Summary

Are you too picky? Ali & Erica aim to find out this week as we dive into a book that regularly makes the rounds on social media: "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough" by Lori Gottlieb. We discuss things that used to be dealbreakers but aren’t any more, whether women need to “settle” more, and how we each navigate our preferences in dating.

But first, Erica goes on a decidedly okay coffee date while Ali frolics through a museum with Billy Joel.

Timestamps: Topic talk begins at around minute 18.

0:09.9	Well, exactly. Like I was like, all right, I don't have these standards. This is crazy.
0:13.6	Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah, those women, they definitely needed to open their standards. Me, I'm good.
0:29.1	Yeah. to open their standards. Me? I'm good. Hello and welcome to another episode of Finding Mr. High at the podcast.

0:34.6	How are you doing?
0:36.5	Hello, hello.

0:40.9	yesterday. Hell yeah. Can't wait to hear about it. Yeah. So it was someone I actually matched with last
0:46.9	time I was in L.A. on Hinge. And so then he followed up, say, I want to you back? So was back and down, hit him up.
0:54.9	I was like, okay, let's go out.
0:57.1	And funny, we talked about the list that had all the places to refuse to go on a first date
1:02.6	because we ended up having a coffee date as I'm back in L.A.
1:07.3	I'm back in L.A.
1:08.3	And these people meet at 2 p.m., which is exactly what we did, and it was a coffee.
1:15.4	And you know what? I don't knock people if they say no to coffee dates. I get it. It's very hard for it to be romantic.

1:30.2	So was this one a romantic?
1:32.1	No, it wasn't romantic.
1:33.5	I'll be frank.
