This week in The Lounge I interviewed Joe Feminella, the founder of a new dating app on the block, First Round's On Me.I'm not shy about expressing on this poddy how I feel dating apps have changed the culture of dating - often for the worse - and Joe and I discuss these factors in this fun convo!We cover some of the things Joe's learned about dating with apps and dating culture through his research as he creates a dating app with a difference, and talk about the pitfalls and dangers of regular dating apps. We discuss our own experiences using apps, cover some of the different lingo and slang being used in dating app culture now and what it means, and I ask Joe for his best dating tips and red flags. Joe tells us about how he has created his new app to eliminate one of the biggest problems with using dating apps and how we can survive the dehumanising nature of the app dating landscape that's become rife with ghosting, game playing, and dopamine-driven swipe addictions.This is a fascinating insight into how our brains work when given a tool like this, and I found it heartening to chat with Joe and discover that there's at least some people out there in the corporate world trying to bring humanity, connection and intimacy back into our interactions with strangers. Joe is led by love and human connection, and though FROME is only available in the States at the moment, if I was single I'd be lining up to get on this app when it hits Australian shores (hint hint, nudge nudge!)You can check out the app here: https://firstroundsonme.co, https://www.instagram.com/firstroundsonme/ and suss Joe's IG at https://www.instagram.com/firstroundsonjoe/Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!Make sure you're subscribed for more LL action, and it'd absolutely warm my heart and tickle my clit if you'd leave a gushing review or five star rating for the poddy!*** Join my Labia Lounge Facebook group for extra content, Q & As, freebies from my guests, discounts and to be part of a rad and supportive community of labial legends! www.facebook.com/groups/thelabialounge/Grab a P*ssy Magnet and check out the new Labia Lounge MERCH over here (there's even fanny packs if the standard tote bags and tees ain't cuttin' it for ya!): https://www.freyagraf.com/productsonline-trainingsAnd chuck me a follow here: https://www.instagram.com/freyagraf_thelabialounge/AND here: (my backup account cos I keep offending the Algorithms-that-be) https://www.instagram.com/freya.graf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freyagraf?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc***JOIN QUEEN OUT ONLINE COURSE NOW WITH YOUR LABIA LOUNGE DISCOUNT CODE!***Sign up here using the code LABIALLEGENDS - https://www.freyagraf.com/online-courseAnd on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/5LZhYmHvXkwOr support me and the poddy by buying me an extra hot soy chai latte (yes, that is my coffee order cos I'm a bit of a tosser like that) here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/freyagraf Hosted on Acast.
