Topics
Alex Bennett: 友谊中也存在让人反感的行为(icks)。例如,朋友之间过度分享隐私,或者在刚认识时就对其他人说三道四,这都会让人感到不舒服。此外,无法在突发状况下灵活变通,或者在群聊中对所有建议都说"不",但又说不出来自己想做什么,也是让人反感的行为。在AA制消费时斤斤计较,或者总是让别人买单,也是不好的行为。 秘密单身行为指的是伴侣不在时,人们会做的某些私密行为,例如拔掉下巴上的毛发、在床上吃饭等。这些行为在伴侣不在时是正常的,但在伴侣在场时可能会让人感到不舒服。 关于慢热型恋爱,我认为在约会四次后,应该对对方有一定的感觉。如果一直没有感觉,可能说明双方缺乏必要的化学反应,这段关系可能不会成功。 Jordyn Woodruff: 我讨厌朋友不洗头或者好几天不洗澡。我也讨厌那些无法在突发状况下灵活变通的朋友,或者在群聊中对所有建议都说"不",但又说不出来自己想做什么的朋友。在AA制消费时斤斤计较,或者总是让别人买单,也是让人反感的行为。 我的秘密单身行为之一是在床上吃饭。 关于慢热型恋爱,我认为在约会四次后,应该对对方有一定的感觉。如果一直没有感觉,可能说明双方缺乏必要的化学反应,这段关系可能不会成功。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why are people thanking Beyonce on social media?

The trend started as a joke when artists thanked Beyonce in their acceptance speeches for major awards, even if they didn't collaborate with her. It has since evolved into a meme and conspiracy theory, with some linking her to the Illuminati.

What is the 'Rebuilding Atlantis' cult on TikTok?

Rebuilding Atlantis is a movement led by a man in Texas who bought land and invited people to live on it freely, without supplying housing. People are drawn to his message of revolution and anti-rich sentiment, leading some to speculate it could become a cult.

What are some examples of 'secret single behaviors'?

Examples include eating entire boxes of donuts in bed, shaving body hair, popping pimples, and cleaning ears. These are behaviors people do when alone or when their partner is away, often things they wouldn't want their partner to see.

What is the TikTok trend about doing more for yourself to be loved?

The trend suggests that the more you do for yourself and grow as a person, the more your partner will love you. It contrasts with the idea that doing things for a partner will make them love you more, emphasizing self-worth and independence.

What are some 'friendship icks'?

Common friendship icks include oversharing too early in a relationship, not washing hair, not showering for multiple days, and being unable to pivot in social situations. These are behaviors that can make a friend uncomfortable or annoyed.

Is a slow-burn romance worth pursuing?

A slow-burn romance can be worth it if there's a spark by date four. If there's no romantic or physical attraction by then, it might just turn into a friendship. The key is to feel butterflies and excitement when seeing the person.

What is the 'From' dating app about?

The 'From' app focuses on getting people out of the endless swiping and texting phase by encouraging immediate date planning. It aims to create more intentional and productive dating experiences by focusing on real-life interactions.

What are some of the hosts' favorite products from the sponsors?

The hosts rave about Skims bras for their comfort and support, Quince's cashmere sweaters for their affordability and quality, and Monster Ultra Sunrise Orange for its nostalgic taste and energy boost.

How does alcohol affect hangovers differently for people in their 30s?

Alcohol can affect people differently in their 30s, with some experiencing hangovers more easily than before. Factors like metabolism, hydration, and hormonal cycles can play a role in how the body processes alcohol.

What is the hosts' take on PDA (Public Display of Affection)?

The hosts agree that PDA can be sweet, especially forehead kisses, but they prefer it to be minimal. They note that having a child together can deepen the affection between partners, making PDA feel more natural.
