… And the dating with women didn't work out.So I have made the group Sexual Awareness in the Bhagwan/Osho scene… And then I was together with a 50 years old teacher who had already 4 kids in the same age as me… So what, she wanted sex like crazy, and I was capable ..,, And the relationship was very relaxed or the most relaxed relationship I ever had with a woman… There are a lot of those 50-year-old women who really clean up with the 20-year-old dudes. To be fair, very few 50-year-old women (fewer than 1%) actually message men this young, but when they do, they kill it.  In an interview, Cindy Gallop, the 57-year-old founder of MakeLoveNotPorn.com who openly champions the benefits of women dating younger men. My Video: Older women should date younger men! https://youtu.be/QJg89MdItxkMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Older-women-should-date-younger-men.mp3

Megan and Jordan both recently celebrated their 25th Birthdays! And by celebrated they mean crashed out about their impending expiration from an industry famously unkind to older women! Yippee! So here it is - the long awaited and truly infuriating episode about ageism and misogyny in Hollywood. Buckle up because we've all been indoctrinated…Jordan confronts the idea of the ‘expiration date', anti-aging culture and paradoxical procedures to prolong careers, villainous hags and youth as a type-cast. Megan discusses the women of Hollywood that are fighting the odds and showing us there's nothing brave about simply existing. They also explore the all too common experience of being “too old” to play the love interest of a much older man and how this can impact audiences and why an actress may choose to conceal her age.Jordan then takes things to a place of data, discussing the infamous OkCupid study that exposed the preferred dating age of men and women and the graphs that have haunted her since she saw them, and an article from The Guardian which provides data that shows the older women get, the less they are heard - literally! But it's not all doom and gloom, things are getting better - we just aren't there yet.And of course they couldn't end the episode without a discussion on The Substance.A heavy episode, look after yourselves!

Send us a textNavigating the dating world as someone on the asexual spectrum comes with unique challenges that many dating platforms simply weren't designed to address. Drawing from decades of personal experience across various dating platforms, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really means to date when sexual attraction isn't your primary motivation.The digital dating landscape often feels like it was built exclusively for those seeking immediate physical connections. For demi-attracted and asexual-spectrum folks who experience attraction primarily through emotional and intellectual connection, this creates a fundamental disconnect. How do you communicate your needs in a profile limited to a few hundred characters? When should you disclose your identity to potential matches? And perhaps most importantly—how do you find partners who value connection over immediate gratification?Through my journey across mainstream apps like Hinge, Bumble, and OkCupid to more alternative platforms like FetLife, I've developed strategies for authentic communication and boundary-setting. The reality is that even when you clearly label yourself as "asexual" or "demisexual" on your profile, most people won't understand what these terms mean—and fewer still will take the initiative to educate themselves.This episode isn't just for those on the ace spectrum. Anyone struggling with dating app frustration, communication issues, or the challenge of authentically representing themselves online will find practical insights here. I explore everything from profile creation to disclosure timing, safe sex negotiations, and finding communities where deeper connections are valued.Whether you identify as ace, are curious about different attraction styles, or simply want to understand a different perspective on dating, this raw and unfiltered conversation provides a window into dating differently in a hookup-oriented world. Ready to rethink how you approach connection? This is your invitation to join the discussion around the kinky campfire. Got a burning question about kink, BDSM, relationships, and/or navigating the wild world of alternative lifestyles? Send in your questions. No topic is too taboo, no curiosity too small!

This week, we've some discussion of aggressive bidets, the science of clitoral measurements, and why Sydney Sweeney may or may not be fluent in Russian. Mike shares his experience installing a high-end toilet seat that may or may not be waging psychological warfare on his anus. Keith explores the concept of malicious compliance, specifically how a government employee might secretly be helping birth control access by following bad orders too well. Meanwhile, Ally regrets mentioning that airport breastfeeding pods exist because now Mike is brainstorming ways to misuse them. We also break down the latest entry in the "songs that make Ben Shapiro furious" genre, dissecting the lyrics to Fat, Juicy, and Wet with the kind of forensic rigor normally reserved for congressional hearings. What exactly is "coochie water," and why is it being autographed? Did the songwriter fully grasp the anatomical implications of their rhymes? These are the questions that matter, and we bravely attempt to answer them, only to become more confused in the process. Later, we examine a listener's personal crisis, which starts as a question about losing her sex drive and ends in an existential conversation about whether orgasms are like hunger (or, in Ally's case, an optional theme park trip). Mike is irritated by the fact that women don't always want sex, Keith makes a sweeping generalization about men, and Ally tries to explain why sometimes the effort of getting naked is just too much. This leads, naturally, to a discussion of the OKCupid age-attraction graph and a thorough analysis of whether men are hopelessly deluded about their chances with 21-year-olds. The answer: yes, but hope springs eternal. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

Alors que le nombre de célibataires dans le monde est en constante augmentation, porté par la démographie et l'évolution des modes de vie, les applications de rencontre sont confrontées à un nombre d'abonnés en chute libre. La faute à l'éclatement de la bulle liée au Covid-19. « Les fonds spéculatifs sont tombés amoureux des applications de rencontre, les investisseurs feraient mieux de garder leurs distances », prévenait le très sérieux Financial Times le 19 septembre. On parle pourtant d'un marché mondial estimé à près de 10 milliards de dollars en 2022 et à qui certains analystes prédisaient une croissance de 7 % par an jusqu'à la fin de la décennie. Après tout, il y a plus de 2 milliards de célibataires dans le monde, chez les jeunes adultes c'est même un tiers des femmes et deux tiers des hommes. Depuis l'an dernier la majorité de la planète est équipée d'un smartphone. Les planètes Mars, Vénus et Mercure semblaient donc alignées : il y a d'ailleurs de plus en plus d'applications de rencontre : Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, OkCupid, Hitch... pour les plus connues. Chaque frange de la population désormais à la sienne, il y a des applis de niche pour les musulmans, les juifs, les chrétiens, pour les diasporas africaines, les conservateurs, les libéraux, les écolos et jusqu'aux fermiers américains. Que vous cherchiez l'âme sœur ou la compagnie d'un soir, il y a forcément une application pour vous.Le marché a largement profité du Covid-19, lorsque pour tenter de maîtriser la pandémie les gouvernements du monde entier ont imposé des confinements et des couvre-feux ; les bars, les restaurants et les salles de spectacles sont restés parfois fermés pendant des mois. Soudain privés de lieux de sociabilisation, les célibataires se sont massivement tournés vers les applications de rencontre. Le groupe Match, le leader du marché qui possède Tinder et une dizaine d'autres marques, a vu le nombre de ses utilisateurs payants passer de 13 millions début 2020 à près de 17 millions fin 2022.Le groupe Match, leader du marché, a vu sa valeur diviser par 5 en 3 ansMais depuis, on assiste à un retour de bâton post pandémie. De la même manière que le télétravail est redevenu l'exception, les célibataires du monde entier ont recommencé à se rencontrer dans la vraie vie, la bulle a éclaté et le nombre d'utilisateurs payants ne cesse de baisser. Tinder l'application la plus utilisée dans le monde a perdu 8% de ses utilisateurs payants au deuxième trimestre de cette année. Résultat : les actions en Bourse se sont effondrées : à son pic en 2021, le groupe Match était évalué à près de 50 milliards de dollars. Aujourd'hui il vaut 5 fois moins. L'action de son concurrent Bumble a elle perdu 90% de sa valeur depuis son entrée en Bourse en 2021. C'est ce qui explique l'entrée agressive au capital de plusieurs groupes de fonds d'investissement mentionnés par le FT. Mais on assiste là plus à des manœuvres de fonds vautour venus qu'à des investissements de long terme.Il y a également un paradoxe propre aux applications de rencontre : le service qu'elles vendent a vocation à leur faire perdre des clients. Même si ça n'est pas une règle de vie absolue, la majorité des clients de ces applis cherchent à rencontrer quelqu'un qui leur donnera envie de se désinscrire. Dans le monde des affaires, on appelle ça le « churn », l'attrition en bon français, c'est-à-dire la proportion de clients qui arrêtent d'utiliser votre produit. Sur ce marché de l'amour, il est très important. Les applis doivent donc sans cesse renouveler leur base utilisateurs dans un marché devenu ultra concurrentiel. Difficile dans ces conditions de séduire les investisseurs.

We're dating on the apps today y'all and swiping RIGHT on this episode! On the show for this conversation is Damona Hoffman, dating coach extraordinaire, online dating expert, author, podcast host, and dating correspondent for the Drew Barrymore Show (among other accolades)! Damona takes us through the process of using the dating apps as a tool to meet potential dates and find long lasting romance that begins with our mindset. We then go through the search, the match, and setting up the first date as we learn how to make the apps work for us rather than have them work our nerves! Along the way, we answer questions like:  Which app should I use? What if I'm frustrated cuz I don't feel they have worked for me in the past? What if I haven't been happy with my quality of matches? What should I put in my profile? What about pictures? How long should I talk on the apps before going on a date? What if I'm feeling burnt out? Do the apps even still work? Whether you're currently on the apps or thinking about making a profile, if you're asking yourself any of these questions, this episode is for you! About our guest:  Damona Hoffman is a regular contributor to The Drew Barrymore Show, NPR, and The Washington Post. She was also featured in Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Damona has created content and collaborated with most major dating apps including Bumble, Match, and OkCupid. Her podcast, Dates & Mates, was named Best Podcast of the Year by The Black Podcasting Awards. Damona's first book, "F the Fairy Tale," was released January 2024 (Hachette/Seal Press) and is endorsed by Dr. Drew Pinsky, Drew Barrymore, Lori Gottlieb and more. You can connect with Damona on Instagram, online at www.damonahoffman.com, and grab of copy of "F the Fairytale" here. The "Dates and Mates" podcast is streaming on all major podcasting platfroms. About your host:  Benjamin is a flirt and dating coach sharing his love of flirting and BFE - big flirt energy, with the world! A lifelong introvert and socially anxious member of society, Benjamin now helps singles and daters alike flirt with more confidence, clarity, and fun! As the flirt is all about connection, Benjamin helps the flirt community (the flirties!) date from a place that allows the value of connection in all forms - platonic and romantic connection - to take center stage and transform lives for greater healing and ultimately, a deeper connection with the self. You can connect with Benjamin on Instagram, TikTok, stream the Flirtations Flirtcast everywhere you listen to podcasts (like right here!), and find out more about working together 1:1 here.

Where did the idea of “happily ever after” or “finding the one” even come from in the first place? Is it even obtainable? What are some of the common myths that people buy into regarding dating and relationships? What are some of the ways people can break free from those dating myths and create the dating or love life they truly desire? About our guest: Damona Hoffman is a celebrity dating coach, host of the award-winning podcast Dates & Mates, and the official love expert of The Drew Barrymore Show. She has written dating columns for the LA Times and the Washington Post and worked as a dating expert and spokesperson for top dating apps including OkCupid, Match, and Bumble. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children. In F The Fairytale, Damona Hoffman dismantles the dating habits and beliefs that have been leading us astray—those notions of instant chemistry and the relentless quest for "the One." She points out how modern daters are clinging to outdated rulebooks that served our grandparents and parents well but have failed to adapt to the seismic shifts in technology and gender equality. Like many, I too once subscribed to these outdated ideals. The consequence? We find ourselves in an era with more single adults in the U.S. than ever before. But Damona empowers readers to shatter these limiting dating myths and seize control of their own love narratives. This isn't just another dating book; it's a refreshing exploration of how factors like race, class, and gender intersect with our dating lives. Dr. Drew Pinsky calls the book "entertaining, smart, and fun; the reader will find something here that speaks to them and enhances their dating lives."
