Manage episode 486414270 series 3654117
Remember when finding a date meant passing notes, having friends play matchmaker, or actually—gasp—approaching someone in person? GentheBuilder and Kory take you on a nostalgic journey through the evolution of dating while sharing hilarious stories that will have you nodding in recognition or thanking your lucky stars you're not single.
Their generational journey through dating history covers everything from writing "I love you" on Vans sneakers to the Penny Saver phone dating lines (remember paying by the minute just to hear someone's voice?) to the chat room era that brought both connections and scams. They thoughtfully contrast these past approaches with today's swipe culture, examining what's been gained and lost along the way.
Whether you're happily partnered or navigating the dating scene yourself, this episode offers equal parts nostalgia, comedy, and genuine reflection on how technology continues to reshape our search for connection. How do you hope dating evolves for future generations? Share your thoughts and dating disaster stories with us!
Midlife is freaking hard. Let's flip the script.
