Dirty Bathwater "dating after 50" with Giddy and Lux
Welcome to Dirty Bathwater, the number one dark comedy podcast about dating! We're Giddy and Lux, and we're here to share our experiences and lessons in the crazy world of dating. With too many years of bad dating experiences under our belts, we've learned that dating during a pandemic can be particularly insane. Now on the other side, we realize that dating remains a challenge for everyone! Yes, the dating world can still be just as wild and unpredictable as when we were young. The only difference is that WE notice that we are not young. Our body parts may be out of alignment and we may need a tune-up. Don't forget to check the treads on the tires. But we are still beautiful, right? Right? Whether you're looking for advice or just a good laugh, we're here to help. From navigating the challenges of kissing during a plague to figuring out who pays for the meal when one of you is unemployed, we tackle all the tough questions with humor and honesty. We'll even help you decode those confusing dating app acronyms! So join us as we explore the ups and downs of dating after 50. Remember, it's all an adventure, so let's have some fun and try not to hurt anyone along the way. Dive into an episode and share dirty bathwater with a friend.
