Hello friends, my name is Dino
And I'm Niles Payne
And we are your 25th episode of Fuck Buddies.
That's right.
Woo!
Congratulations to us.
And to you.
Because you've been here.
Oh, those bubbles.
We effervescent boys today.
Just a couple of buds in a closet with some
suds
cheers
we're a dating and sex advice podcast
where we take your sticky sexy situations
and turn them into sexy sticky
situations
so yeah guys it's been 25 episodes
thank you for being with us this whole time
it was pretty fucking sick
to commemorate
our 25th episode, I'm pretty sure that's
the sound of my girlfriend in the shower.
And dropping pipes?
Yeah, and just throwing marbles into
our water
pipes. Is she having a champagne shower?
Fancy bitch. Is it?
No. That's a golden shower. Never mind.
You weird.
What kind of fizzy piss do you have?
I was like, wait a minute.
Oh, man.
I'm 100% sure I'm going to knock over this glass.
Yeah.
I'm going to do a fucking Dane and hold it like a monster.
Like a fucking, here, let's top you up.
You know what?
We should keep that sound, like, separately.
And just any time there's a particularly fizzy question.
What the fuck is a fizzy question?
I've been dating my ex's dad for the last
four months. I don't know if that would call that fizzy.
That was fizzy as fuck.
What I'm saying is I don't think fizzy is...
I guess it's more chunky
than it is fizzy. Crunchy even.
Crunchy. Wet. Juicy.
The wettest question.
You know what? I'm going to start with
probably the best question
that we got all week.
Well, before we get into questions, do we want to talk about why we started this boy?
We're going to do that after we do this.
Okay.
Because that was how I was going to start. This is not serious, but thank you for making me admit that before I said it.
We got that question, I guess, because he seems unsure.
Well, hold on.
Let's also preface this with, uh, we're not doing our typical episode, uh, this week. So if this is your first episode, uh, maybe skip back a couple episodes and get a flavor
of what we usually do.
Uh, this week we are celebrating 25 episodes and we're doing a little, uh, a get to know
us episode.
Yeah.
We figured, you know, we'd shake it up a little bit.
Yeah.
Um, let you know why, how we make the podcast, why we're making
the podcast, and if you guys have any questions
about us, why you should listen to us, why our
advice might actually hold some
bit of weight or merit.
That's the episode
where we're trying to do. Will we
answer those questions? Who knows? Maybe not.
So, yeah, we have... I'm not going
to read their name, because I don't know.
But they got on to us yesterday and asked us to contact them if we were 75 years old, very, very dark and not curcumcised, which I assume they meant to say circumcised.
Uh, so best question we've ever gotten.
Uh, neither of us are 75.
So I'm sorry if we felt the first hurdle.
I know. I'm not getting the fell at the first hurdle. I know.
I'm not getting the answer to the other ones now, because clearly we're not... That's the thing, it's like once you hit an X, it's like...
Fuck, it's one strike, you're out.
This guy's a...
You mean serious business.
I'm sorry we couldn't fulfill your needs.
But keep looking, keep commenting on random Facebook pages, cover photos.
Yeah, you'll get there in the end.
Eventually you'll find the man of your dreams.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I think we should definitely start off with the logistical shit.
Like, how do we make these episodes?
Because I think not many people realize that, like, when I read a question, when you read a question, the other person has no idea what the question is.
Yeah.
Like, we do each, like like half completely separately like i bring my
questions he brings his we've no idea so we're answering like on the spot every time those
things like i think whoever's whoever's question it is has a little bit of an idea what like they
want to bring to the table with it sometimes the conversation yeah sometimes the conversation that
we have is usually uh are always 100 uh the cuff and like it's not rehearsed
it's not we don't sit down and like talk about what we want to talk about this episode it's just
sort of or even questions like there's been times where i found like a really good one or danis found
a really good one and we're like fuck i want to talk to you about this question but like
i can't so we wait yeah we don't even like there are times where we'll have like discussions about
topics and we're
like,
actually I have a question about this.
So let's save that to the podcast.
Let's not talk about that.
Yeah.
We'll,
we'll actually avoid topics in like our,
our day to day normal lives.
Now we can't hang out anymore.
Yeah.
We pretty much just stare at each other.
Yeah.
If it's apex or nothing.
Yeah.
Um,
yeah. So I guess, yeah, a few people were, like, confused about that
because they thought we, like, planned and or rehearsed.
What do you think the average amount you edit out of each episode is?
Surprisingly, not a whole lot.
I take out, I would say probably, depending, like,
obviously the longer the episode goes the more i cut out
um but like if we average around like a 120 minutes recording um i usually cut out about like
eight to ten minutes of bullshit yeah and like usually as far as i'm aware it's like a lot of
weight where's my question yeah it's almost entirely like i don't really edit what we say
unless we say something particularly stupid like the rat tangent oh 100 that's in i don't really edit what we say unless we say something particularly
stupid like the rat tangent oh 100 that's in i didn't cut it yeah i didn't cut any of that
um i cut what did i cut from that episode i don't remember there was i mean like there was
in our very first or second episode there was actually a pretty big chunk that we cut out
because we were so i think like nervous and like didn't really know what we were doing or have a rhythm yet that like we ended up talking about shit that had
nothing to do with the question and while it was it was like an important sort of conversation to
have it just didn't fit and i was like i feel like this is a topic that's going to come up later
yeah rather discuss it properly instead of just kind of like as opposed to just sort of like
throw a tangent. Yeah.
I feel like you were definitely a little bit more hardcore on the editing at the start
because we were also probably less good at just chatting.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
It's like our, our conversations tended to.
They veered in.
It was tangent city, but like the dark side of the tracks.
Yeah.
And like, it wasn't like, it wasn't anything worth about. Or we just said the same shit over and over again.
Yeah.
And I was just like, okay, we've made that point.
Yeah.
I'm going to cut it.
Which I still think we kind of do every now and then.
And, like, but we'll also say something rather important.
We'll pull it back in, yeah.
And I'm like, fuck, I can't trim this because if I do, I'm going to lose, like, this other, like, good piece of advice.
Yeah.
And I can't just, like, cut it down and just have you or me throw in that.
Because without the context of what we just said, it would make no sense.
Yeah, I'm always kind of surprised by the lack we added, which is kind of nice.
And by we, I mean Dane.
Because Dane does pretty much all the editing.
And by pretty much, I mean he does all the editing.
I don't know why I'm qualifying it.
So shout out to Dane.
Because Dane's awesome.
A lot of it, a lot of the stuff that I take out are like I'm qualifying it. So shout out to Dane, because Dane's awesome. A lot of it,
a lot of the stuff that I take out
are like ums, ahs, and pauses
that like don't seem unnatural
in conversation.
But?
But once you're like,
once you're just listening,
you're like,
oh wow, that split second that I paused
is an eternity.
Yeah.
I love the like,
segment.
Pretty much everything we wait.
You know like
it's not like we have
really like
not in a bad way
but it's not like
we really put
much planning in.
Yeah there isn't
a whole lot of prep.
There's like
I usually do like
an hour or two
of looking up
fucking questions.
Yeah.
And then like
a couple hours
throughout the week
like doing social media stuff.
Yeah which we don't do enough.
Which I feel like,
yeah.
Like if we were going to put time into something.
We should.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like,
you know,
like the Dan thing just came about because like,
I think like the day or two before we recorded our first episode,
I saw someone that shared his like,
how to talk to a girl with headphones article.
And I was like,
Oh my God.
Why?
Yeah.
And then I realized that sadly
there's like seven years worth of his bullshit and it just became a really good way to like
show what we're totally not up for like what we're against like and i think that kind of leads into
like how we you know why we do this podcast and what you know yeah i mean there's a point like
we've we've talked about it we yeah we pretty much since we like met like when we finally started like hanging out and
like going out together the amount of times that we would like put ourselves into altercations with
like shitty guys um or like we'd have a great night out and just be like we didn't do anything
and we still like hung out with girls and got a phone number
and like a potential date the next day or whatever.
And like, we didn't do anything.
Like we literally just went out, had drinks and had a good time.
And it sort of like manifested itself because we weren't fucking assholes.
Yeah.
And then watching like people be shitty.
Yeah.
And also just like hearing like.
And sometimes seeing those people like find success.
Questionable as it might be.
Like it's funny because we at one point like developed almost this like arch nemesis, which was really funny.
Because we would go to this like bar and I remember it was when my brother was visiting.
Yeah. came to a head where like uh this guy was like the typical like douchebag like pickup artist
bullshit person who would literally like creep near the bathrooms not drink wait until late on
in the night when girls were like more drunk literally grab them when they're separated from
people push them into a corner and like hold them there yeah and we saw this and we were like
what the fuck like this person looks so uncomfortable. And what they're doing looks so creepy, the guy.
And, like, at one point intervened.
And she's like, no, yeah, this is awful.
Like, I don't want any part of this.
And he's like, well, you didn't say no.
And she's like, no.
Like, no.
And he's just being an asshole.
And we're like, what the fuck, man?
So here's the thing.
You're forgetting the thing that, like, made me hate him was I can't remember specifically what he said.
But when she said no no he was like uh he
said something along the lines of like i could make that a yes well even like initially fucking
thing initially when he was just like she didn't specifically say no but she did say oh i gotta
get back to my friends oh i gotta leave or like i'm not in you know a million things and like
you know like he's basically using how hard it is to be like i guess it's
intimidating to say no to somebody who's literally grabbing you and forcing you into a fucking
corner no idea what that reaction is no oh yeah i'm gonna fucking stab you in the dark corner of
this club like you're clutching me by the fucking arm and you're forced me into a corner like
anyway and then she says it and he was still like like, well, no, it wasn't yet. Like, fuck you.
But then, like, over the course of that night, it became a fun game, because that girl then was hanging out with us, and we'd see him do it to somebody else. And she's like, we should go over again.
We're like, yeah, fuck it, why not?
So we kept going over, and by the end of the night, everyone, we had gone and basically, like, I don't want to say saved, like where we kind of like helped like because it's
easier to literally be like no when you have five people standing there who have your back as opposed
to one fucking creep holding you in the corner so we end up hanging out with like eight or nine
people and like who we were already with and we had a great night um and that one guy was just
so angry but then anytime we saw him doing it over and over again, we just like, fuck it.
We'll, we'll go up and be like, Hey, are you, are you okay?
Yeah.
And they were always like, no, thank you.
Yeah.
Um, and just like shit like that developed and we're like, fuck it.
Like Toronto, especially I think has a problem with that.
Um, yeah, that's the long way of saying that we just kind of wanted to hopefully make a
fucking difference yeah because show people that like because you see people and it breaks my heart
when they like you know the seduction reddit it's it's generally horrific and people post being like
oh i want to like do you know i i have a problem where i don't meet other girls or whatever and
they give them the worst advice yeah and the worst shit and they say the
worst things and there's people out there who think that that's what they need to do or it's
like they're just making the world worse for everybody and i think like the thing that really
upsets me about that kind of stuff is like some of that advice is good but it's buried under so
many layers of like this toxic machismo that like it it completely negates the actual like real advice
being given like some of the people who who i've seen on the the seduction subreddit will actually
be like oh like focus on yourself like find a hobby find like go to the gym find a fitness
program that works for you do that and it's like that's great but then we'll proceed to be like
don't be a beta don't and it's like, the second you start qualifying and putting men and women into these categories
of sort of arbitrary objectification.
Or like, any time you're like, this is the formula.
It's like, no, that's not how it works.
Yeah.
And even like, remember the bullshit, like, hold a good lead, 13 steps.
Like, there were nuggets of fucking truth in there like you know go out
and have fun like it's not about getting laid 100 but then he's like you have fun or else
this thing that's not about getting laid so you can get laid it's like yeah forcing yourself going
out with the objective to have fun well to performatively have fun like in order to get
laid is not fun like no the the goal the night no longer
becomes about having fun it's about having fun in order to get laid yeah and then therefore the
goal of the night is to get laid and you're probably not having fun and then like the yeah
the the rest like everything in between everything like your entire night if you don't get laid you've
had a bad night yeah exactly and therefore you have not had fun. Yeah. So, like, I wish I could just, like, cut some of this shit off at the knees and just be like, just stop there.
Just stop there.
Like, let's encourage men to be confident and, like, find things that, like, empower them.
And just also cut out all the creepy shit.
Yeah, without, like, without belittling men or objectifying women.
It's like, we can do these things like it's there's nothing wrong with being pro man and like encouraging men yeah to be men whatever
that means for them yeah like the second boy when you then tell people what man
is and it's yeah or like start like treating women as if they are like
objects in in the sense that like they're the like objective yeah you
know I mean it's like or even just like women react this
way to this it's like no like everybody has a fucking different like people that's another
issue is like there is no fucking formula and the fact that these people like not only think there
is but then literally sell that and people buy into it literally again yeah it's like insecurity
you know what i mean like if someone is it's the whole reason
why fucking like the televangelists are so successful you know what i mean like those
people are like sort of the the end of their rope and despair and someone is selling them
hope yeah no i i get it it just it it also sucks that you're preying on people 100 you know i just
feel like you know and also we should just all be better and nicer
to each other um so last week we did put out a call for for questions for us and we got a few
of them so now we'll start uh we'll start answering some of those yeah we got a bunch um i'm not gonna
read off people's names because yeah i think it'll just slow it down and a lot of the time people
were like i don't really want my name put on them.
And almost all of them had a PS, what's your dick size?
What's your rock and roll? We did actually get another one today.
Cool.
We're not answering that.
Nope.
That was the one question we said we wouldn't.
Because the answer's too long.
Yeah.
We literally cannot come up with a number.
Yeah.
So I think we'll start at the start.
How long have you and dame been
friends i mean like real friends or no you and dane me oh that was the question and said how
long have you and dane been friends oh and it's for me uh i don't know it says you and dane
how does that mean niall and dane fucking hate you how long have you been friends with yourself
that's actually a great question yeah um. Like 2014? Yeah. Those teenage years are rough.
Yeah.
You know what?
I hear you.
Probably same time period for me.
No.
How long have we been friends?
It would have been 2014.
Oh.
Is that what you said?
Did I help you become friends with yourself?
100%.
It was meant to be a joke.
No.
Don't make it too serious.
Yeah.
It's been a while, but not that long at the same time it feels like a lot longer
it does just because like the pure amount of bullshit that we've done also just like i can't
remember i can't imagine a time where i'm like no dang yeah i don't know it's a dark time it's a
dark time um yeah we worked together at a bar and then the first night that we met which is the next
question how did you meet oh yeah so like we, it was like a staff party for the bar.
And I had just started working there.
So I knew one person who I worked with at a bar previous.
And he got me the job there.
And it was fun.
It was like, it was actually a really fucking good day.
Yeah.
And then, but like, I didn't really know you.
Like, I knew you from work.
But like.
Yeah, I don't really remember.
We had chatted like maybe two or three times.
Because this was like, it was like a week or two into working and the staff was huge.
Like, I hadn't really met everyone yet.
This was when they weren't allowed to do a staff party.
So instead, one day they gave all the guys the day off.
Yeah.
And organized like, guy night.
And then they gave all the girls the day off, a different day, covered for them yeah um so we did a bunch of shit um but like we were at this bar and me
and the guy that i had worked with previous were talking to these two girls um and it was going
well uh and then niall showed up and he was taking selfies yeah someone ever runs the bathroom so i
took their phone and took a selfie with everybody at the party
because, I don't know, I thought it would be funny if they came back
and there was just everybody's
dumb, surprised face
on their phone. So I was going,
selfie, and just popping into everybody at the party
and taking one.
I went up to you guys and was like,
and the girls were like, oh, what are you doing?
And we kind of got chatting.
It was really funny because, well, you can talk. Yeah.
So it was like, it was nothing, right?
Because like I like introduced now to the girls we were talking to and we chatted for a bit and then now fucked off.
And then I left that night.
Like everyone went to a strip club and I had actually gone home with one of those girls.
And the next day.
Well, what was funny is, like, the second I left.
Because, again, like, I had taken the selfie.
And the girls were like, oh, what are you doing?
And I'm like, explain to them.
They're like, oh, you guys are on a night out.
And I was like, yeah.
And, like, we chatted for a tiny bit.
And Dane was, like, engaging.
And it was fine.
And it just moved on.
And I left.
And the second I left, I was like, oh, you were cock blocking.
Like, you were first. I was like, what? And they like what they were like yeah like the other guy was so angry like what the fuck and and he literally like well i don't really want to cast this you know he basically
got like he got a little upset about the whole situation and kind of like cut off contact with
the girl and then their whole thing didn't work and clearly dames did because they went off and
i was just like what the fuck like wasn't cock blocking anyone so in my head it was really
funny because like you know from my point of view there's nothing else i was gonna do if they were
like oh you're taking selfies i was just like oh shit they're talking to some guys i can't even
reply i gotta run away like yeah that doesn't make any fucking sense in my head right like
and it's not like i was even coming on some or anything so anyway like the next day i was like shit like i hope
dane didn't care because like he wasn't there because he was off with her so it's not like uh
you know but he was a new guy in work and i was like oh i hope that like he was cool so at one
point i like i kind of mentioned to you like what it was fine yeah it's fucking done it was like it
was a couple weeks later too like like would, we would like be in passing.
You know what I mean?
I think it was the next day.
Cause, uh, definitely wasn't.
Cause we had the joke where someone kept being like, God damn it, Dane.
No, that was, that was fuck you.
That was the girls.
Yeah.
So it would have been after that.
Oh, okay.
Which was like a couple of weeks after our party.
Yeah.
Either way.
It was just funny.
Cause we kind of like bonded over that.
Like having the same view that I think is like healthy and not just like, I own these women because I'm talking
to them.
Yeah.
Which is fucking batshit.
Because when you came up to me and you're like, oh, like, sorry if I cocked you.
I was like, well, you didn't because I went home with her too.
It's like.
Yeah.
But you were there for like three minutes.
Yeah.
And like just having a normal chat.
Yeah.
All you did was talk about like taking selfies and like.
I also kind of like talked, talked you guys up.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you wingmaned us.
Yeah, and that's the thing.
Anyway, it was...
And I think, like, the next thing that took it to the next level
was that one day when we were just at the bar
and we had, like, the deepest chat about, like, all the bullshit that...
Like, you told me about your horrible year.
And, like, at the time, I had just...
Me and my ex had broken up and we'd been living together.
And then she binned a bunch of my furniture, and then I went through a series of sublets and, like, a whole bunch of apartments.
So I was, like, having a tough year.
And we would just kind of, like, chat about that.
And then we went to the casino?
Yeah.
And then after that, I think what really solidified our fucking fancy dancing night.
Fancy dancing.
Dane got roofied and, like, puked all over a yacht.
But it was just, just like a crazy night
and then after that we were like how are you not super close after that that is that is yeah that
is sort of like the night that's sort of like because that was like that was the start of like
dane and nile night too yeah and like it became sort of like infamous more yeah fucking calm like
it got to the point where like if we were going out people would try to like insert oh yeah you
guys are doing a thing and like we were going and it's like we wouldn't know never knew like it got to the point where like if we were going out people would try to like insert oh yeah you guys are doing the thing and like we were going and it's like we wouldn't know
we never knew like it was just one of those things where like if we happen to have work
off at the same time like if we ended up getting cut at the same time we would just be like
we would just fucking go somewhere yeah and like bullshit would happen literally all the time and
like it would be one of those things where like people wouldn't know either we'd like make a
status or like an instagram post or like we would just, they
would just see us like leaving together.
And the next day it'd be like, what happened?
And most times there was a story.
There was usually a story.
Yeah.
Remember that time we were like in that weird drum circle, like underground?
I mean, we have several stories about that.
Just that one.
That one place.
That was the Caribbean birthday party.
That was the rap battle.
Yeah.
That was the drum circle. DJ Fire. That was the, there was birthday party that was the rap battle yeah that was the drum circle
dj fire that was the there was one other time we went there there's too many um yeah if you're ever
on dundas street in toronto look for a bar called remix just go underground because let me tell you
i have no idea what that fucking bar is because every time we've walked through it every time
we've gone through that door it's been it's been but like what i love is the lighting in that place where the dark pools of shadow i don't
know the shape of that bar i yeah if someone was like can you just sketch it out sketch the layer
of that bar i'd be like i know there's a stairwell down into it and there's a bar like kind of right
corner yeah on the right hand side but other than that i don't know like
maybe they could tell you where the drums are yeah uh next question yeah uh how do you all meet
your respective partners uh so i broke my like cardinal rule i thought you said you broke your
leg i was like what uh yeah i amanda nursed me back to health he was like an injured bird he
fell from his nest yeah it. It was actually really romantic.
She's the best ornithologist
I've ever met.
Although she didn't correctly
identify Dana as a human.
But that's her one mistake.
She still thinks I'm a bird.
Shit.
Just hoot quickly.
That's not a hoot at all.
I'm not an owl.
Owls are birds.
You heard it here first, people.
This is a bird fan cast.
Should we get whiskey to continue
the episode uh we could um oh can we do an intermission yeah fuck like answer this question
then we'll intermission okay um i uh i was working with we should answer each other's questions
i mean i know the vaguest details of your me too it's gonna get even better no just go um you guys
work together yeah i was working with amanda um and as was i at the time we like i had a very
strict like don't sleep with anyone from work policy i did not i had slept with one other person
at work um and it was just sort of like i don't't know. I was like, eh, not really my thing.
And, yeah, it was one of those things where, like, she had a boyfriend at the time.
So I was, like, she was also very shy and very, like, timid and weird.
All the things that I love about her.
Some might say spooky.
Spooky.
So, like, anytime we had, like, a really good crew there we're like we did a bunch of shit outside of work so i'd always try to invite her because like i wanted her to feel
like part of a group um which to be fair wasn't just a special thing like you were always super
friendly 100 yeah no this wasn't me like making moves on her i knew she had a boyfriend but i
also knew she was like super shy yeah or at least like quiet we were always pretty good to all the
new people which i liked you know it was actually like i don't know if it's the same but it was like the tightest fucking
crew at that point it was great yeah it's it's it's getting back there um so it was one of those
things where i was just like come like bring your boyfriend like it's we all have like our
significant others or like the people that do have significant others but we were always kind
of a part of the picture so so that kind of happened and then like they broke up um and it was it was like a bad breakup and at one point she was like i need a
place to stay and i was like by all means like you can crash in my place if you need to um and
like we had had after she'd broken up we had had some like some chemistry um but i was like look
you just got out of breakup and like i i was finally getting in a good place in my life and i was like you know what like take some time i am attracted to you and i am
interested in you but like i'd really rather you i'd really rather be there as like moral support
right now and as a friend and as someone you can rely on and trust um and then once you're sorted
and safe and good you'll see then then we can go for a drink. And it was one of those things where it's like,
we just took it so slow.
Well, even like that night, she did come over.
She slept in your bed.
You slept on the couch, right?
I slept on the couch, yeah.
Like nothing happened?
No, because it was one of those things where I was just like,
if you need somewhere safe to stay,
I don't want you to think you have to trade sex for safety.
And that's the thing, because even if something happened,
there's no way in your head that you'd know whether it was like genuine and like i i know yourself it's definitely
crossed your mind like that you just wouldn't want to be that person where they're like
you wouldn't ever want that question to be there yeah you felt like you had to or yeah because it
would have been our first time sleeping together too and it's like the last thing i want to do is
like feel like i'm i'm i'm being a predator or, like, or at least, like, preying on someone who's in a vulnerable position.
So, like, I wanted her to know that, like, and again, this was sort of, like, our, we were still very much friends.
We weren't really romantic partners at that point.
And I was like, if you need a place to stay, I want you to know that, like, you can come here and that, like, I'm not going to be expecting something in return.
And that was, like, really, really important to me.
And then it was one of those things where like, you know,
she ended up making some really good friends at work.
They ended up giving some really good support to her.
She got in a good place and we just took it real slow.
We had like, we had a very casual relationship.
And then we were in sort of like an open relationship where we were seeing
other people.
And then it got to the point where I was just like, you know what?
I'd like, I kind of really rather just be with you
and then
then that was that
and now
we're still together
and happy
and I love her very much
should we get whiskey
I always want whiskey Dane
let's do it
you even need to be here
from my side of the store
get the fuck out
it's true
alright
how did I meet my partner
Tinder are we matched on Tinder lame It's true. All right. How did I meet my partner?
Tinder.
We matched on Tinder.
Lame.
Nerds.
Yeah.
We are entirely nerds.
That's true.
It is true.
Yeah, we met on Tinder.
She was super interesting, and we had similar book tastes, for example.
For some reason, I thought she was really tall based on her profile pictures um that is not the case at all and yeah we you know what what's funny is i probably suggested
meeting up for a drink a little too soon because honestly i fucking hate tinder um like it worked
you were not a tinder boy i was the no not really i like i still had a bunch of success on tinder
you know what i mean like i never had any issues with it but uh i was always like way
better just like meeting people in real life and like that was never an issue um so it's never like
i even you know tinder was more of like a supplement than like uh i like whatever i don't
think i was particularly good at it either but um yeah we we you know she did later be like he came a little quickly but she
still came on that date so did it matter and i mean like you're literally still with her so yeah
exactly so it worked out um but yeah we we decided we'd go on like a little pub crawl and we did we
hit about like six seven bars um we played this rolling game of i never um all the way through our first date
which is like a great way to know somebody because like not only do you find out some juicy tidbits
crunchy tidbits even um you also like you get a good sense of like their sense of humor and like
what they're into and what they're not into uh because you learn probably more about people from
what they ask in that game than what
they answer um and yeah we did that we went on a few bars and like it was really funny because like
we were having so much fun on the date but even in certain bars we'd be sitting at the bar and
the bartender at the end would like give us a free drink or like an extra shot or whatever and be
like man even i'm having fun like listening to you guys and we were like yeah it's our first date
and they were like what as we did that we got some smart food uh because it's the best popcorn
and we ended up climbing a crane and i almost died it was a great date and we finished the
night off we got home uh we like split ways and went home separately and then text each other
like sexy pokemon puns nice yeah cheers cheers to our ladies yeah they're awesome
a gentle cheers uh what was your longest relationship
oh man uh four years okay would be and then like i think if you include like from when I met Amanda to now, I think she's beaten the record now.
I think we've been...
If you include the time when we were open and casual...
It's been four fucking years.
Almost five now.
No.
What?
I think you're skipping ahead some years.
Amanda from the other room was...
No, four years then.
At the very least, 2015 is when we started dating.
Yeah, but that's not four years yet.
No, okay, so we're coming up on three years.
Three and a half.
Yeah, three and a half.
Okay.
Does that sound right?
Yeah.
Okay.
How am I better at this than you?
Because it feels like I've been with her forever.
Wow, it's that bad?
It feels like...
It's terrible.
Get me out.
Can you always be a voice in the background for these?
This is great.
Just correcting me?
Yeah.
I don't know if you can hear that, but Amanda's in the other room getting ready for her show,
and she's literally just...
She's just shaming Dane.
That's amazing.
Yeah, I know.
Amanda, you're the best.
Love you.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, I think my longest one was like three and a half, four years.
Again, same thing and
like i'm counting that just from like the became exclusive time because like i've never really
dated someone before i think at least three months of like casual if not you know half a year or a
year or whatever like because i know to me like being in a relationship is really like you know
an exclusive one anyway it's like a big deal like i've never cheated on anybody and i don't know, to me, like, being in a relationship is really, like, you know, an exclusive one anyway. It's, like, a big deal.
Like, I've never cheated on anybody and I don't plan to.
And I think a lot of the reason why people do is because they don't really take it that seriously.
But, yeah, like, three and a half, four years.
And I was in, like, one that was basically the same as well.
So, like, two relationships that are pretty long like that.
What's your most embarrassing date story?
Anyone ever done something super embarrassing i mean yeah so like i guess i can cut in with yeah yeah you you do your embarrassing one because like i just talked a
bitch i i don't know i don't know where to go with this one because I have one horrendous date and it was on their side.
Would you know about?
You know about most of them, I'm sure.
Yeah, I don't know which one specifically you're talking about.
What's funny is if we're speaking faux pas and something that you said actually triggered this,
I was once at a party and you know the third part.
This is a three-part story.
You know the third part. Yeah, I was-part story. You know the third part.
Yeah, I was there.
Oh, you know what we're talking about.
I do now.
So, part one, I'm at a Halloween party.
And I'm talking to this girl.
She's dressed as a witch.
And she's very attractive.
Or, well, okay.
I don't know if that's how you would describe her now.
Let's go back. I'm talking to a girl. how you would describe her now. Let's go back.
I'm talking to a girl.
And things are going really well.
And I like her.
And at one point she walks off.
And let's point out, she was maybe 20 feet away.
And a friend comes up and goes, oh, you a witch girl, huh?
I'm like, yeah.
She's vaguely attractive.
And, like, when I say that, I don't mean she's literally vaguely attractive.
I meant more of, like, the Irish way way, like she's a bit of all right.
You know, she's she's grand.
Like, yeah, she was fucking attractive.
But, you know, we tend to self deprecate and just deprecate in general.
Somehow she has ears of a fucking hawk.
She comes over.
She slaps me.
Well, no, she says, did you call me vaguely attractive? And I have no answer. But yes, so she slaps me well no she says did you call me vaguely attractive and i have no
answer but yes so she slaps me and that's that a while later this is part two i get a message on
facebook and it's her and she's like hey did i slap you one halloween i'm like yeah yeah you did
and she's like i'm really sorry can i take you on a date to make up for it and i was like sure yeah i'm new to the country i don't really know that many people i'll fucking go uh so i go
and to be fair it's a very fun night we play a lot of pool we drink a lot of sambuca we
play darts sambuca is great you shit your mouth is disgusting um and like we have a really good
time and uh like i'm having a blast we're on the way home
and she's like oh my god like can't believe i slapped you like i'm so sorry like oh i'm such
an asshole it's just going off like come on i called you vaguely attractive like don't worry
about it she's like what slaps me again apparently she forgot fast forward like five years or something stupid it's my birthday I'm very bad at organizing
birthdays uh so I just kind of send out like a Toronto like why well not Toronto wide but like
a you know when you're like tag your friends on like the invite list you can just hit Toronto
so I sent it out I'm like yeah this is at about 1 or 2 a.m. after Dane. This is like early morning.
Oh, yeah.
Like 2, 3, 4 in the morning.
Yeah, when Dane literally is like, Niall, what the fuck?
Can you please organize your birthday?
So I'm like, okay.
So I send it out literally that morning.
It's a Friday as well.
Needless to say, nobody showed up.
Because most people, well, obviously Dane showed up because most people well obviously
Dane showed up
he's pointing at himself
angrily
Dane took me out
for a very nice dinner
and it was very lovely
we had a few drinks
we went to the bar
which again
I don't know why
I chose that bar
it was the worst choice ever
I'm not going to
name and shame them
100%
they don't exist anymore
it's Crown of the Tiger
oh they don't exist anymore
no
every time I'm there
something dumb happens
someone threw a chair
at me once
anytime anyone goes there something bad happens that's probably why i ever had a good time at
the crown of tigers been scrubbed from existence uh so we're there and like people aren't showing
up and like honestly i don't blame them most of the people invited were in the service industry
it's a fucking friday they had about 18 hours notice probably didn't even see it they probably
didn't even see it like if you worked a day shift it. Like if you worked a day shift, you woke up,
you went to work.
And then by the time you saw it,
it was basically happening.
If you worked a night shift,
you couldn't go anyway.
So yeah,
but I'm cool with that.
It's like another day,
not all night.
That's going to be fun anyway.
And then I hear,
Oh,
Hey,
how's it going?
And who was there?
But vaguely attractive girl.
And I don't know why the fuck after five years last time we saw each other she slapped me and she showed up and she starts being real weird
like throwing money down the table me and like my mom gave me money for your birthday and i'm like
what what uh long story short we leave we're at a bar and like things are actually all right everything
seems fine yeah and then we're all dancing and she just like leans in and bites my face like on
the cheek like so so hard and it hurts so badly but like oh my god it was awful and like like so badly like i almost by reflex like just like shoved
her so hard or like did something that probably would not have been seen as okay like it was it
was it was so painful and i was just like what the fuck you cannot do this and in answer she did it
again so i walked out of the bar i sat down the curb i didn't even say by the
dang because i couldn't and he came out a while later and was like are you okay and like i had a
fucking mouth mark on my face i was like no then we went somewhere else yeah i found you you had a
can on your face yeah you're using a drink as a ice pack beer Beer is a great ice pack. Yeah.
But like, yeah, anyway, initial and secondary embarrassment was me saying vaguely attractive and fucking up.
And that just became a story.
So the other one was like, what's the embarrassing thing?
It's like someone else did?
Yeah.
So this isn't really, I mean, it's embarrassing as fuck. But like, so here's, I'll make this story short.
I went on this date with this girl who, she showed up and like, I could tell she was
already kind of tipsy, which is fine.
I was like, cool.
Um, and we were talking, it was actually a really fun date and it was really cool.
And it was actually like kind of vibing with her.
Um, and she was like, Oh, I just live around the corner.
I was like, well, I'll walk you home.
Um, and she's like, cool, great.
Uh, but she was way too drunk like i had maybe like two or three drinks and like she was several
ahead of me so when i left like after the two and three drinks we had on our date she was already
like drunk yeah um and i was not so like i already knew like nothing was gonna happen
maybe a kiss good night um but like i was not gonna sleep with her that night um it's like a 10 minute walk home um i get her to her doorstep and she's like
oh do you want to come in i was like i would like any other day i would say yes i was like but
you know what i mean like you've had more to drink than me um and she had told me that like she was
a little but like into the day she was like you know just so you know like yeah you know i mean she kind of did the confession she was like i was nervous and like had a me that like, she was a little bit like into the day. She was like, you know, just so you know, like, you know what I mean?
She kind of did the confession.
She was like,
I was nervous and like had a couple of drinks with my friends.
I was like,
okay,
cool.
Um,
so like,
I was like,
you know what?
I would rather wait until like,
we're kind of on a level playing field.
Um,
it's just not something I'm super comfortable with.
And she lost her fucking mind.
Like at one point she was like,
you're a selfish asshole.
You're a fucking asshole.
She threw her fucking garbage can at me. I was going to say, is this garbage can girl?
And like, I don't know if these are sort of like the standard garbage cans in most major
cities, but like our garbage cans are fucking big. Like wheelie bins. Yeah. Like they're
not the sort of like steel trash cans that you see in like movies and shit. These are
like industrial, like plastic, sort of like almost wheelbar that you see in like movies and shit. These are like industrial,
like plastic sort of like almost wheelbarrow ask.
Yeah.
So like the moral of the story is like,
not what she did is embarrassing.
She's embarrassingly strong.
Oh yeah.
No,
like I would not be able to pick that up.
And I was just like,
and she was like,
I could say,
I could,
I could say anything about you right now.
I'll have to scream.
And my neighbor,
I was like,
well,
you're already screaming.
And like, you're currently screaming because i'm not like legally gonna
rape you uh well yeah when someone's not fucking drunk right you know what i mean it's like yeah
it's like you're like you can't you're drunk you yeah you're doing a good thing and you got a bin
thrown at you that's the thing it's like i was like the whole what um she did message me a couple
days later and was just like, I'm really sorry.
And I was like, that's fine.
But I was like, you understand that I'm not interested in seeing you again.
She was like, well, I'm sorry.
I had a little bit too much to drink.
Did she yell?
And then all of a sudden it was caps lock?
Well, she tried to play it off and be like, oh, sorry.
I had too much to drink.
There's a little bit of a difference between having too much to drink and yelling
and screaming and throwing a bin and then accusing yeah or saying you're gonna accuse me yeah i mean
it's like because like what happens if we do sleep together and then you like something goes wrong
yeah you want you regret it or whatever or even just like you guys break up or yeah stop seeing
each other or i'm just like hey i kind of want to call it quits like i don't really want to start a relationship with someone
who i'm terrified of whose first date and who was strong enough to throw a man at me assault
and fucking yeah you know what i mean blackmail yeah legal threats like um that was probably and
like that happened a few times there was another date date where a girl, uh, booty called me and I was like, have you been drinking?
Um, in like a, not so many words, um, or more words.
Drinking question mark.
Um, and she was like, no, she's like, yes I am.
But like, I'm, I'm totally fine.
Got there.
She almost fell down my fucking stairs coming into my apartment.
Um, and I was like, sorry, I thought you said you got there.
And I was like, how did you get there? She fell down your fell down your stairs no no she came to like my place and then like
almost fell and i was like i'm really sorry but like i'm not sleeping she didn't took the painting
off my wall and hit me with it that's amazing it's like are you fucking kidding me get the
fuck out usually i would be like you can stay here i'm not gonna get but i was like
yeah no that's that's not okay get the fuck out i had
someone in work the other day hit me with their phone as i passed by because they wanted to order
that was fun um i think like a random person like a guest 100 percent yeah no as i'm walking by she
was like i was like the fuck and like i was too shocked to tell her to fuck off and she's like
and then she turned the phone around and pointed the beer she had on it and was like like i was too shocked to tell her to fuck off and she's like and then she turned the
phone around and pointed at the beer she had on it and was like this i was like no nope uh no id
there is no id so i didn't get it so that was great um i think yeah i think the most embarrassing
thing someone ever did on a date a hundred percent has to be the time when a date and someone cried for a large period of the date um and to be fair it was it was a pretty fun date i'm super into
that though to a point no not at all and she kind of sprung a surprise dinner on me when i met her
at hers it was like we meet at hers have a drink kind of go out was what i thought was happening
she made a dinner i was really
hung over and had already eaten so my appetite was at like a minus so i could barely eat this
dinner that was very nice i met a roommate on the way out as i'm going in and they basically said
oh i've been sent home or sent away for the night like wink have a good one which again super awkward get in we're eating this meal in deathly silence
uh they put on one song and when that song ended it stopped so we're just silence i'm trying to
eat i can't i feel really bad the food looked great and at one point they're like oh well what
when you want to do you want to like stay in or like go out we've already had a bit of wine like
let's go out like let's you know
so i get brought to this place they used to work uh which is empty so it's just me her and a bunch
of her ex-co-workers but they're doing karaoke and i love karaoke i'll serve some booze the big
issue of the night is every five or ten minutes she likes to look at me and go i really like you which once sure that's nice
twice i don't know if it's like starting the end of the night whatever but like constantly it gets
really weird so i was like feeling really on edge and like maybe that you know it's the first time
we ever hung out maybe she's looking a little bit too into it and like i'd been out of a shitty
relationship and like i wasn't really looking for anything
that serious, which again could develop into something serious, but not off the bat.
Right.
So night goes on.
And at one point, like she said, again, there's like, look, I just want to clarify.
I'm not necessarily like looking for anything very serious.
Like, you know, obviously it's our first date.
And she starts to cry.
And then she silently wept.
You monster.
Yeah.
And she silently wept for a while, which would have been horrendous in any situation. But the fact that we were in a empty bar, manned by people who all know her, was worse.
What's even worse is you're like, hey, if you you keep that going let's go back to your place yeah just keep crying 100 yeah no then then i was into
it that was like wait let's date and then she stopped crying and i broke up with her um no
obviously not uh yeah it was really awkward especially when i tried to explain myself and
she said i get it i'm not pretty and i was like no that's what and then i was like look and i basically had to explain i was like it's the first time we ever fucking hang
out like no one is ever gonna not say that really and if they did they'd be crazy and she was like
well yeah i guess went to the bathroom came back pretended it never happened it was real weird uh
this one specifically for me which is weird but, how different was my dating experience in Canada versus Ireland?
I will say, very different, because...
I'll just be over here drinking my whiskey.
By myself.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So I didn't realize it was fuck buddy.
I know.
Uh, yeah, basically...
I'm already with that.
I can save this for a different day if you want.
No, no.
That's fine.
Uh, it's very different, because inland i had been in a lot of well you know it was like
a lot of long-term relationships but also like time in between uh but i was also you know quite
a lot younger um i moved here when i was 20 and uh like part of the reason why i was so different
is like there isn't really like that condo kind of like rental market and young people don't really move out unless you're like from
Carlow and you're moving up to Dublin or whatever and you're staying in university accommodation
so it's like if you want to get down and dirty you generally have to you know like be creative
you know there's not really that culture of just, like, one-night stands
and just, like, meeting people in bars and just going home and fucking
because you don't have a home you can go and safely fucking, really,
because your parents are going to be like,
what the fuck are you doing?
So there's a lot more kind of, like, park sex
and a lot more, like, you know, fooling around in public
and a lot more just, like, shifting,
which is the irish word for
kissing uh like kiss culture is a massive thing back in ireland where like on a night out no one's
like oh did you fuck her they say did you get the shift and i was like yeah you know making out with
people is almost like your you know number of success as opposed to actual sex which is kind
of nice but um so that was kind of different i'd be an irish legend you would be so
that was kind of different also like tinder and stuff ireland's a lot smaller than toronto like
or dublin is smaller than toronto you unvariably invariably will find people you know like there's
no it it can be i do think we should do a question on, like, when you find someone you know on Tinder.
Let's find it.
Let's cut this out and then pretend we're real original later on.
But, yeah, like, you will find people you know, and then that's its own specific beast.
And some people don't want to swipe in case it comes to light and all this shit.
Like, it's very weird because everyone knows everybody.
So you do kind of have to be a little bit more careful.
But,
uh,
yeah,
that's other than that,
you know,
like it is a big game changer when you have your own place.
It's kind of rude.
They didn't want to know how different it is to date in Brampton.
Yeah.
How,
how is it?
I don't,
I don't even want to begin to imagine what Tinder looks like in Brampton.
So what you're saying is they did you a favor?
Yeah.
So they had your back.
Thanks.
And you're going to give them shit for having your back.
Always will.
I'm never happy.
Biggest turn off?
Ooh.
Sort of initial.
I'm going to go initial and once I get to know someone.
Initial, I think smoking. The second I see someone smoking, I'm just like, I'm going to go, like, initial and, like, once I get to know someone. Initial, I think smoking.
Like, the second I see someone smoking, I'm just like, I don't want my mouth in that mouth.
Like, I don't want it.
That's not how you kiss, but continue.
Yeah, you put your whole mouth inside your mouth.
Yeah.
You actually try to get as much of you as possible in there.
Get a little hand one.
That's why it helps if you have a puckered face.
Only if you pucker outwards. Yeah. i've definitely dated people who have smoked yeah um but it's like
it's if i don't know the person i'm probably not gonna yeah that's that's the thing if i see someone
who's smoking i'm gonna be less likely yeah you know um it once i get to know people anything any
sort of like ism you know what i mean like if you're a
racist or a fucking like if you're homophobic like any of that kind of shit like anytime anyone that's
an ist and an ick not an ism i know i guess um i don't know i'm gonna racism homophobism well yeah
like i think okay can we point out that that should go without saying yeah like if you if you
if you meet someone who's racist or homophobic, like, that shouldn't be a turnoff.
That should just be a get the fuck out of life.
Like, if I already know them.
Well, I think if you already know them.
Or if, like, even just, like, during sex.
Like, a big turnoff for me is I'm not a big fan of sharp pains.
So, like, biting, pinching, like, any of that kind of shit, like, I'm not a big fan of sharp pains. So like biting, pinching,
like any of that kind of shit.
I'm not into.
And for some goddamn reason,
my nipples are like fucking beacons for women.
Me too.
I don't know why.
I don't know what it is about them.
But like every,
like almost every woman I've ever slept with
has gravitated towards doing terrible things to my nipples.
And I'm just like, can you chill? I haven't been with someone who's done anything dramatic to them
but like it's biting everyone always bites my nipples and i'm just like stop it one you've like
licked and flicked and everything and like nothing's happened they've not they've not become
erect what makes you think oh hey you know it might work me biting well because nothing else
worked in maybe if your nipples were fucking more like i'll tell you dress that way you could be the most attractive
woman in the world can i you can do whatever you want thank you um and like i could have
the most raging erection like the proudest boner that yep um but the second you start
fucking with my nipples i'm gonna tell you
that's going all the way to live all the way up no the opposite all the way down yeah i will say
like my nipples are not very sensitive at all but they generally have a feeling range from nothing
to just vague discomfort it's like whenever you do it's just like, like, I just would rather not, you know?
Like, it's almost nothing,
which is why it's not really a big deal,
but, like, I just, no.
My thing is just, like,
like, I require kind of, like, stimulation,
and that's not stimulating.
So, if you're just going to go to town there,
it's like, I'm...
You're going to get bored i'm
just gonna jerk off like if they like do you want me to just jerk off right now i'll do it sure hey
get your hands off my fucking nipples uh yeah no i feel like one of the biggest turnoffs for me is
like when people like confidence is obviously very sexy But when people are unconfident and then put something forward in its stead.
Like, I've been with at least three girls where one was a virgin but talked this game.
Like, she was, like, she had the most sex in the world ever.
Like, she would always be like, sex.
And she had this, like, faux confidence that came off as, like, aggression and just, like, meanness.
And just, like, it just like meanness and just
like it just didn't jibe at all and like at the time i didn't know she was a virgin like i wouldn't
cared but it was just really weird i was like god it sounds like having sex you'd be terrible
and at one point like we were back at mine and then she told me and i was like that just makes
it worse because you're just talking bullshit this whole time. There was another person who I don't think was a virgin.
But again, whenever she talked about sex, she just made everything sound like this weird, unpleasant, like aggressive competition.
And then when it came down to it, she was really insecure and like weird about it.
I'm like, you're not doing yourself any favors because I don't really want to now, even beforehand.
And then you flip the script and
all of a sudden you're like you know so i do feel like that kind of like you know if you if you just
if you're that unconfident that you're like trying to be confident through like being weird or like
aggressive or like mean yeah you know that's kind of weird i want to add i know i probably didn't
explain that properly but i know i know what you're saying. Like, yeah. Anytime anyone,
like if I'm a pretty good judge of character,
if I know like what you're about and then you are very clearly projecting like another image and like,
I get it.
I did that for a very long time.
Um,
but it's one of those things where like,
if you make that your personality,
like if you're just the bitch,
like I'm,
I'm over that. I don't care how attractive you are. I don't care what kind of like chemistry we've got personality, if you're just the bitch, I'm over that.
I don't care how attractive you are. I don't care what kind of chemistry we've got.
But if you've reduced your personality so it's cartoony bitch character, it's like, meh.
I think in general, if you're putting on a front and you can't actually just be like i don't chill is a very weird word
but you know if you can't just be like relaxed and like yourself that kills it for me what else
you got on that list uh sexual insecurity got one um i don't know see i feel like it's a it's a
different question to answer when you're in a relationship because like if you're sexually
insecure at this point then yeah things aren't
necessary you know what i mean i'm trying to think if i dealt with anything like i think we've all
dealt with like normal shit like when you're younger like you're always gonna be insecure
about your dick size you're always gonna be insecure about like you know pretty much everything
i think about sex that's the thing is like like like, even like as an adult, there are times where I've just been like, you know,
you catch yourself in the mirror and you're just like, I wish that was a little bigger.
But then, like anytime I'd have sex, the like end result, I'd be like, clearly what I'm
working with here is getting the job done.
Of course.
So like, I'm not like, I don't know.
I entered a very like, like this state'm not, like, I don't know. I entered a very, like,
like this state of sort of, like,
maybe sexual overconfidence.
You know what I mean?
Where, like... Last time I did that,
there was toilet paper on my dick.
Well, I've actually had, I've had,
I had sex with someone,
and I'd be like, hey, you want to do it?
And they were like, you know what?
It was kind of boring.
And I think it was because, like,
I was so, like, into myself. Or, like, and this was someone be like, Hey, I want to do it. And they were like, you know what? It was kind of boring. And I think it was because like, I was so like into myself or like,
um,
and this was someone like I,
I'd kind of wanted to sleep with for like a while or like I was,
and it just like never kind of happened.
And then it just kind of happened.
And I was like,
I was ready to like show off and I was like pulling out like sort of like
the greatest hits.
And it was,
it was a,
it was a disconnected sort of experience.
That's the thing.
Like if you're having your own thing, maybe they're not i think it was sort of like the the female equivalent to women who
moan or scream a lot and you're just like i'm not doing anything you shouldn't be making this much
noise um i think it was kind of like i think that's kind of what she got from me but like
there was like that overconfidence that's fair uh it was humbling to say the least yeah yeah i know
for me like one of the big ones
has been like the amount of time like you last especially with like a new partner or like in
general like especially like when you get older or for myself it hasn't really been an issue but
like with a new person like it's always that like heightened level of excitement and like
it's rare that you just kind of hop to it either right so it's
like if you're making out with someone and you're like you're doing all these things like the
excitement is just building and building and like by the time you get to it you're like fuck like
this is you know and not only are is everything more are you more excited during that first time
but like it's kind of more important or at least it seems like it should be because if you go and
it's like well i'm done
they're gonna like cool let's never see each other ever again especially like all you see in media is
like guys with small dicks being ridiculed and guys who don't last long enough being ridiculed
yeah thanks missy elliot yeah what the fuck um so i know that has always been a thing with me and
like the worst part is even if i'm fine like in general
i do know like the first time i'm with somebody there's always that like danger and like it's
very rarely been i don't think it's ever actually been an issue like i don't think a girl has ever
commented on or been bad about it or anything like even if it has happened which again sometimes
definitely has you know but it's still one of those things where like
it's always you know it's always nerve-wracking i feel yeah i mean like when i when i first started
having sex my sexual stamina was terrible oh yeah i'm pretty sure like i assume everyone's
relationship was i was not great at sex like i lasted mediocrely at best um and then i didn't have sex for like eight months and
then all of a sudden it was just like i kind of just lasted forever oh i'm never and like and it
and it sort of stayed that way like there were a few rare occasions where like i would you know a
specific girl would do the right things yeah um and but like that was a rarity like it got to the point where
at the height of sort of like my bachelordom like i just couldn't finish and that's that's
the thing is like i know most people uh when they start having sex they have one or the other issue
like it's very rare that anyone's like solidly in the middle where it's like one's a little soon
and some people just can't you know yeah i've never had the can't i would even if i'm i would normally be able to get there and like the more
i slept with someone i would i would be able to to get a better place because i'd like i'd find
that one thing that they did with them like really fucking sexy like whether it was like
them dirty talking or them in a certain position whatever like i would figure the i would figure
that formula out um but like
there were times where like if if i was sleeping with someone again like i i went through a phase
where i was i was having a lot of sex and it wasn't necessarily like sex that i wanted to
have it was sex that like i felt like i needed to have for like validation and shit um like
some of that kind of some of those encounters i was just like yeah well it's not gonna happen because i don't have that
connection you know what i mean um and that was towards the end when i started like petering out
and only seeing sort of like the girls that i had been seeing um before i became exclusive i uh
it was it was like all i was like i have that connection and I have, I like, I know, I know what we have is, is, is a little more meaningful than just like random sex.
Yeah.
And like, I lost complete interest in sort of like that hookup culture and the Tinder
and all that kind of shit.
I was like, you know what?
I would rather, I'd rather wait and, and see the people that I enjoy being with than like
meeting a new person or
like getting that sort of instant validation of like sex with the first
person.
You know what I mean?
Like,
I don't remember what I'm talking about.
Sexual insecurities.
Um,
yeah,
I don't,
I like,
like I said,
I think like,
yeah,
when I first started having sex,
my stamina,
um,
and then afterwards, I think i've replaced that insecurity
with overconfidence like yeah sometimes unjustified and like i know that seems braggy but like i don't
think it i don't think it was a positive you know i mean like i don't think it always served me
yeah for uh a better sexual experience for both partners um i think that like i think i was
and like that might have just i think it might have just been like an overarching insecurity
about like like self-worth of course yeah which manifested itself as like this sort of like i'm
good at sex so if it's if yeah so you know i mean it's like so despite my insecurities i know that
i can do this right and here's like this is what I'm like leaning myself forth on.
So please, please enjoy it.
Because if you don't, that's all I got.
I think that's, I think that's where it came in.
Yeah.
We were urged to answer this question, honestly.
So I don't know why that wasn't necessary, but I think we did.
I feel like a lot of guys, like, I think a lot of guys would stray away despite the fact that, like, they might be insecure about their penis size.
I think a lot of guys would not say that.
Yeah, but I think it's, like, it almost goes without saying.
I think almost every, like, unless you're literally rocking, like, a 12-inch dick.
Then you're insecure about how big you are.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it's one of those things where, especially, like, when you're younger, like, it doesn't matter if you're good or not or if you're like, sorry, not good.
But like no matter what size you are, you're always going to have the insecurity.
And I think it's similar to like I'm sure we both had body issues where like you think like, oh, I'm not muscly enough.
Like when I was like younger or with other people, like I think, again, in the the relationship a lot of this shit mellows out
but like have you ever just laid there and like they you know you're after sex and they go over
and they like touch your stomach and you're tensing yeah and then they like move up to your
arm and you're like trying to casually tense try casually tense i don't think there's anything
casual about it i i would do that for so much for For some reason, I have this thing where, like, my arm tends to, like, be up when I'm going down on someone.
And, like, if they ever touch my arm, I inherently flex.
Yeah, of course.
And, like, I don't know why I do it.
Because you want to see.
You don't want, like, that, you know.
Yeah, I guess.
You want to, like, oh, feel my muscles.
I still do it with Amanda.
You know what I mean?
And I'm like, this is so stupid because, like, I still do it with Amanda. You know what I mean? It's like, and I'm like, this is so stupid because like she knows what I look like.
You know what I mean?
It's like she knows what I am on a day-to-day basis.
It's like, it's not like she's going to touch me and be like, oh, wow.
You know what I mean?
Every time I touch you, I say, oh, wow.
I mean, like, she might be impressed.
Oh, man, you don't even know how these arms are getting.
I do know.
I can see them right now.
Dane's arms are looking real good for the record.
They're working out.
Yeah, no, 100%.
I used to lie there
and any time I had one anywhere,
I'm like dancing.
I'm trying to act cool.
I would love to know
because I assume it was pretty obvious.
Maybe it wasn't.
Maybe I was getting away with it.
Maybe I was just rigid as fuck.
I imagine all the things
that guys try to do to be smooth
or casual or whatever, 100% are not.
Also, the first few times I had sex, and, like, by first few, I mean probably, like, you know, spanning a year or two,
I used to, like, when we were done, I'd, like, have a cover or I'd go put my underwear back on.
Because I was insecure about people seeing my soft dick.
Because then, like, obviously it's not as big
as my hard dick
and that would be
in my head
and like again
also like no one
dreams about a flaccid dick
nobody
no one's like
well that's all
I dream about
do androids dream
of flaccid dicks
they do
my best selling novel
yep
Harrison Ford
was great in that movie
I wish
I dream of his
flaccid dick
all day
okay ever had a chance
to sleep with a girl and didn't uh yeah she threw a fucking garbage can at me uh I have never turned
no of course fuck like I met people who it was their first time and I talked to them and was
like hey I you know I'm not I just want you to know we're on the same page here like if we're
gonna hook up it it could just be a one-time thing it could be not what are you looking for and they you know, I'm not, I just want you to know we're on the same page here. Like if we're going to
hook up, it, it could just be a one-time thing. It could be not, what are you looking for? And
they were like, I'm looking for a relationship. And I was like, cool, because I can't guarantee
that because it would be unfair for us. Cause I don't want a relationship. Cause I don't know
you that well. So I'm not going to sleep with you. Uh, I've been with people who are too drunk.
I didn't sleep with them. I've been with people who are fucking awful. I didn't sleep with them. I've been with people who were fucking awful. I didn't sleep with them.
There's one girl.
She was the worst.
Yeah, like 100%.
There's so many times.
And I think if you ever answer this question with a no,
it's probably a really bad thing.
Yeah.
Unless all those chances were.
There's a ton of instances where I said, like, again,
like I worked in,
in bars almost my entire life.
And like,
they tend to attract attractive women who are like charismatic and stuff.
And it's like,
I had a pretty strict,
like no sleep.
Also a million times when I was in relationships and people went sleep.
We were like,
nah,
sorry.
Yeah.
It's a,
yeah,
it's,
it's,
I don't,
I hope it's not uncommon.
I hope,
I mean,
like,
I'm sure there are a bunch of dudes who are just saying yes to, like, anything that comes their way.
But I hope that, like, at least, I hope you, I hope, I just want people to think about, like, the circumstance.
Like, if someone is really drunk, don't sleep with them.
Yeah.
Just, like, I know it sucks. I've done it tons of times where you just kind of like put them to bed and give them a glass of water and be like
well I'm probably not going to sleep
tonight but at least you're fucking
passed out and snoring you drunken train wreck.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean like
yes I've 100%
turned down people.
