21 - Love Bombing Is My Love Language

Liz joins Rachel with a wildly patriotic dating strategy: straight girlies should date moderate men on Hinge and convert them “for the good of the country.” What starts as a bit turns into a chaotic debate about manipulation as civic duty, alpha vs. handyman men, why no one in New York stands up on the subway, and whether picking someone up from the airport is the ultimate green flag. They also unpack bridesmaid cult economics, bachelor party boot camps, and the terrifying rise of men who make personal dating websites with their net worth listed. Then things take a sharp left into love bombing, situationships, and falling in love fast and hard. Liz tells the full rom-com story of meeting a 6'4 Greek improv god, kissing before speaking, and raising her romantic standards forever. They talk about raising your bar, dating across cultures, whether opposites attract or exhaust, and why hot girls absolutely have stuffed animals on their beds. Political, emotional, delusional, and deeply sincere — just another night at the slumber party. -- Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Liz Coin on Instagram Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Liz joins Rachel with a wildly patriotic dating strategy: straight girlies should date moderate men on Hinge and convert them “for the good of the country.” What starts as a bit turns into a chaotic debate about manipulation as civic duty, alpha vs. handyman men, why no one in New York stands up on the subway, and whether picking someone up from the airport is the ultimate green flag. They also unpack bridesmaid cult economics, bachelor party boot camps, and the terrifying rise of men who make personal dating websites with their net worth listed.

Then things take a sharp left into love bombing, situationships, and falling in love fast and hard. Liz tells the full rom-com story of meeting a 6'4 Greek improv god, kissing before speaking, and raising her romantic standards forever. They talk about raising your bar, dating across cultures, whether opposites attract or exhaust, and why hot girls absolutely have stuffed animals on their beds. Political, emotional, delusional, and deeply sincere — just another night at the slumber party.
