250 Comments and Still Single - Modern Dating, Loneliness, and Starting Over CONDENSED
About this Episode
Bill welcomes Stephanie Ide back to the studio, and right out of the gate things get interesting. First, they catch up—and Stephanie drops the news that she has a brand-new fully produced song, and she and her boyfriend are in the middle of shooting a music video for it. Once it’s finished, she’s putting it everywhere. Love it or question it, you have to admit—Stephanie is fearless.
They also touch on how that same grit and determination helped Stephanie become one of the top real estate agents in Western New York, before the internet officially enters the chat.
What really brought Stephanie into the studio? A Facebook post that broke the algorithm—and accidentally became a modern dating case study.
Stephanie posted about two of her beautiful, smart, loyal, successful friends who just happened to be single. The rules were simple: no DMs allowed. Men had to comment publicly with the word “interested”, and the women would decide who intrigued them enough to reach out.
What followed was 250+ comments, 19,000 views, and a lot of opinions.
Bill and Stephanie scroll, laugh, question, and unpack what this says about modern dating, loneliness, standards, and starting over in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s—when you’re confident enough to know what you want, but tired enough to avoid nonsense. Is dating actually harder today, or just different? Are apps helping or hurting? Is it choice overload, post-divorce life, or people simply refusing to settle?
This episode doesn’t hand out dating advice—but it does hold up a mirror to how we’re acting right now, and might just push you to give it one more honest try.
