We could be wrong, but we’re pretty sure nearly every woman on the planet has dated a dude who has no job, no ambition, and no goals. In this episode, Jen and Carolyn focus a bit on what’s going on with dudes like the ones who provided inspiration for such songs such as TLC’s Scrubs and Eryka Badu’s Tyrone, BUT the emphasis is really going to be on why us women bother with these walking red flags in the first place. As always, Carolyn brings the therapist angle, giving us insight into the world of 40 year old dudes who play video games in their parent’s basement all day and why we give these guys any of our precious time.
