Girls Gotta Eat

There's a reason why there are so many incredible, successful, beautiful women who struggle to find a decent partner, while (*cough* mediocre) men seem to have no problem on the dating scene, and we're deep diving into the data behind this frustrating phenomenon with Jon Birger, author of Date-Onomics and the upcoming book Make Your Move. We discuss how geography plays a part (yes, there are cities/towns where the odds are more in one gender's favor), and how women can widen their dating pool. And we're also chatting about making the first move, how and why to do it, the bad advice women have been given for years, and Jon offers his strategy for finding a compatible partner (spoiler alert: it involves getting off the apps). We also review Bridgerton, debate some sexual language Ashley received, and Rayna reveals her new bush goal.  Enjoy! Check out more on Jon at his website, and pre-order his upcoming book Make Your Move. Follow him on Twitter @JonBirger1. Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley

We're starting 2021 strong with the incomparable, hilarious Nikki Glaser and there's no holding back. We discuss her decision to quit drinking and how she did it, accepting and loving your looks in an appearance-obsessed culture, being DTF but the challenge of finding a guy who gets you horny enough, farting during sex, anal, new tips for Amazon style sex, and more. We also bring in Andrew Collin to chat about moving to St. Louis to live with Nikki and why he waxed his back beforehand, plus more off-the-rails topics like winter pussy vs. summer pussy. We're also catching up on Rayna's recent sexcapade and Ashley's big dating change for the new year. Hope you enjoy! Follow Nikki on Instagram @NikkiGlaser and check her website for more.

We have the hilarious, refreshingly honest duo Cat and Nat join us to spit some real truths about motherhood and marriage -- everything from feeling lost as a new mom (which is what bonded them together) to why marriage isn't a fairytale (don't worry, they're both happily married). We're also discussing how Covid has changed them forever, how they balance a sex life with 7 kids between them, why you shouldn't look for a "best friend" in the person you marry, and their team of male strippers (spoiler alert: they've stripped for us, too). And we tell a story about something hilarious/embarrassing that happened to Rayna, Ashley recaps her latest date, and we have a slew of recs for you. Enjoy and happy holidays!

We also discuss the way we narrate our lives and how to examine your "storytelling" to make positive changes, and share advice for when you're feeling depressed/rejected/anxious. Plus, we're catching up on a recent engagement (hint: one of our exes) and dating guys who have been vaccinated, AND bringing back a hilarious round of Is This Weird? Hope you enjoy!

We're talking about friends of the opposite sex -- addressing the age-old question "Can men and women just be friends?", discussing what healthy, platonic relationships look like, and deep diving on JEALOUSY.  We're breaking down being jealous/skeptical of a partner's friendships (from both sides) and how to handle it, from the self-talk to distinguishing the difference between innocent and suspicious behavior to deciding if someone's jealousy is a dealbreaker.
