Dating is hard.

But dating in the Bay?! That's a whole 'nother story. Welcome to part 3 of the Weird Ass Bay Area Dating Scene series, #Pride edition!

This episode centers around the foolishness of the Bay Area dating scene and how the LGBTQIA+ community navigates dating here. Whether you're a transplant or are born and bred here, when it comes to dating you're most likely looking like confusion Susan aka lost AF.

We sat down with Nenna, owner of the sex shop, Feelmore in downtown Oakland; Dannie, Co-Founder of Good Vybz; and our good friend, Sidney last week to provide some insight on the queer dating experience -- they spoke about all the different dating apps, some of their favorite parties they frequent, and even some tips on how to properly approach them in-person. Our three guests also opined on how they have mixed emotions of the dating landscape and detail the chasms between the gay and lesbian population and how much of it is rooted in the gender binary, heteronormativity that is often propagated.
