The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome to Preston. I'm Shanee Alexander and this is the podcast where we talk through all of your problems and attempt to give you our best advice. However, today, I don't really have any advice for you to be honest. We are talking bad date stories in honor of Valentine's Day.

Usually Valentine's Day is all mushy, gushy, mushy, but not today. We're talking about bad love.

So I'm going to be interjecting some of my bad date stories and then I actually took some boy smells from you guys so we can hear a few of your bad stories and I will react as we listen.

So, you know, let's just let's start off with one of my favorite bad date stories. So I met a guy on, I believe it was okay, Cupid. This was like a few years back. By the way, I've done all the apps, all of them every single last one of them.

Maybe except for like match and like J date, I think I've done all of them, but my friends had previously told me this week that this happened. They were like, you really need to start dating guys that are like more down to earth.

I've been in a very habit and this is not a humble brag of dating like models, actors, ultra cool guys. And honestly, it wasn't working out that great for me because either they were like complete idiots or they were just bucking around.

So my friends were like, you really need to start dating some nice guys and maybe lower your standards a little bit. And I was like, you know what, maybe you're right. So I went on, okay, Cupid.

And I see this guy and I, it was only pictures of his face. And then there was one picture far away where he was kind of like hiking and I was like, okay, like he is in our right face and he seems nice. So we make plans.

We plan to meet up for like a happy hour. And I show it, but the restaurant and I'm looking around and I text him. I'm like, hey, I don't see you. I'm here waiting. I'm on the bench.

And then he comes up to me and he says, I'm right here, silly. First of all, sir, never fucking call me silly. My name is Chenet and you need to like stop with the cute like child like vibes. It's not really great for me personally.

But guys, the reason why I didn't know that it was him is I was being catfished.

Let me paint a picture for you. And I'm not body shaming at all, but he had the strangest body shape I've ever seen in my entire life. Small on top, huge hips and a huge butt. Very strange for a man's body.

It was very either Trump Homer Simpson, but maybe even worse. He's got shorts on which I don't know about anyone else, but I just feel like shorts five for a date on a man is not not my favorite.

Then there was a thick, thick sock, a thick hiking sock with a hiking boot. And I was like, huh, same general face, but like the whole vibe is bad. So I'm being catfish. I did not recognize this person from his photos to be sit down.

And I'm like, okay, she got to make it through one fucking drink. So we order a drink. I'm thinking like, let me wrap this up after one drink. That's a totally suitable amount of time. He was a totally nice guy. Let me say that.

But he spent the better half of an hour talking about his gardening and the other half of the hour talking about how he was in such good shape that he didn't need to work out.

Which like, I don't give a shit if you work out, but I don't really need to talk about it with you for that long. And you tell me that you don't need to exercise. I mean, first of all, exercise is good for your health, not body shaming. And like I said, but I was very confused as to why that was a topic of discussion.

Like, you might think that's like, oh, something about date. No, this is like, this is the good part of the day.

So the server comes over and the server says, can I get you guys anything else? And he says, I said, no, no, I'm okay. And he says, a lot, I'll take another beer.

When I tell you that my eyes turned into lasers and I wanted to evacuate his brains, that's what happened. And I was like, well, I'm not sitting here sober. That's for sure. So I said, fine, bring me another drink.

And then he stops the server before he leaves and says, hey, could you bring also a spoon.
