Have you ever met someone with a punchable face…and even more punchable opinions?
In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell endure the pain of hearing from a man who claims celibacy taught him that he’s “too smart to find love,” and though he comes close, he never actually considers the problems might just be…him.
Reading The Telegraph’s article from the man himself, Mattha Busby, they break down his actual problems in finding love (spoiler alert: it’s him), what might actually help him, and offer up new perspectives on what “intelligence,” “cleverness,” and “wit” actually entail.
Highlights of the episode:
• A men’s group that makes you make vows with an axe??
• Dr. Liz and Harris’ first pop culture crushes (kids today just don’t understand)
• Knowing who David Bowie is isn’t a sign of intelligence
If you’re a smarty-pants and you want to get into other smarty-pants’ pants, then this episode is for you! Dr. Liz and Harris share how to actually find folks whose interests align with yours, without being a major jerk in the process.
