160. The Meeting IRL One
How do people meet IRL these days?! Are there things we can be doing, places we can going, openers we can be using to make it all feel easier? This week, Ali & Erica are breaking down their best tips on meeting people “in the wild” plus sharing some of yours. We cover everything from body language when you’re out alone to opening lines for a cute stranger to going in for the number exchange.
But first, Erica goes on a date that doesn’t even deserve a nickname (Mr. Distracted, perhaps?) and Ali has a few irons in the Bumble fire.

Customer Reviews
Your advice has helped me with dating!
Just wanted to give you both a shout out, love your realness, humor, and advocacy for what you want and need when it comes to dating! Thank you for normalizing being ‘needy’ and having scripts to use that definitely come in handy. Keep doing the great work you’re doing, it’s made a world of difference to me and how I approach dating and asking for what I want! Plus I love listening to this in the gym and laughing to myself at the stories you and Erica share 🤣
Vibes feel off..
I have loved this pod for a while! While I definitely miss Roark, I really liked Ali and Erica’s dynamic and a fresh perspective on dating. Lately though, it sounds (at least to the listener) that there is a lot of tension between the two. They aren’t open to hearing out each other's opinions as much, and can be dismissive of each other and of listener questions. It pains me to say, but I’m out until this gets better.
Don’t bother w this pod!
There is so much tension between Ali & Erica- their conversations are forced. This dynamic is not a genuine friendship. I would not recommend any single person listen to these women who can’t get a 2nd date give dating advice. Ali is pushing 40 and is still confused about what she’s looking for / if she wants kids. Since the dating content is going downhill, they have made FMH into a travel account and keep promoting these overpriced Instagrammable trips.
