Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: When you're a young female moving to a new city, is looking for roommates on Craigslist advisable? Thanks to Jeff McCollister (@the1hatter) for giving us a proper source for The Guy in the Glass poem we talked about last week. It was written in 1934 by Peter "Dale" Wimbrow Sr., who was not a death row inmate -- in spite of what the Internet tries to tell us. Regardless, it's still very powerful. Tipping isn't just good manners -- it's good social dynamics. If you're going to change your dietary habits, make sure it's for the right reasons and not because you were swayed by an AoC Challenge critical-thinking exercise! What's wrong with being sexy? You shouldn't start a podcast unless you don't care if people listen. Documentary of the Week: Icarus Quick shoutouts to Colin and Runa Ludthard and AoC sister Lida in Sweden!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason
0:13.2	de Philipo. Here at AOC we may not have all the answers, but certainly we have some of
0:17.4	the questions. And today on Fanmail Friday those questions as always come from you.
0:22.7	Jason what's up first? Hi Jordan, I'm a young female moving to a new city. To afford
0:27.7	the high rent I want to live with roommates. I found a really nice place with reasonable
0:31.7	rent on Craigslist. After contacting the person I found my five potential roommates are
0:37.0	all guys ranging from five to 20 years older than I am. I don't particularly feel uncomfortable
0:43.0	with it, but am I asking for trouble? Is this just something anyone moving to a new city
0:48.5	might fall into? Is Craigslist an okay way to meet housemates? Love listening to your
0:53.0	show. I always leave feeling I can conquer the day with more precision than the one before.
0:57.6	I find paranoid or practical. Two words, shower shoes. This is tricky because the likelihood
1:07.0	is that it's fine, right? But the downside is the risk of a negative while the probability

1:16.7	get into that in a second, but really the first thing that comes to mind is guys are dirty.
1:21.0	I hope you'll have your own bathroom. You know, it's it's the upside is guys are fun
1:26.3	or easy going, but they're often often, but not always less drama than a house full of
1:32.7	women or mixed women men, which I guess you're changing that balance up. And again, this
1:36.8	is my experience. Definitely not always, but my experiences, you know, goes back to college
1:42.4	so that might have to do with age as well. I'm not saying a house full of adult females
1:46.0	is going to be dramatic. I really don't know. I think guys can be just as bad, but I just
1:51.6	I feel like you may have to keep in mind that being a female and all guy house is going
1:56.1	to add that element in there. But did I say guys are dirty? Look, man, I take a little
