LGBTQ+: Lesbian Community & Dating Apps, ”The U-Haul,” Bar Scene & More w/ Laurel & Alaina

On this week's episode, we dive into the LGBTQ+ community, specifically the Lesbian community, and any differences or similarities in dating culture in LA and Philly. Spoiler alert: there are WAY more similarities than differences seen on each coast. Guests Laurel (based in Philly) and Alaina (based in LA) join Ashley in discussing their experiences dating in the Lesbian community across a variety of topics, including using dating apps, navigating the bar scene, relationships vs hook-ups (has anyone heard of "the U-Haul??"), and using social media - both to slide into DMs and figure out who they should or should not date. They each share dating successes, like Alaina meeting her current girlfriend at a bar in downtown Huntington Beach, as well as major fails - like Laurel dumping a girl she was dating on Valentine's Day, only to be stuck in a shared Uber ride home with her across the city. Ashley also discusses how their experience compares to hers as a straight woman dating in Philly and LA - even though a guy asked if she was a lesbian just this weekend. Be prepared to laugh and learn a lot about the community this week!
