What is up, you guys? Welcome back to the pod. Happy Friday. It's a summer of outside Friday. I hope you all have fun plans this weekend. I am doing my favorite thing in the whole world, which well, not my favorite thing in the whole world. But I really enjoy podcasting from bed because I do, even though I'm an energizer bunny and I like to be out and about, I do

like to lie down. And I'm having quite a lazy day. I'm working from home, marinating in a spray

tan. And sometimes you just need one of those days. So it is quite nice to be able to to come to

you guys from bed. And I want to talk about the crush list today because I realize

we have a lot of new listeners and there's some terminology that we throw around. I mean,

you know, I haven't explained it in a while. So I want to, I want to go through the crush list.

But first I want to talk about my decision to stop dating.

I have been overwhelmed by all the messages that I got from you guys. So many of you are in this

position. So many of you have kind encouraging things to say. Just a lot of chatter about it.

And I think that's good. There were, of course, a few naysayers who were like, well, you know,

the favorite comment that people like to say to me on, you know, my haters and TikTok or whatever,

who don't obviously follow my content very closely, they'll say, oh, well, now people will

definitely not listen to you because, you know, now you,

now they know you won't get them a boyfriend. And to that, I would say you are an idiot and

have the comprehension of a three-year-old because my content has never been about how to get a boyfriend

or a husband. It is about how to be happy, how to focus on yourself. And, you know, a lot of us

believe that you can't rush timing.

I also would look at those haters in the face and say, it's, you think that I don't want to

find love? That's completely false. That's not it at all. I just, you know, I've not found someone.

And I think a lot of women are out there in my similar position. A lot of us believe that

you can't rush timing. There are people who think you can. There are people who think, okay, if you go on 500 dates in a year, you can find someone to marry. I mean, yeah, probably, but is that going to be the love of your life? Probably not. And I think that's kind of a horrible way to go about it. I know a lot of us in this community believe you cannot rush timing and a lot of us in this community really don't want to settle. You know, I, as much as I want

to find someone and be in love and be in a partnership, I really am not going to settle at this
