Online Dating Is Weird. This Baby-Making Site Is Weirder.

Have you ever noticed how much online dating advice focuses less on solving real problems and more on inventing solutions to problems that don't exist?

In this episode of Do As We Say, Not As They Did, Harris O'Malley and Dr. Liz Powell jump right into terrible dating advice with questionable statistics that make it sound like men shouldn't even try to date, and a dating/sugar-baby/baby-making website that seems like it could only appeal to Elon Musk or Nick Cannon.

First, they're setting the record straight on online dating. Because, and this may come as a surprise, dating apps aren't real life. Some of the problems you think are keeping you from finding love might be solved by showing genuine interest in another person.

Then, things take a turn for the stranger as they look at Knockr, a website where wealthy men can connect with women to have a baby and pay child support. Yeah, they're scratching their heads, too.

Highlights of the episode:

• You're not owed a woman. Period.

• Your dating app opener needs more than "Hey"

• Getting 400 matches isn't actually a good thing

• The "dating" service made for Elon Musk and Nick Cannon

Join us as we sort through bad dating advice, bizarre matching schemes, and the problems people keep insisting are everywhere. Because sometimes the biggest threat to your dating life isn't the competition or picky prospects…it's believing everything you read on Reddit.
