It’s another fun episode of the Drew Barrymore show! The Drew Crew dish on Damona’s book “F the Fairy Tale: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story”.
Then they explore how to detect a Catfish! An audience member share her experience with a catfish on a dating app while Damona helps point out the warning signs to watch out for.
From Bumble shaking things up by letting guys respond first now, to singles ditching the apps and trying bold moves like passing out actual “dating business cards” to make connections IRL (that’s “in real life” for you, Mario!).
But the real fun was playing Damona’s red flag/green flag game, debating whether giving away TV show endings is a deal-breaker or if being a bad dresser is fixable. Courtney and Damona had Mario sweating with their “Saved by the Bell” fandom throwing some friendly shade his way too.

In a recent NPR interview, Damona shared her insights on Bumble’s latest update: Women no longer have to make the first move!
With the introduction of Opening Moves, Bumble is shifting the dynamics of online dating, offering female users a new way to initiate conversations without the pressure of always making the first move. This is after years of their policy of women having to make the first move.
“But the unintended result of that was that women started to feel burdened by having to think of what to say, having to always keep the conversation going,” Hoffman said.
This change not only empowers women but also addresses the growing issue of dating-app fatigue. As Damona highlights, this innovation reflects a broader trend in the dating world, where platforms are adapting to meet the evolving needs of their users.
