I've listened for years and found the show fun and the advice really helpful while I was dating. However, in the past year or so, the show has taken a nosedive. Jared is almost unbearable to listen to these days. I find it so hard to believe he wants a relationship, or even a girlfriend, when he seems to hate everything about women. His misogyny is out of control and today's vape episode really highlighted it.
The way he bent over backwards to blame the writer for her boyfriend's bad habit was WILD. He can't even acknowledge "Hey, yeah he probably downplayed how much he vaped." It's not that deep. Nope - he goes straight to "He must be vaping more because his annoying girlfriend is stressing him out!!!" What??? He also has a way of reading women's emails in a tone that always makes the women sound worse than what they've actually written. Jordana tries to give good advice, but Jared just talks over her half the time.
It's also hilarious to keep hearing him talk about how easygoing he is when every story he tells about an interaction with a stranger or his family shows that's he's not easygoing at all. In fact, he seems to be really particular about what he wants to do/how he wants to be approached. He gets insulted at the tiniest compliment. I think he legitimately thinks that because of the internet, women have it so much easier and it's so hard for men, which is just not true at all. And, his advice is just bad now. He may be 10% away from 40 year old single male comedians who have issues with their moms, but he's probably at least 50% away from the myriad of men I know.
But, I keep listening. I keep yelling at the podcast in my car. The show is like a train wreck now - I can't look away. But definitely don't take a lot of their advice lol.
