What's up, queens.

Welcome back to the female dating strategy, the meanest female only podcast on the internet. I'm your host, Patricia. Patricia, I'm so glad to be back with you. It's me, Rose. That's so sweet. I don't like what too much time goes by between our chats. I got to be honest. That's so sweet. Yeah, I miss you.

I just like to hear your thoughts on things. Although I have to say, you know what, having the reunion with Savannah was intensely rewarding. I'm sorry you had to miss that. That was such

a nice one. I really enjoyed listening to that. Yeah, for me it was prime.

Super good. Okay. Yeah. It was such an interesting conversation. And you know, Savannah has such a way of presenting things like, you know,

from other people, it might sound like trite. Like, yeah, we've heard this before, but she has a way of,

And so it's like I have a day job and then I have an extra day job. And then I have my piano job. And now I've been recruited to do a weekend job. but I'm just kind of like, you know, how much money do I want to earn versus how much time do I want to myself in my life?

And part of that calculus is, you know, how much time do I have or do I want to have to dedicate

to dating? Yeah, definitely. It's a time, it's an investment of your time. And moreover,

it's an investment of your energy, right? Because we, I think we're basically responsible for setting the tone. Although on FDS, we try to say, like, sit back and let him show who he is. Like, don't be overperforming as a date.

Yeah, indeed. It's more of, I wouldn't say passive, but yeah, more like
