He’s Wasting Your Time w/ Patti Stanger

He’s Wasting Your Time w/ Patti Stanger

Read it and weep besties. It’s the truth. Stop wasting your time over a boy who just wants you around to boost his ego, to do his bidding, and to make himself more attractive to other women. Boys are just now learning how to live without their mom doing their laundry for them, let alone know a thing about commitment yet. Boys will keep you waiting and play mind games with you, and the LAST thing we’re doing is putting up with it any longer.

Today, we welcome Patti Stanger back to Almost Adulting. As a third generation matchmaker, Patti founded the Millionaire's Club in January of 2000 after serving five years as the Director of Marketing/Special Events for Great Expectations, the oldest and largest dating service in the U.S. Given her expertise in matchmaking and Violet’s experience in dating men, the duo talks about the male logic while dating, why successful women have higher standards and don’t consider marriage in their early twenties and why we should always keep a three-man rotation. Violet and Patti also discuss the effects of poor parenting, the real reason why men take advantage of the woman emotionally, and the many complicated aspects of dating while technology is evolving. You’re gonna want your pen and paper out for this, everything you’re about to hear is FACT.

Feeling Happy? Don’t Tell Your Friends

Feeling Happy? Don’t Tell Your Friends

The evil eye lives in your group chat. Did I stutter? Ever notice the SECOND you share good news - your life collapses faster than a Nature Valley bar? Same.One minute I’m being loved correctly, soft life era unlocked… Next minute? Like not even 24 hours later - I break my foot, bleed from my privates, and end up crawling around my house like a feral naked raccoon throwing up on my hardwood floors with my milk bags hanging low, while I genuinely wonder how I got here.The evil eye is REAL. But it doesn’t come from your enemies… it comes from your friends - the ones cheering the loudest… right until you start winning. Most of them don’t even realise they’re subconsciously sending you bad energy… just because your happiness reminds them of the places they’re not.Protect your wins. Protect your joy. And get ready to laugh your toes off with today’s episode. Hit play — and if this episode calls someone out, send it to them. Thank me later ;)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I Broke My Foot on a Date

I Broke My Foot on a Date

What do you do when your hot‑girl era turns into a medical horror story? I broke my foot on a date, got a UTI, and spent the day being gaslit by the ER - who sent me home TWICE with a literal displaced fracture… but not before charging me for wasting my time. I can’t walk for two months, might need surgery, and now I’m side‑eyeing my friends because my scorpio senses are tingling that one of them definitely gave me the evil eye. It’s giving delusion, humiliation, and the American healthcare system at its finest.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
