In this episode of Slightly Shook, Dean & Nickko dive into dating preferences... and GWORL, what got us SHOOK this week is preferences people have when it comes to dating in the gay community, the stereotypes that come with labels such as “masc for masc,” amongst others. Bestie, sometimes what is disguised as a preference is underlying insecurity from the other side and or just problematic.
On this episode, we discuss the importance of questioning your own preferences and where they may stem from because sometimes we notice a pattern of why we constantly get our heartbroken when going after “our type.” Listen to this episode if dating apps give you SO much fatigue, make you feel bad about yourself or question whether or not you should just delete them all together… But remember, another person’s problematic preferences do not define your beauty, your worth or how you should live your life. If they make excuses for being fat phobic, racist, etc… then you don’t even want to interact with them anyway.
We hope this episode gave you a push to either get back on dating apps, or find some hope in dating because we understand… it’s ROUGH out here in THEE trenches…
