Bee is smart and funny... And yet every man assumes she wants to see pictures of their penis in 8 different states.
She is looking for a gentleman, but most men are just looking to 'bonk.'
This is a great episode and Bee is brilliant.
Enjoy.

Ingrid is incredible... eloquent and erudite (I've since found out she is a voice-over artist).
She tells us some great stories.
Like all our incredible women, though, Ingrid has had her fair share of numpty dates.
She talks about dick pics, ghosting, catfishing and all the usual nonsense that women have to put up with dating online... but she does so with a witty confidence that is catching and inspirational.
Would that we could all be Ingrid.

Many thanks to Denise Banks for conducting this interview so beautifully; to Joanna Suchomska for connecting with Ingrid and making this interview possible; and to Ele Berrie for her editing skills.

Jane has spent much of her working life as a floor trader…. As in stocks and shares, not carpets and tiles.

She talks about the difficulty of dating someone who earns less money than you.

She doesn’t suffer fools gladly, or those who have lied on their profile.
She is also a self-confessed snob… which she apparently gets from her mother.

She also calls out one particular dating app as a ‘knocking shop’ and comments on the phenomenon of men holding a fish in their profiles pics.

Many thanks to Joanna Suchomska for connecting with Jane and making this interview possible and to Ele Berrie for her editing skills.

A slight change to the script this week... We have comedian & activist Kate Smurthwaite as our guest.
Many thanks to Joanna Suchomska for connecting with Kate and securing this interview.
The conversation took place over Zoom during the UK lockdown of 2021.
Kate has been using online dating for quite some time (her own words) and talks about navigating apps as a polyamorous woman.
She discusses a Facebook page she set up called OK Stupid (where women can share and discuss some of the less than savoury messages they have receieved from men) as well as many other related topics.
Kate is funny, eloquent and ready to share her thoughts on every subject... Enjoy.
