All The Big Mistakes Women Make - Chrissie Mayr | Modern Wisdom Podcast 303

I undervalued communication, and I undervalued me liking the guy. It was always like, (gasps) "Am I good enough? Am I hot enough? Am I competing ac- amongst these other women?" Instead of flipping it to like, "Is this guy good enough? Does he even have a job?" (laughs) You know, he was late.

Chrissie May. Welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

Have you managed to get dog poo off your shoe?

(laughs) Yeah. You know, it's starting to be springtime here in New York, and part of that means going around the yard and picking up poops and throwing them over the fence.

(laughs) Why is that only a springtime thing? What happens in winter?

(laughs) Well, what happens in winter is they get covered in the snow, and then th- when the snow melts, like, all the poops appear.

(laughs)

Like, ah. That's kind of what's been happening here in New York. You're like, "Damn, somebody had a busy winter." And then you, like, say it to the dog, and you're like... Yeah.

(laughs) I was walking, I went on a little walk earlier on. This is like a weird thing that people who love dogs but don't have a dog do. So whenever someone that's coming towards me on the street is walking a dog on a leash, I won't make eye contact at all with the other person because this is my 15 seconds of dog attention for, like, potentially for the day, you know, if I have a, a bad walk-

Yeah.

... and I don't pick up many dogs. So I just... But I wonder what they must think of me, 'cause I'm just this psychopath walking past staring at their dog, like longingly staring at their dog, 'cause I love dogs 'cause they're awesome. And, um-

Yeah.

... yeah, I just wonder, I wonder if it weirds people out.

Uh, it actually makes me feel really good to hear that you do exactly what I do. I could not care less about the owner. Like, e- exactly, like I h- I hoard as much dog time as possible. Like, (laughs) I almost think, like, y- you know, like in, when I was in New York City more, like there'd be dog walkers and then you'd be like, "Jackpot." You know, I'd like-

(laughs)

... I will cross a street just to meet a dog. And then like, I'm like what would be like the next level thing that like the dog just couldn't... I think if you just laid down, that would be the thing the dog, like, could not avoid. At that point, it's like the dog is gonna jump on you, 'cause you're just like-

So the human's- the human's just there-

Yeah.

... to facilitate you looking at a dog, basically.

Yeah, and I, and when I walk, actually it's like my, my boyfriend's mom's dog, but I feel like we're like close. Like, I was there the day she came home, so I feel like, I don't know, we're like, we're close buds. If, when people just go up to Muffin, I don't take it as a personal offense. I'm just like, "No, she's super F-in cute," Like, of course.
