LOLOL I love it when the people with kids get pissed about the people with puppies comparing them to kids. Best.Tantrum.Ever.
Great show, I really enjoyed it!
I absolutely agree on what was being said about becoming dateable and improving yourself. This is also very much in line with what’s being taught by a previous guest on this show, Jordan Harbinger from the Art of Charm. Check out show number 13 and theartofcharm.com.
They’re more into self-improvement than into dating tips nowadays, for exactly the reasons Cameron was talking about. They’ve never been into stupid, downgrading tricks and pick-up lines anyway.
Sorry, but dog & baby NOT the same thing at all you can definitely tell neither of you have children
