No Fun Bitty: A Vancouver Dating Diary

Episode #5: Alejandro Gets Soft-Launched

For the series finale, M hosts a podcast date with Alejandro—a Vancouverite she met on Hinge just before the show started. Two months in now, they talk about how they went from a swipe right to a podcast mic. Alejandro's tech background lends to discussions about the choice paradox, algorithmic biases, and—in his opinion—the best way to meet people in Vancouver. Fun fact: M's voice is like that because it's winter in Vancouver and she was recovering from a cold.  Image: Gemini gets a little saccharine sweet just in time for the finale.

Episode #4: Rachel's a Hometown Girl Done with Hometown Guys

Tired of games and ghosting? M talks to Vancouver local Rachel about how dating non-Vancouverites who live in the city eliminated the drama for her. We also dive into how our national pastime of conflict-avoidance may be a massive factor as to why the dating scene is the way that it is.

Episode #3: Niamh is Back on the Apps

Niamh moved to Vancouver from Ireland a couple years ago and she has a lot to say about the dating culture here, especially now that she's back on Tinder. We discuss the ubiquity of dating multiple people at a time, why we might gripe about the apps but fear being approached at the grocery store, and when to make it official. BONUS: a call-out to the granola men of Vancouver. Image: Imagen 3 wonders what looking for love atop Grouse Mountain would look like.

Episode #2: Faye Goes From Match to Matrimony

Ever wondered if love can truly come from an app date? M is joined by her good friend and colleague Faye, a Montreal transplant who found her happily ever after in Vancouver through a dating app. We bond over our love for Toronto, debate the merits of the coffee date, and then the fun really begins when M asks Faye for a critique on her one year of dating. Image: Imagen 3 is leaving you a hint at which app Faye used to find her husband.
