Dating While Adulting

144 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 months ago - ★★★★★ - 5 ratings

When we were in high school, we looked forward to dating in college. While in college, we looked forward to dating in the "real world". As we got older, one of us actually had the nerve to get married while the other continued living the single life. Join us on this podcast journey as we present two totally different relationship perspectives - one, from a man that has been dating consistently since a teenager and is EXHAUSTED. The other, from a man that has been with one woman for more than a decade and is EXHAUSTED. We are two guys, looking to share our experiences as men, and to get a better understanding of women. We ask questions, share our past and present experiences with the opposite sex, and hold each gender accountable when need be. Check us out at DatingWhileAdulting.com. We hope you enjoy the ride.
