Hi everyone! Just so you know I have a very low tolerance for harassment on my playlists. Anyone with negative words about me or my guests will be blocked. If you have concerns, send them to ken at wfmu dot org

I need to ask... if he does the Grandpa wouldn't be in NYC. Wondering if I should invite him to passover with my Grandma? I think meeting the family is pretty serious, right?

teecer:

Meeting family isn't always a serious event. It depends on how often you see your family. I met my boyfriend's parents when we were picking up his dog from their house, totally unannounced and unplanned.

Would you bring a friend to Passover? If so, then I'd say it's not that big of a deal if you bring the guy that you're dating.

Yeah, Laura is so talented. Since she did that story for this pilot episode, it's already been picked up by some creative documentary radio shows in Australia! Our first syndication success.

Brigitte:

Perpetually demonstrating low interest, urgh.
  7:37pm
Robert:

Ange, we could probably work on the tolerance problem. You're already more tolerant of criticism than a lot of people on YouTube, but I bet we could introduce it a little at a time and make you better at it.

Most important thing to remember is that YOU HAVE A SHOW! No matter what criticism you get, remember that THEY don't have a show. THEY are already coming to your "house", and by entering even criticism, they're acknowledging that they're listening to you.
Avatar 7:37pm
teecer:

@Callieflower, was he also the inspiration for Fantasy Man?
  7:39pm
JakeGould:

It sounds like the guy is basically coaching a sociopath on how to be a human being, “If you say something to someone & they do not show interest, don’t push it. If someone shows interest, that means they are interested.”
  7:39pm
Brigitte:

I feel like some people don't want to accept that there should be a *moment* of attraction, originating from some sort of primal place. Otherwise it just feels forced, phoney and exhausting for both parties...
  7:41pm
JakeGould:

I have this rulebook I play by: If I have never had an interaction with you, I will give you a change. If you are a nice person, I am nice to you. If you are are an asshole, smell ya later!

Ange:

@Robert The criticism about the show doesn't bug me. It's that it gets in the way of actual conversation, because all of you feel like you need to come to my defense... it's just a bad vibe. Also, I don't like hearing my guests criticized -- we can disagree with them, just not call them names.

Callieflower:

Oh, no. He's advising men to start randomly touching us, isn't he?

"Touch Tease Tell" sounds like the name of a game show hosted by Richard Dawson or Bob Eubanks.

Consuela:

Women love paint, men love alliterations. Makes sense to me!

Ange, there is some social engineering thing that they even teach to salespeople to do where you lightly tap someone’s elbow during a convo to get them to fall into your sway.

He acknowledged that the whole idea of "The Friendzone" occurs when a man shows attention to a women WITHOUT making his romantic intentions known. So why do men complain about getting friendzoned? They bring it on themselves!
Avatar 7:48pm
Callieflower:

Yeah, I'm refusing to let men claim I'm forcing that upon them when they're too passive to act like romance is a priority
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:48pm
dale:

this sounds creepy but his methodology is no less valid than hooking up in a bar. or meeting sailors to rid you of your mouse infestation. 'randy' from a couple weeks back is extremely confident, yet a douche. who's way is better?

I don't date guys I can't be friends with..

The Friend Zone? Is that the one where Christopher Walken screams, “The ice! It’s gonna break!”

You get zero points for making it into the friendzone. You get six points for entering the endzone.

The idea of making achieving various levels in dating just creeps me out to no end

Christopher Walken in “The Friend Zone” has advice on breaking the ice. www.youtube.com...
  7:51pm

I am sure some men take parts his advice in order to rack up women. At least that is how I feel when a man I am not *feeling* takes this approach. It can feel staged and that is a real turn off.

You're going to ruin it if I find out you're looking at me in terms of weird, arbitrary steps, Mr. Nice Guy

Taking this advice, as a woman in America, is a different story.

How about this: Ask her, "If you wanted to find out how interested you were in me, what would you say?"
