Dating Apps, Part 1

The 2 LADS Podcast

Oct 12 2021 • 52 mins

In the first part of another 2-part discussion, the 2 LADS go a little lighter with the topic of dating apps, including Daniel’s experiences with them and why he says they felt more powerful than drugs. Daniel also explains what the terms somatic and corpsing mean while Leggy talks about being impulsive and how he feels about meditation. Come back next week when the lads continue the discussion, getting into Leggy’s experiences with online dating along with a few more dating app shenanigans from Daniel.

The 2 LADS podcast tackles big topics with brutal honesty and vulnerability; replacing shame and guilt with truth and love in the quest for emotional and spiritual growth. These conversations are unflinching, uncomfortable, funny... and ongoing.

JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:

(03:02) - Corpsing explained - “I am a notorious corpser.”

(12:57) - On somatics - “It's wild how much your mind is so sneaky, you know? And actually your body, it always tells you the truth.”

(17:50) - Things that are ‘woo woo’ - “We have a tendency as human beings to make up narratives if we can't explain something. It's like the placebo effect, right? Very often we can make things up in our heads and empirical data often allows you to make much clearer decisions.”

(18:47) - Music as a metaphor for how we look at the world - “You can either go to a concert and spend a lot of time listening to cat guts being drawn against horse hair creating vibrations, or you can go and listen to a violin play a beautiful concerto. And both are true.”

(21:39) -  Leggy’s patterns in relationships - “If it's just you in a room, then you're a genius, you know? Because there's no potential pushback.”

(32:55) - Bonus Question for Patrons - “Where are your limitations in a relationship? How do they come up and how do they manifest?”

(35:01) - Daniel on dating apps - “Dating apps essentially remove the discomfort of that rite of passage, accountability and putting yourself out there.”

(46:12) - The objectification and projection that dating apps proliferate - “You can't possibly read the energy of a person when you're just looking at pictures.”

(47:31) - The unlimited access that dating apps offer - “It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet. There's no value to it because you've paid $2.99 and now you can just eat whatever you want.”
