DeepSummary
In this episode of the 'Why Won't You Date Me?' podcast, host Nicole Byer and her guest comedian Stavros Halkias discuss their dating experiences, including the struggles of being single, using dating apps, and Stavros' experiences hooking up with audience members while on tour. They touch on topics like faking orgasms during bad sexual encounters and the cultural differences Stavros experiences as a Greek-American.
Stavros shares an embarrassing story about a particularly bad hookup he had out of desperation and low self-esteem, where he went through with having sex despite not being attracted to the person and even her having a foot odor issue. They discuss the idea of being the 'cool uncle' who remains single but is still part of the family versus settling down with a partner.
The conversation also covers Stavros' ideal partner, with emphasis on shared values, compatibility with friends and family, and an active sex life. They explore the potential dating dynamics of Stavros finding a partner from his cultural roots in Greece during an 'eat, pray, love' type of journey.
