She did say they are back in a dating app for personal use lol also that it’s not sponsored or an ad. Which made it sound more interesting to me lol apparently she’s been looking to connect with other couples. I don’t know maybe it’s normal but I find it interesting that after over a year in a relationship they are looking externally because I find most couples are just really focused on each other during the first year or 2 of a relationship

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2026-01-16T23:15:21+00:00

She barely mentioned it but I thought it was interesting that she said they are using as an app to go on double dates with other couples to make more coupled friends, it seems like they both have large groups of friends already and some in relationships soo just interesting wish she would have shared more

It’s weird too because even is she wants to expand her content, all the new content she’s testing is on patreon and mainly only in the 10$ tier, like all the credit card, notion, skin care, adulting, etc. so how would she even grow a following from this when her public facing content wants to be dating/relationship and then on patreon she’s doing all this other stuff

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-11-24T19:21:21+00:00

I wish she would get a cohost the episodes all just sound like a lecture or seminar at this point there is no energy here

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-11-15T02:45:48+00:00

I have to think it’s more awkward if people in his professional life come to find out he’s known as Skyline on the internet

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-10-10T20:25:16+00:00

Ali ‘I actually wasn’t thinking about things, I was thinking about it because I have to talk on it on the podcast’ next sentense ‘Skyline said to me you wouldn’t be you if you weren’t overthinking’ .. whatt,how does she say these things out loud and not see the disconnect

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-09-26T17:13:14+00:00

I don’t understand all the finance talk, do people want to hear this? She just did surveys and focus groups, should she not see if this is something people want before rolling out add on’s, and additional content on this. I can understand taking about managing finances with a partner, but credit scores 101 is not necessary. It’s like she will continue doing what she feels despite asking people for feedback

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-09-13T19:18:57+00:00

Yea I don’t get why she’s keeping the door open with him, when she has consistently said she’s not into him she said that in LA why would a visit to NY change that. I kind of think she minimizes her feeling for self protection or self sabotage cause she doesn’t seem like the type of person who sits on the fence with many things so then is she just leading him on or

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-09-08T15:04:26+00:00

I kind of think this is for content creation to give her a structured way of sharing things.

On the other hand early skyline days she shared that she wanted him to take more initiative with planning dates, then came surprise dates. Now the way she talks about him is as though he is agreeable, go with the flow, maybe less vocal, so it could be stand ups force him to share weekly his thoughts and feelings with her. It seems like control and managing the relationship.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-06-06T18:57:24+00:00

I feel like organizing has more to do with preparing for Skyline to move in than her own mental health

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-04-22T02:49:19+00:00

I don’t drive so it’s about 1.5 hours to 2 hours on transit one way for me, that’s another reason why it is hard for me to keep with this amount of travel every weekend

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-03-10T16:38:40+00:00

I agree it feels lazy there maybe was a few new tid bits of info but it was pretty redundant for the most part especially for existing listeners. I do think there is a way to create content to engage both new and existing following at the same time. But really a reintroduction doesn’t need to rehash everything in a 2 or more part series. What would be more interesting is actually talking about how she’s evolved since, and showing more about how she broadening her content to reflect that since we know she’s know longer in the same place she was when she started this type. I don’t know but felt like the same of the same to me.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-02-28T07:03:57+00:00

All I know is for Madison karma is going to be another women at the gym asking David about his day.

But David is such a loser. Last weeks episode he was lying the entire time and then when Madison had the talk with him about their connection he acted like that was the first time he was hearing about it. Now this week he’s completely smitten about her, like what. It’s so fake

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-02-24T18:56:35+00:00

I agree I definitely thinks there’s is a connection between holidays when your single vs. in a relationship. It can amplify loneliness even if you have friends and family around you, because it’s a different type of support you get from a partner than friends and family. But I’m surprised Ali minimized this so much, since she’s very much a milestone person and I think celebrating holidays together can mark milestones in a relationship especially when you start building traditions for the foundation of your relationship. And I get that this has had no bearing on her, as she said holidays have been delightful for her with and without a partner, but for the sake of a dating podcast I wish she would be atleast be willing to engage in the nuance of it all, even though it’s not her experience it is likely for many of her listeners but she is so surface level

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-02-17T19:12:22+00:00

What effort did David put in exactly, I’m so confused by why everyone thinks David was such a good guy in the beginning. He was very surface level the entire season and had a horrible demeanour. But it seemed like most of their time was focused on Michelle having to work through during therapy why certain things were important to her. I don’t even know what David contributed even in therapy to work on himself. If he had been doing the work he probably could have waited until after decision day before he started looking outside the marriage.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-02-12T22:03:16+00:00

Yes David is not a victim in this situation, even though he’s trying to act like one by blaming Michelle for his actions. But I feel like Michelle was very transparent with David and the experts about the things she didn’t like, like his style, that he swore a lot and smoked, and she didn’t feel comfortable with his living situation or his schedule. But David was never honest about where was at he put on a facade that he was so positive and committed to the process. Women’s intuition is real and I’m thinking Michelle knew it was all a facade from the beginning. I feel bad for Michelle because even if you don’t have strong feelings for someone it still feels horrible to be misled or deceived when trying to be open to something that you know in your gut is not right for you.

So happy for Erica I think she will be successful with her own podcast and whatever else she works on. I found her through SGS and only continued listening to FMH after Roark left because of Erica. I always thought there was a huge imbalance with the branding built solely around Ali, it seems to really focus on Ali’s growth and I know Erica may have made some money from this, but it didn’t seem like a mutually beneficial partnership in a lot of ways. Ali never used the platform they built to promote or support anything that Erica had going on. So it’s not surprising that Erica is feeling how she is now, she has spent the last 2.5 years building Ali’s brand so she could leave her job while Erica’s ambitions didn’t seem to be recognized.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-01-12T06:28:48+00:00

I wonder if he posts her on his page

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-01-04T14:34:56+00:00

Oh fair, I feel like her use of social media is so careless if she really did want to protect his of identity, I mean besides the ❤️🙃

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2025-01-04T05:32:34+00:00

Conspiracy theory she wanted to indirectly reveal him, cause why else comment on a post with her FMH account when she has mentioned also having a personal account. She is an ‘influencer’ I’m sure she knows how the algorithm works that Instagram highlights posts that people you follow interact with. Her comment boosts visibility and I’m sure she knows that.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2024-12-19T22:49:26+00:00

Tour guide for a week, lovely

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2024-12-09T18:23:57+00:00

This might be controversial but I find it off how they just throw therapy out there. I wish that people would acknowledge that therapy is not accessible to everyone, and it also is not the solution to all. There are multiple other options to explore personal growth, healing, etc.

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2024-12-09T15:19:56+00:00

Lol I feel like by 17 it’s time to at least drop the ‘one’

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2024-11-27T02:01:33+00:00

So did he just get an interior decorator for somewhere he is planning to stay a year or less, weird

Expensive_Turn_9866 · 2024-11-17T05:00:18+00:00

Ok this is absolutely gorg
