Ep. 116 – Two’s Company, COVID’s a Crowd: Non-Monogamy During a Pandemic

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Kelley

Roger helps me with my unhealthy relationship with Alexa and then lays out his plans for the Love Pyramid, a supplement to his 7-Day Date System.

We do an in-depth review of HBO Max’s There’s No I in Threesome and we get to the actual show topic at the 57-minute mark and then go right back off topic seven minutes later – Success!Tables get flipped over commercials on DVDs (because it’s the ’90s) and we find Hygge in the Space Program.

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Kelley

Ep. 114 – The Friendzone Debate: You’re Incorrect, But I Still Like You…as a friend.

Posted on February 1, 2021 by Kelley

Don’t yell at us — we know it was the Phantom Zone!

Roger is back to debate whether or not the Friend Zone exists. We talk about meeting one of the stars from Aliens, playing an Aliens RPG, and realizing that taking a second to Google the Phantom Zone shouldn’t be an alien concept.

Tables get flipped, Hygge is found, and we get one step closer to turning Roger’s 7-Date Program for Success into a book or something.

Ep. 112 – Dating in 2021: New Year, Same Pandemic

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Kelley

Join the Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/matinghabits

Roger returns to help me leaf through stacks of articles about how dating has changed since the pandemic started.

We tell you what we really think about Wonder Woman 1984 – spoiler alert, we hated it and rail against it from minute mark 12:30 – 46:40. That’s over a half hour of disdain!

Tables are flipped over the vaccine roll-out, and we get warm feelings from Flash Gordon and the local Starbucks Baristas.

Ep. 111 – Mating Habits Holiday Extravaganza – We’re Back!

Posted on December 24, 2020 by Kelley

WE’RE BACK! Roger returns to help me say F-Off to 2020 and get Mating Habits started again for 2021.

We celebrate the Holiday Season talking about awkward gift giving during the holidays with a brand new relationships, renting out movie theaters in the age of pandemic, and a new RPG podcast featuring me! where I play in a GURPS space opera across all times zones.

We talk about The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale [SPOILERS FROM MINUTE MARKER 16:05 – 21.58].

Aphrodisiacs aren’t really a thing, and in 2021, we’re still going to flip tables, but we’re going to right them again with reflections of Hygge to end things on a positive note.

Ep. 110 – The COVID-19 Episodes – Revolution

Posted on June 2, 2020 by Kelley

Joe Hogan from the Geektitude and State of the Geek podcasts joins me on this solemn episode of Mating Habits of the Modern Geek. In light of all the terrible things happening in our country (and the world) at the moment, Joe and I stay in our lane and voice our support for the protests and the Black Lives Matter Movement, and then go on to chat about some lighthearted stuff like streaming shows Never Have I Ever and Upload; table-top games like the Kickstarter-only Hel and To Hunt a Killer; and a couple of true-crime podcasts thrown in for good measure.

Here are some links to resources and information about the protests, how you can help, and some podcasts by people of color to talk more about the subject in a way that Joe and I cannot – stay safe out there!
