Intro
- JAJordana Abraham
Dating apps should be used like in the same way that fast food is. I don't think you should say never ever eat fast food. People have these like black and white views towards the dating apps. I think they're great in moderation, and you need to be controlling the way you use them. You can't just be on it scrolling mindlessly. There's a time and a place for dating apps, and people should use them like when they make sense, when they can't be out there socializing, when they're really busy with work. But it shouldn't be the only tool in their, in their tool shed.
- JFJared Freid
People are afraid to say like, "I'm just tired of them." People look at dating as this like on-off switch. It's just like a part of your life. Hang out with your friends who are in relationships once a month. Join a fitness class. Go out to eat once a week without your phone. The app, we have to realize, is a crutch. We have to acknowledge who these w- apps were created for and by. Because they're not for you. Most people listening are pretty social people. You can do it. The number one health and wellness podcast. Jay Shetty.
- SPSpeaker
Jay Shetty.
- JFJared Freid
The one, the only Jay Shetty. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed. I'm so excited because today I get to invite into the studio two people that I've had the pleasure of getting to know over the last few years. I've been on their show like three times now, and I always have the best time with them. I felt like we hit it off immediately, and it's got more fun every time. So it is an honor to have them on the On Purpose studio. I'm talking about Jared Freid and Jordana Abraham, the hosts of the hit dating and relationship podcast You Up? If you haven't subscribed already, make sure you go and do that. They break down the confusing, chaotic, and hilarious world of modern dating, which I know all of you need a lot of help with. Jared is a stand-up comedian and writer. His work has been featured on Netflix and Comedy Central. And Jordana is the co-founder of Betches, a digital media brand with a reach of over 40 million across platforms and a leading voice on dating, self-development, and modern relationships. Please welcome to On Purpose Jordana and Jared.
- JFJared Freid
Great to be here. Thank you so much.
- JSJay Shetty
It's great to have you guys.
- JAJordana Abraham
We're so excited. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
It, it, what an intro. Yeah, I mean, you do everything, you do everything right.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
You know? Like, I'm just sitting here listening to your intro. I'm like, "Man, he's nailing it."
- JAJordana Abraham
Got it down. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Just has it down. Like, even when you introduce the podcast, like this is the podcast for ... You know, you, you tell people what they're listening to.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] You're cracking it up.
- JFJared Freid
I'm like, I, I feel like I'm in like a, you know, a class.
- JAJordana Abraham
It's a real professional.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah, this is a pro.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes.
- JFJared Freid
This is a pro. Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
You know, we, we are on a lot of podcasts. This is a professional. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
This is a pro. Yeah, this is-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] You guys are pros. The tables have turned today though.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes.
- JSJay Shetty
So I get to, I get to quiz you and make Jared feel uncomfortable.
- JFJared Freid
Right. That was always the-
- JAJordana Abraham
Oh, yeah
- JFJared Freid
... that's always my goal when you come on our show.
- JAJordana Abraham
You do try, yes.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- 3:36 – 7:55
Negativity Doesn't Make You a Better Dater
- JFJared Freid
the podcast.
- JSJay Shetty
Oh, yeah,
- JFJared Freid
Because I can't-
- JAJordana Abraham
He's like this, "They're gonna cut this."
- JFJared Freid
Right. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Get rid of that sappy shit.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Uh, let's talk about dating. Yeah, I, I just have to say, 'cause I, I, I ... You know, sometimes you listen to people and you go, "What are they like off camera?" That's like the ... It is truly the nicest text I've ever gotten. Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Oh, thank you. I'm gonna send more of them now.
- JFJared Freid
Please. I- it, it improved my whole day. Yeah, or month, whatever. I'm still talking about it.
- JSJay Shetty
The feeling's mutual. You guys have been so kind to have me on three times. We have the best time ever. And, and I, and I love the side of me you bring out. I don't always get to show that. I don't always get to show that fun, playful-
- JFJared Freid
Mm
- JSJay Shetty
... energetic side on my platform, so it's ... That's a part of me that I get to share with both of you, and so you give me an opportunity to do that. But let's dive in.
- JFJared Freid
You always play. You always are game.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
That's the thing. And I al- you know, we appreciate that so much, 'cause some ... You know, we talk about dating and relationships, which is like a very personal thing.
- JAJordana Abraham
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
You know? So-
- JSJay Shetty
And that's what we want to talk about today.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes.
- JSJay Shetty
Because my audience, community, I've got groups of friends. I've got so many people who've written in. We've, we've scoured the world to-
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
... prepare for this podcast. But the first thing I wanted to start off with is dating. You guys know everything about it. You're doing it, Jared. Jordana, you're not doing it anymore, but-
- JAJordana Abraham
Anymore, but
- JSJay Shetty
... it was a part of your life.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
What's your hot take on current dating? Like, what's, what's the take? What's the viewpoint that you think is surprising you right now that's different right now on dating?
- 7:55 – 14:27
Dating Burnout
- JFJared Freid
not being your full self.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
So you're not even bringing people into your world. Like, you want... And, and like, we're not, we're not this, like, woo-woo podcast.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] I know, I know.
- JFJared Freid
Like, we're not there telling... Like, there's nothing more annoying than, like, "Cheer up," from your married friend.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
"Oh, you'll find it when you're not looking." It's like, " [censored] off."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
You know? Like, that's not, that's not advice. That's not helpful. But it's like the minute you give into, like, "I got this great life. I'm looking for someone to make it better. I'm not looking for just anyone," then you start to have taste.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
You know? And that's something where people are so afraid to even, like, admit. They go, "I'm confused." That's what you hear from people dating. "I'm confused." No, you're turned off.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
Change the wording. Now it's powerful. Now you have taste. Now you have ownership over, like, "Oh, I do like and dislike things. I am looking for certain things in a partner." Like, you know, living your full life, like, when you say, "These are the things I do," you're willing to have someone go, "I don't do that." And go, and you can go, "Good. Get outta here."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Yeah. I like that. So let's apply that to what everyone's saying right now, where there's this mass fatigue around dating apps.
- JFJared Freid
Mm.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes.
- JSJay Shetty
You both hear it more than anyone.
- JAJordana Abraham
Of course.
- JSJay Shetty
Where every other person you speak to is just like-
- JFJared Freid
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... "I'm sick of the a- dating apps. I'm tired of the dating apps." I hear it all the time as well. How do you then apply that to the fatigue around dating apps? So when people are saying to you, "Hey, I'm exhausted," you're not saying cheer up.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
What are, what are you saying?
- JFJared Freid
Right. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. [laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
I think-
- JSJay Shetty
What are you saying?
- JAJordana Abraham
I mean, I think dating apps should be used, like, in the same way that fast food is. Like-
- JSJay Shetty
Oh, interest- oh, tell me, yeah, tell me about it
- JAJordana Abraham
... you know, I don't think you should say, "Never ever eat fast food. You know, it's gonna ruin your life." And I don't, I think people have these, like, black and white views towards the dating apps. I think they're great in moderation, and you need to be controlling the way you use them, just like anything else on the internet, just like Instagram or TikTok. Like, you can't just be on it scrolling mindlessly. You can't just be on it swiping mindlessly. I think there's a time and a place for dating apps, and people should use them, like, when they make sense, when they can't be out there socializing, when they're really busy with work, but it shouldn't be the only tool in their, in their tool shed. Because just like with fast food, if you eat it all the time, you're gonna feel sick. If you eat it on a road trip every now and then, that's fine. You're, like, an indulgent, have a great time, but, like, don't make that the only, make that your entire lifestyle.
- 14:27 – 18:06
You Shouldn’t Just Rely on Dating Apps!
- JAJordana Abraham
he's thinking about every day.
- JFJared Freid
Right. And, and these are, like, the things that don't go viral on there.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
You know, you know that.
- JSJay Shetty
That's a great point, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
You know, negativity goes viral, salacious stories go viral. Not, "Hey, go out with your married friends."
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, it's like-
- JSJay Shetty
Or we'll make you go viral.
- JAJordana Abraham
It's like loose ties, right?
- JFJared Freid
Right, loose ties.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Where did we get that from?
- JAJordana Abraham
Um, Meg something. Sorry.
- JFJared Freid
[laughs] We-
- JAJordana Abraham
Couldn't remember, like, her last name.
- JFJared Freid
Right. But we've, we've-
- JAJordana Abraham
Uh, yeah
- JFJared Freid
... we've, you know, our podcast, we've just collected all these experiences. We hear the, the voices of so many people and how they're going through it, and I'm not doubting that.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
It's hard, but it's, that's also the fatigue element.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Dating apps just get you more. Not better, more.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JFJared Freid
So it's more intros, which are good, more breakups, more, more disappointment, you know, more conversations. If you had more conversations a day, you're gonna find more annoying people a day, so of course you're gonna have-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... more stories that-
- JAJordana Abraham
Ah
- JFJared Freid
... are, are negative.
- 18:06 – 21:18
The Checklist for Dating
- JSJay Shetty
Saturday night is that day. I have this, there's this... I have no idea how this place, I don't wanna, no, I don't wanna get them sued, but I don't know-
- JFJared Freid
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
I have no idea how this place exists. There's this place in LA called Mr. Charlie's. It is vegan McDonald's.
- JFJared Freid
Okay.
- JSJay Shetty
If you go outside, it looks like McDonald's.
- JFJared Freid
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
They have an upside down frown, they have a smiley f- like-
- JAJordana Abraham
That's so funny
- JSJay Shetty
... from the outside, it's yellow and red. Like, it literally looks like McDonald's.I, as someone who grew up going to McDonald's, but now I'm vegan and I don't eat, uh, meat, have been searching for vegan McDonald's my whole life. I've now found it, and the fries taste the same, the chicken nuggets taste the same, the, the mayo tastes the same, the lettuce tastes the same. So Saturday, usually once every two weeks, I will eat chicken nuggets, fries, burger, whatever it is. But it's that feeling of like, come Monday morning, I'm reinvigorated to work out again.
- JAJordana Abraham
Exactly, yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
I'm reinvigorated to have my discipline again. Because I've allowed my brain the space to go there.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes. And you probably enjoy it-
- JSJay Shetty
Love it
- JAJordana Abraham
... so much more than if you had it, if you had it every day-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JAJordana Abraham
... you wouldn't feel great.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
You-
- JSJay Shetty
Exactly.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
One thing I've been getting a lot though, and this kinda comes from the point that Jared was talking about.
- JAJordana Abraham
Mm.
- JSJay Shetty
Right now, I have so many single female friends that I think are amazing-
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes
- JSJay Shetty
... that I'd love to introduce to good men. And now I'm, it's hitting me right now that I've not thought of Jared before, [laughs] so now I need to-
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
Now I need to-
- JFJared Freid
Uh-oh. [laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
There you go. [laughs]
- 21:18 – 22:34
How to Be the Best Version of Yourself
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, that, that allows-
- JFJared Freid
And, and that, you know, but that, that means that could be, uh, that, that's infinite.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JFJared Freid
What you're talking about is a checklist that women do. Are they safe? Are they educated? Are they, do they have the ability to like, are they a hard worker?
- JSJay Shetty
Are they a good dad?
- JFJared Freid
Are the... good dad.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JFJared Freid
These are all things that they're thinking about, like, even on the app.
- JAJordana Abraham
And there's, and there's... Right. And there's fewer-
- JFJared Freid
Right. That's-
- JAJordana Abraham
... I think, men who meet that criteria. For women who are maybe, I don't wanna say more selective, but are just looking at things in a different way, and I think as opposed to how things were 20 or 50 years ago, more women are college educated than men, w- women are making more money than they ever have before. And so I think the p- the pool, especially as you get older, of men who are at your level or higher, if that's what you're looking for in terms of like those things, is just smaller. So I think it just becomes like a numbers game, and I don't know if the solution is for people to be more open-minded or if the solution is... You know what I mean? Or... 'Cause I think there's still a little bit of a double standard around a man who makes less money than his wife or a man, a man that's, has less education than his wife. So I think that, I mean, I would hope that as the times change, people are a little bit more open-minded in both directions.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah. And I think also, like, we do this all the time. We, we've talked about this. Where are the single men? And like you just said it, I've said this a million times, I don't know. Even as a single
- 22:34 – 23:59
Staying Single in Your 40s
- JFJared Freid
man. Like, I, I'm a man.
- JSJay Shetty
You know, I've noticed single guy friends.
- JFJared Freid
Right. I don't even know where they would be. Like, I, I actually... It's become like kind of a joke-
- JAJordana Abraham
Right
- JFJared Freid
... on the show of like, where are these guys? Because if there's all these women... But also, this, dating and relationships is a topic for women. They get together to talk about this.
- JAJordana Abraham
Well-
- JFJared Freid
This is something that men just don't generally get together and talk about. So it might not be as, you know, in the atmosphere-
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, call it, I think to-
- JFJared Freid
... for me. You know? Like-
- JAJordana Abraham
... to that level, right. It's, I think dating and relationships seems more like a priority for a lot of women. Just societally, they've been told that that's something they should be thinking about from-
- JFJared Freid
Mm
- JAJordana Abraham
... you know, 21 years old is, like, what their future is and w- and who their husband's gonna be and what they're g- I don't think men are given that pressure. If a man goes home for the holidays, he's asked about his job, he's asked about what's going on at, at, at work. He's not necessarily most of the time being asked about who he's dating. I think that's a question that women are getting a lot more, and that they're much more invested in finding a partner than a lot of men are around, at least men in a similar age group.
- JFJared Freid
I hate when someone's trying to game the app. So if someone matches with me and they go, "Let's skip the small talk and go on a date," I don't wanna date that person.
- JSJay Shetty
We think being attractive means being attractive to everyone.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
Right? We only feel hot if everyone thinks we're hot.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And the reality is not everyone's gonna find you attractive.
- JAJordana Abraham
Sometimes you just don't come at things the same way, and that's really the source of most conflict in relationships, is just having a totally different framework
- 23:59 – 27:05
The #1 Reason Why Men Go on Dates
- JAJordana Abraham
for how you see the world or how you would see a specific instance. And a lot of the times, men and women are thinking about things really differently.
- JSJay Shetty
One thing I've been reflecting on lately is how even the smallest choices can create a big impact over time. Whether it's choosing to spend a quiet night in to recharge or making a decision that brings you closer to a long-term goal, those moments of intention really matter. And when it comes to the choices we make with our money, that same mindset applies.I've learned that saving for the things that truly matter, like your first home or a reliable car, starts with small, thoughtful decisions. That's why I appreciate what State Farm is doing with their Personal Price plan. It gives you the power to personalize your plan and create an affordable price that works for your life. You can bundle your home and auto insurance in a way that supports your journey and your goals. Talk to a State Farm agent today to learn how you can choose to bundle and save with the Personal Price plan. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. So wait, Jared, you're saying you don't have lots of single guy friends?
- JFJared Freid
No. That, not at all.
- JSJay Shetty
How?
- JFJared Freid
That's the thing, like, I'm not rolling with a group. Like, when you hear a woman get broken up with, like, the first thing that, like, a lot of their friends do, they're like, "I know these other single women." Like, they'll try and, like, fix them up with single women to go out with.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Their, like, their new Miranda, Carrie, you know, Samantha crew. I've never even heard of that for a guy. Like, "Oh, you gotta meet my other guy friend." And even you were like, hey, 'cause I moved to Delray Beach. I'm in Florida, and, and Jordana was like, "Oh, my friends live down there. Do you wanna m- like, hang out?" I was like, "I don't-"
- JAJordana Abraham
Want a new friend, Jared, no. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Right, do you want a new friend? I was like, "No, I don't want a friend. I wanna go be lonely at a coffee shop and look at the sun." You know? Like, I-
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
[laughs] You know? Like, I don't want... Like... And it's weird, 'cause that's my initial reaction.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes.
- JSJay Shetty
Where are all-
- JFJared Freid
Of course I want friends, but like-
- JAJordana Abraham
Where are all the friendless men out there?
- JFJared Freid
Right. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Where are all the-
- JFJared Freid
But I have friends. But I, I swear, I got friends. You know? Like, I sound very defensive.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
I am... [laughs] But, like, I, I don't know. Like, I've thought about this. Like-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... it is the one thing where I'm like, the numbers aren't this off.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
But I don't know. 'Cause I even, like, my college friends, mostly married. A, you know, couple divorces in there. High school friends, I got a lot of those still, mostly married.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
But I don't really... You know, I'm 40, I'm single, and we just, we just don't hear from... You know, like, a, a, you know, the, I, I-
- JAJordana Abraham
Men, yes
- JFJared Freid
... I know I'm not alone.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
I'm not like, you know-
- 27:05 – 29:45
Attitude Is Everything
- JAJordana Abraham
say, like, "Tell me more about him."
- JSJay Shetty
Totally.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
And, and it was also, like, I wouldn't necessarily say that he was out of her league, he just felt he had more choice.
- JFJared Freid
Listen, let me-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... well, I, I'll, I'll go back at that.
- JAJordana Abraham
That's a, that's a-
- JSJay Shetty
Let's talk about it
- JAJordana Abraham
... things unpack, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Right, because I don't think that's why men are saying, "I have all these choices."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Like, I, I think that's something that's easy to, like, put on single men to, like, hate on them.
- JSJay Shetty
No, so I'm asking you. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
I, I, I would say that, I mean, I've said this on the show many, like, guys, there's a pro and con. There's, there's, life is gravity, right? The, the, the, the, the thing is, a guy will not go out with you unless he's attracted to you.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
That's just, no. No other questions. Just like your friend.
- JAJordana Abraham
Is it that black and white?
- JFJared Freid
It's that black and white.
- JAJordana Abraham
I'm saying attracted or not? Or is it like-
- JFJared Freid
I'm a-
- JAJordana Abraham
... she's, I don't know. Kinda.
- JFJared Freid
No. There's, it is-
- JAJordana Abraham
Maybe that'll s-
- JFJared Freid
Men are like bees.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, I can relate to that, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
We see the, we see the outline of a woman. We go, yeah. Like, the idea of, like, will it matter if I wear, you know, these types of socks? No, men don't even notice. We just see, I'm, I'm attracted to that thing. And so, like, when, when a guy says he's, like, not attracted, not going, that's, that's a good thing, 'cause you're not on a... All women can understand that if you're on a date with a guy, if he left the house, you know one thing. He's attracted to you.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
That's a beautiful thing, too, if you think of it that way. You go, "I got one thing out of the way." If I'm on a date with a girl, I don't know why she's there.
- 29:45 – 35:19
What is The Best Relationship Advice?
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JAJordana Abraham
... I can work with them."
- JSJay Shetty
Well, it's, it's that age-old idea of men don't want women to change.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
But they will. And women want men to change, but they won't.
- JAJordana Abraham
Exactly.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Right? Like, it's that balance of, like-
- JFJared Freid
Right. Men are just, I mean, like, we always hear about, like, the Disney princess, or, like, how the Disney, Disney movies convince women they're gonna find a Prince Charming.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
And that is very true.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
There's a male version of that, you know, where men have been told in every coming-of-age movie that this, this woman is just gonna show up, and she's into video games, and she's cool-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
... and she gets it. Every coming-of-age movie is some chick who's, like, ah, like, giving guys crap, and, like, she's, like, this dream-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... version. And you're kinda told, and this guy falls in love. So you're kinda told that, like, someone's gonna come along and you're gonna, all of a sudden you're gonna get it.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
And you're gonna want this-... monogamous lifestyle.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
And, you know, uh, I don't think either is fair.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
You know? And but the looks thing, it, it's everyone has a type. Everyone's into something. Every- there's a butt for every seat. I mean, I always say, this sounds gross, but, like, everyone's someone's foot.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Like, there's-
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, yeah
- JFJared Freid
... men out there masturbating to feet, you know? And they, there were so many men masturbating to feet that there's a hyperlink on the porn sites that take you directly to feet. So-
- JAJordana Abraham
But that's why I don't think-
- 35:19 – 36:01
Don't Fall for Social Media Relationships
- JSJay Shetty
better be earning multiple six figures. You better drive an amazing car. You better have a great future. And everyone's looking at both of those things going, "I can't live up to either of them."
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
Right? Do you see that, or...?
- JFJared Freid
Well, the beauty of being a man is that I don't think... I, and this is, uh, where I feel lucky, is that when it comes to dating, maybe I'm not making that money, but I can, I don't think I have to, like, do the right thing by other men. Like, I never feel judged by other men for how I date.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
And I think when we hear from women that are dating, they're always wondering, "Am I doing it right?"
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
"Is this the right text? Is this the right way to go?" And it's almost like, who are you asking?
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
Who's to say?
- 36:01 – 39:00
Using ChatpGPT to Create Messages
- JFJared Freid
And I think when it comes to those conversations of, like, you know, who we answer to, like, I'm, I don't feel the pressure with relationships. You know, I can feel it from the other side of, like, "Hey, what should I wear for a first date?" You know, like, when we get that question, like, they're asking us as if we know what the [censored] we're talking about.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
You know? [laughs] Like, and it's like, "What should we wear for the date?" And then you go-
- JSJay Shetty
What do you say?
- JFJared Freid
"Whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident."
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
And that's, again, to what Jordana said, the diet and exercise of answers. Like, no one wants to hear that.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JFJared Freid
Well, a- a- and but you have women that write in about this, and you're like-Ooh, that comes from a place of like, "Please tell me I'm doing this right."
- JAJordana Abraham
Right. People want rules-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JAJordana Abraham
... I think. People want like the secret sauce, the formula. And really, it's about you and what works for you, and that's, again, like a less flashy-
- JFJared Freid
Yeah
- JAJordana Abraham
... answer. But that's, that's the truth. There's no one way that everyone should act. There's no one kinda person that everyone should be interested in. It's like about what makes you the best version of yourself, and everyone is a different person.
- JFJared Freid
Every time I hear someone say the phrase high value, I'm like, "That person is screwed."
- JAJordana Abraham
Awful, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Just awful and screwed. They're thinking of the wrong thing.
- JAJordana Abraham
They're thinking of the internet-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JAJordana Abraham
... I think.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
And that's, that's the issue I think with modern dating, modern... And it's why it's so hard to sort of like appreciate the things about your partner that you really love because you're seeing, you're scrolling all the time, and you're seeing someone else's partner s- you just... I think of the Pookie and Jet thing. Like someone else's partner -
- JFJared Freid
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
... surprised them with this bag, or someone else's partner is taking them on these crazy dates, and it's... And then you look at your partner, and you're like, "Where's my crazy date?"
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
"Where's my like spontaneous surprise trip?" And I think that, again, you're not even thinking about is that even something I want? Is that even something that like works for me?
- JFJared Freid
Yeah, great question.
- JAJordana Abraham
You're just constantly comparing. And before, you really didn't get that. You didn't get like the behind-the-scenes of every single couple's highlights of like the best moments that they have together. No one's putting their fights up. No one's putting the like stupid argument that they had before bed on the internet, so you're not seeing what's not working for other people until you see the divorce post. And then you kinda-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- 39:00 – 42:06
Why Small Talks Matter
- JFJared Freid
and it will tell me an answer that I don't have to think about it anymore."
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, listen, I think that there's some merit in ChatGPT and helping as a tool, like anything else. Like I don't think if you... I don't think you should use it, not even read it, and send it.
- JFJared Freid
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
But I think it's like we did a, an episode where we did for someone writes in their breakup text. They're texting someone after three dates to say they're not interested, and then we have ChatGPT write the same text. ChatGPT's is better.
- JFJared Freid
Not a bad job, yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
It's, it's, it did-
- JFJared Freid
It did pretty well.
- JAJordana Abraham
It's a little more mature. It's a little... Well, it's, is it as personal? Probably not.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
I think you should edit their thing. But I think if it can help people act like a nicer, better member of society or at least give them somewhere to start, I'm okay with it.
- JSJay Shetty
You're a fan of it for breakups.
- JAJordana Abraham
I wouldn't wanna be told to ask for a divorce with ChatGPT.
- JFJared Freid
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
But I think, you know, if they wrote the first draft and then someone else-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JAJordana Abraham
... edited it, I mean, you know.
- JFJared Freid
Well, the thing we have to admit to is that we've been doing a version of Chapt- GPT from the minute dating apps started.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
Listen, when you're texting, you are writing your own script. You are being the person you would like to be, and that's not you on the fly. That's not you on improv or in the moment. How many times have you been in a conversation or an argument, and then you went home, and you go, "I wish I'd said that. I wish I had this." You never do that about a text.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
Text, you go, you say exactly how you wanna say it-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... the way you wanna say it. The reality is, in what, our podcast, we always say we wanna make you a better buyer. We're not gonna fix dating. Uh, I get put in the position of speaking for men, and it sounds very icky. I'm letting you know exactly what a man is feeling 'cause I'm 10% away from the guy you're dating.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
So I'm telling you what's going on in his head. It's up to you to like take that information and do the best you can and waste less time.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
So this goes to like the texting and ChatGPT. And like, listen, if, if you wanna blame ChatGPT for your relationship problems, you're [censored] .
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
It's just the truth because right now you're texting with someone who's googling the movie that you said you loved.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah, or the quote that you said that they didn't fully understand.
- 42:06 – 44:51
Do Men Actually Have More Dating Options?
- JFJared Freid
first few conversations that make you excited for the date.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
You're trying to skip that.
- JSJay Shetty
It's verifying.
- JFJared Freid
Right, it's a verifying process.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
But when people say that, I'm like, "What's the catch here?"
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
"This was so easy for you to go out. How much time, how much do you value your day?"
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
"You don't value your day?"
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
"Why would I wanna go out with you?" But the problem is someone always is gonna come in and go, "Well, I hate pen pals."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
But that's not a good answer. That's-
- JSJay Shetty
Right
- JFJared Freid
... the, the, the answer's nuanced and gray. If you're texting for six days before a plan is made-Yeah, that's a lot long. That's too long for me
- JSJay Shetty
That's too long for you, right
- JFJared Freid
... for me. But, like, I don't know what someone needs to feel safe.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
I don't know what someone needs to feel excited. You should feel safe and excited. That's, that's the two rules I would give to someone to go on a first date.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
Do you feel safe? Are you excited?
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. And so however long that takes.
- JFJared Freid
How, how long does that take?
- JSJay Shetty
Those are great. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
That's, that's, that's not up to me to say.
- JSJay Shetty
That person saw you and felt safe and excited in that moment-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JSJay Shetty
... [laughs] and said, "Let's go."
- 44:51 – 47:42
The One That Got Away
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. What is-
- JFJared Freid
What's my problem?
- JSJay Shetty
As his friend.
- JFJared Freid
What's wrong?
- JSJay Shetty
No, no, maybe not a problem.
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, Jared, I mean, like a lot of the men out there that, that, um, we talked about earlier, like, has a lot of options. And sometimes I think that's almost, like, a lot of the issue with today's dating world is that-
- JSJay Shetty
Especially for men, it seems
- JAJordana Abraham
... yeah, especially for men who aren't, you know, the-
- JSJay Shetty
Successful men that, um-
- JAJordana Abraham
Right
- JSJay Shetty
... well.
- JAJordana Abraham
Success- successful, high val-
- JSJay Shetty
J-
- JAJordana Abraham
... high-value men.
- JSJay Shetty
High-value guy. No, no, don't. Uh.
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs] No. I, I'm joking. But, like, I'm not. But, um-
- JFJared Freid
I'd like to be doing better. Please follow me on Instagram.
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
I'd like to be doing better. Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
No, I think, I mean, I, I think people don't wanna talk about this 'cause it feels icky, and it feels unfair. But I think that women are, a lot of the time they're constrained by, o- one, societal norms of that they should be, they're more pressured to settle down earlier, and two, biological realities, is that, in that the older you are as a woman, the harder it is to have children. And so I think that there's, there is a freedom that men have where they're not constantly-
- JFJared Freid
Yeah
- JAJordana Abraham
... thinking about dating against that, that timeframe. And again, it feels like an icky conversation. It feels like something that shouldn't be true, but it is true. So I think that men do have more options, and in a lot of ways, especially if you're, like, doing well in your career, and you're, and you're in a city like New York, let's say. And so I think that sometimes you can be a little paralyzed by choice.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
And men will end things before the next step.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
You know, men will go, "This is okay, but I don't know if I wanna go through the work." Like, I'll, I'll say men.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Me, I'll speak for myself. I have ended things before the next step 'cause I'm like, "Is this the next place of l- like, am I ready for this next phase of life?" It's not about the relationship. It's about, do I wanna do the work? Do I want the responsibility? And I have a lot of envy and high regard for people in serious relationships. Like, that takes a lot of confidence. It takes a lot of, like, uh, stress and work that I have gone against. I've said, "Well, I'm gonna put my life into, you know, standup and comedy and, you know, my work," which is a easy excuse for me.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
I also, it's my avoidance of, like, this next thing of life-
- 47:42 – 50:15
Are Men and Women Different in Long-Term Relationships?
- JSJay Shetty
career took over, and then my wife's career took over, and that was ... So it's weird how you can have that at different phases.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
So I can relate to what you're saying-
- JFJared Freid
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yes
- JSJay Shetty
... on the children level, where, like, I wanna have kids, for sure.
- JFJared Freid
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
But I, I mean, we've been together now for 12 years and married for nine. And for me, the focus was I'm getting to build, and I'm doing what I love, and I don't wanna end up feeling like I'm not paying attention to this young, beautiful child that I brought into the world.
- JFJared Freid
Right. Right.
- JSJay Shetty
And I'll, and I'll do it when I can, and I feel like that's a very, feels like a very masculine trait. And so you're, you're feeling the same. I can, like, the way-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JSJay Shetty
... you're talking, I'm like, I can relate to everything you're saying. It's just I'm married.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
That's, that's the only, I've taken on that commitment. I feel good about that one.
- JFJared Freid
And we're around the same age.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
And I think, like, there's good and bad to everything, as we said before.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Like, our parents, like, that may have gotten married young. You go, "Well, I would never do that for me." And they had kids young.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
And then we kinda were given the ability to, like, push those things off.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
And again, there's positive to that. You get to build your career, but then you get, get so precious with your life-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... that you're, like, almost, you become too picky, too choosy, too-
- JSJay Shetty
Totally
- JFJared Freid
... too precious with doing, walking forward. And, uh, what a lot of men will do, like, women will break up after they've tried again and again.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Men will break up before the next step, and that's why a lot of men have the one that got away. I don't, you don't hear from women with the one that got away a lot.
- 50:15 – 52:20
Difficult Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have
- JSJay Shetty
at different ways in my life.
- JFJared Freid
Right. I, I think-
- JSJay Shetty
Where-
- JFJared Freid
Right. It's a very, it-
- JSJay Shetty
It's an ideology that I get.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah. And i- it's for all levels of life. I mean, you talk about kids, you know, like-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's-
- JFJared Freid
Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
Mm.
- JSJay Shetty
I, I think that's just a man's mind is, like, yeah, if you talk to me about kids at 30, I would have been so scared.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
Like, I would just be like, "Oh my God, I don't think I could be a dad." Right? Like, that's how I genuinely felt. Like-
- JAJordana Abraham
Right
- JSJay Shetty
... whereas now I'm 37, and it's like I think about kids a lot.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
Mm.
- JSJay Shetty
That's just a shift that I've been through-
- JAJordana Abraham
Right
- JSJay Shetty
... in my own mind, you know, where at one point if you asked me, I'd have been like, "Ah, I'd be fine without them." And now it's like it's a part of something that I want, and it's such a, whether it's age, maturity, biology, finances, I don't know.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
But there is a sense of that feeling of, yeah, it's not really about the other person. I've always known my wife would be, make a amazing mum. That's like-
- JFJared Freid
Of course
- JSJay Shetty
... not even-
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... the conversation.
- JFJared Freid
Well, we get so many emails that are like, "He ended it, and I wasn't looking to marry, get married." That's always the response.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- JFJared Freid
W- women write in, "Well, I wasn't, it's not like I said I wanted to get married." And it's like, it's really, you know, kinda like demeaning towards the men they're dating because a lot of women don't think that men have the emotional intelligence to, like, think that far ahead.
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, I don't know if it's demeaning. I think women are like, "Why don't you just give this a chance?"
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- 52:20 – 57:28
The Fear Most Men Have When Dating
- JSJay Shetty
he's actually thinking 25 years from now.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
And we're not trusting that she's confident enough-
- JFJared Freid
To, like-
- JSJay Shetty
... to, to do-
- JFJared Freid
... to handle a breakup
- JSJay Shetty
... to handle a breakup in five years.
- JFJared Freid
Again, both sides of that equation I feel bad for. Like, if someone-
- JAJordana Abraham
Oh, right
- JFJared Freid
... got dumped after five years and never got married, thought they were, I'd be like, "Yeah, that sucks."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, of course.
- JAJordana Abraham
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. [laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
But she, but women have agency, too.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
And I think you see a lot of those stories, and you don't get the other side, which is also that, like, yeah, if you're dating someone for five years and you've been looking to get married and they, and, and they're not marrying you, you can leave also at any time.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
And that's the credit you're not giving the woman.
- JFJared Freid
Right. Yeah.
- JAJordana Abraham
Is that, like, if you're not giving her what she wants, she can leave.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Fair.
- JAJordana Abraham
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. It's so, it's so interesting, right? Like, what, what you're both doing, which I really appreciate, is it's almost like if we were able to verbalize this stuff-
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs] Right
- JSJay Shetty
... to the person that we're talking to.
- JFJared Freid
Right.
- JAJordana Abraham
Much harder. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
It's so much harder, but it would transform everything because you'd actually be able to hear someone's heart. Like, you'd, you'd actually be able to hear it and go, "Wow, I didn't realize you were even looking at it from that really thoughtful perspective."
- JFJared Freid
I, I-
- 57:28 – 1:03:27
What Makes a Successful Marriage?
- JFJared Freid
good. Like, I'm not sitting here alone-"
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah
- JFJared Freid
... "dealing with that." But, like, no, a long-term relationship, yeah, I'm looking for that, but I'm also, like, I feel a little delusional even saying that. I was in Australia. I just did shows in Australia, and I went to the Great Barrier Reef. I did, like, the snorkeling at the... I'm not a snorkeler. I don't know.
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
I was just like, I... They were like, "Do you wanna go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef?" And I'm like, how am I gonna say no to that? Like, I'm w- "No, I'd like to sit at the hotel and sit on my phone."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Like, I can't. I have to do this. This is on-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
- JFJared Freid
... the bucket list item. So I took a boat, like, an hour away, and we got to the reef, and I started snorkeling, and the s- the mask kept coming off my face, and I was, like, miserable. Then they give you all this, like, lube, and they say put it on your face, so now I got all this Vaseline. They give you all the Vaseline, and then put it on the face, and I finally get the thing on, and I start looking at the fish. And I remember thinking, like, 10 minutes into this, I'm going, "Is this it? This is the Great Barrier Reef?" And then I'm like, it's thing is, but I'm by myself, and I'm, like, looking at this reef, and I'm like, shouldn't I see a shark or some turtle eat something? You know, like, I... And then we got back on the boat, and I was just sitting alone on the boat, and I'm like, man, I guess this is why people have relationships. Like, I-
- JAJordana Abraham
Someone to go to the Great Barrier Reef with
- JFJared Freid
... and say how horrible it was.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
And go, "Man, that sucked, right?"
- JAJordana Abraham
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
Like, you just wanna go, oh my God. Like, and I, again, I'm sure someone gets a lot of value from seeing the Great Barrier Reef, but, like, you know, again, like, this is old school shit. I'm not say, I'm s- saying anything that-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- JFJared Freid
... Dr. Seuss didn't say, you know? Like, it's who you spend the time with and who you get to complain about it with, and I think I, like, I remember after that trip to Australia, I was like, I'm not d- I think I told you. I was like, "I'm not going."
- JAJordana Abraham
Never going to the Great Barrier Reef-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JAJordana Abraham
... alone again. [laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Right, right. I just remember being on that boat just being like, what the hell am I... I was like, do people like this? Do-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
I, I don't know. I'd think people like that they went with a partner, and they were like, "That sucked, right?"
- JSJay Shetty
That, that's how I felt watching Superman last week.
- JFJared Freid
Yeah?
- JSJay Shetty
I'm trying, I'm trying to get all my friends to go watch it to just figure out whether I'm mad or not.
- JFJared Freid
[laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
Like, it was the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
- JFJared Freid
You hated it.
- 1:03:27 – 1:05:30
Marriage is Choosing Your Partner Every Day
- JFJared Freid
Right. And that's kind of been like the frustrating part about like the internet's evolution over the last like seven years of us doing this podcast, is like there aren't a lot of male voices, straight male voices in this space.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
I'm not trying to like pat myself on the back, but like I'm, w- when I come on this podcast, I am, I'm telling you exactly how I feel.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
And it sounds really icky, as I said before, but like this is it. Like I'm not apologizing for it. I'm just telling you. And like the podcast has been great 'cause, you know, Jordana's never been like, "Well, that's just you. You're gross."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
You know? Like-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- JFJared Freid
Like I am gross.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- JFJared Freid
But I am speaking, I'm within, I'm not 100% away from your boyfriend. I'm 10% away at a max. Most of us are 10% away from each other. So when we talk about stuff like, and you see on the internet like there's no male voice to get back to the horrific stories you hear about dating from the female side. And it's because a lot of the male side of this isn't really morally great.
- JAJordana Abraham
Well, it's, but it-
- JFJared Freid
That's kinda-
- JAJordana Abraham
... doesn't feel whole, quite as wholesome as the intentions for women-
- JFJared Freid
Right
- JAJordana Abraham
... on dating apps. Yeah.
- JFJared Freid
The, the intentions for women on dating apps is, "I wanna find the love of my life and hold hands w- when we're buried together dead." And nothing can be better than that. I, I just like to [censored] Like how do you s- y- you know, that doesn't sound great on the internet, and you will find a million voices shouting you down. "I'm here to be casual and just have a fun time, and maybe if I meet someone, great." Like we have so many people that ask about, and this is like, they'll ask about what men write, or people write, what they write as what they're looking for. And it'll be like, "I'm looking for a long-term relationship. I'm looking for short-term, but open to long." Before that option even exists, I would always say men are looking for short-term optins, option for long. That's what all men are looking for. The dream of this person waltzing into my life and making me not want anyone else. That's the Disney princess to us.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- JFJared Freid
So, you know, when we get asked like, "Oh, what i- they wrote that
- 1:05:30 – 1:17:16
Jared and Jordana on Final Five
- JFJared Freid
they're looking for a long-term relationship, but they ended it with me."
