#15: Tinder Fails and Fatphobia in China

Samantha, co-host of ‘From Tops To Bottoms’ podcast, joins us this week for a hilarious, open, and honest chat about her Tinder fails and sexual explorations in China. She shares how she left a long-term relationship in the UK and went on her first Tinder date in Beijing (which her co-host Cassie followed her on in disguise), how she went on a date with a guy who turned out to be extremely racist, and other dating experiences she's had. She also talks about fatphobia in China, how working at a kindergarten has given her thick skin, and the thin line between appreciating a body and fetishizing. The DNC hosts and Samantha also talk about how moving to China gives people freedom to explore their identity outside of their home country, how some truly terrible and traumatic dates are funnier in hindsight than they are in the moment, and why women have a difficult time saying no in uncomfortable situations (but should just say f*ck that!). Also, Nathan starts a drinking game where everyone needs to drink anytime someone says “transient” on the podcast.  Interested in sharing your story for a video or the podcast?
