Pauline even sent me one Which I didn't realize you were on the pulse of dating trends When you think of Paulina Row You think of the dating trends One thing about her One thing about Paulina She's married but she's on the pulse of single people's life Hey man, they don't call me know at all Paula for nothing No, no one calls you that That is single soul That is single soul
3:04You missed it You missed it You missed it You missed it It's like when we had a substitute teacher in school And I would tell them like I had a different name than I do like a nickname Like that never happened But the last three or four weeks Paulina has been one thing about me And then But we've heard a lot of things Yeah, Jason knows he's been here One thing about me Well, but he's been a... I feel like we've heard a lot of one things about you Yeah, I got a lot of things about me The last couple weeks A lot Paulina is not one I've ever heard before but that's good Ghost lighting This isn't the one you sent me But there's a new dating buzzword making the round The buzzword say that it might even be more frustrating than ghosting This one's called ghost lighting I'm ready to be mad Uh-huh Oh yeah, that's what I'm here to do Fire you up The term describes what happens when someone disappears from a relationship Classic ghosting But then later pops back into your life and tries to rewrite history Instead of owning the silence They may act like nothing happened or suggest that you are overreacting for bringing it up
4:07Relationship experts I always wonder who these people are In all these articles, it's relationship experts Paulina, how is Paulina? One thing about Paulina, how is Paulina? Oh, I'm right here Right here So Paulina says the behavior can especially be especially confusing because it makes its emotional abandonment with manipulation The person being ghost-lighted may start questioning their own memory of offense Or feel like they're asking for too much Okay That's just gaslighting Why do we have to call ghost-lighting? Yeah It's called dating Right It's called dating and then you meet someone and like sort of maybe think you're going to be happy And then someone can sense in the air that's happening and then they reappear That is so true They always come back Yeah That's also called dating It's like you know, you have a terrible breakup with someone you're really sad about it It takes you while to get over it Then you meet someone else you're like, ah, there is light And then There is light in it It comes that person because they can smell it
5:07They can sniff it out Oh, that person's happy now Let me ruin it Yep Yeah, it's very common A clear coding is another dating trend from Tinder At least there are the ones I guess who are highlighting this, along with some psychologists It's a hot new trend It's called clear coding It doesn't involve computers instead It's about being radically upfront in dating Saying who you are, what you want, and what you're not looking for was zero mixed signals The idea borrows from good programming habits Just like clean code is easy to read Clear coding In dating means it communicating in a straightforward honest way Without hidden meanings or surprises No, I like things Wait, what, this is not good Yeah, this isn't a bad one actually Except that if you're too, you know, you get in trouble if you're not forward enough And then you get in trouble if you're too forward Because it's a crime to just say that you want something that the other person doesn't want Especially if you just come out and be like, I want to hook up
6:08That apparently makes you a disgusting person That's how you wind up on those message boards If you say that, like if you're just very forward about something casual, that's criminal apparently You really can't do that Here's my thing If I'm too direct about my intentions One, I'm not wasting your time if you don't see eye to eye too Just move on That's right, I like that Right, I do too Yeah, I mean what you want, what you really want Right, that's what I'm saying Right now, I guess I don't get it People just get, people are just so easily affected And if you're gross about it, that's one thing But like if you just come out and be like, hey, I'm just looking for something casual right now If that isn't what you want, then you should say, well thanks for your transparency Yeah That's not what I want and then move on I get it over early instead of you getting invested in it Exactly Right, now I'm attached to everything Because Lord knows if that, if my intentions are casual But when I make it seem like I want more, well that's misleading Right And manipulative, and then I'm a bad person too, so you can't do this And then this is actually what this one is, the third one I have for you today
7:08Future faking This one's kind of messed up, but this is when someone uses the idea of a shared future To secure immediate emotional intimacy According to a breakup coach That's me One thing about Pauline That's not my lane One thing about Pauline is she doesn't know how to do that Nope Yeah, a breakup coach Oh, I'll be your breakup coach I'm the best at that You actually are I'll be happy to tell you I know, that is your lane I'll be happy to tell you Get out of here, there's that person sucks Your ubers outside Get over here You don't need them You don't need them Well, that's the thing I've had to learn to have a little softer touch about people's relationship issues Because I'll see it And then it happens, but I already knew it was going to happen And then I'm like, see, I don't say I told you so, but it's like I knew it, you know, and I'm like, good You got to move on, right? Finally, you're seeing what I've been seeing
8:08But they don't know what wants to hear that That's not the thing people want to hear First, you got to like, commiserate with them Yeah, it's like you're shocked too Yeah, right Like, oh my god They did that? They cheated? No It's good Yeah, it's a hard line to play Because you want your friend to figure it out on their own You don't want to be the naysayer But the other problem is If you don't speak up about something that you see In someone else's bad relationship Then the problem will be Later they might go And you knew it all along It didn't tell me You know what I mean? I look stupid all this time You didn't tell me But it's like, yeah, but if I tell you what I think And then I'm a naysayer, then I'm being negative I'm the bad guy Right And then if you somehow manage to work it out Then I get eliminated Because I'm the bad influence on the other person Who's like he doesn't like me, she doesn't like me Yep, can't be around anymore Anyway, future faking So they'll talk about holidays moving in Marriage, babies, all kinds of one-day scenarios But their present behavior doesn't align with those visions In essence, it's a promise of potential
9:08With no genuine intention behind us Now there you go This is what I mean So you could be like, hey This is what I'm looking for And the other person can go cool I'm down with that Or no, I'm not Or I could be like, man Can't wait for you to meet my nana Right after you smash Oh, no Then I'm gonna meet you, nana That's the first thing I think of right after I smash is nana But you know what I mean? And then it's like, oh, you really likes me And then the next time it's, my mom would love you But you're like, yeah, you're never gonna be here You know, because if you say things like that Then that makes you a bad person Yeah, in my experience, like when guys say things like that And they do often, they're always like the first to say stuff like that But they don't hold as much weight as like women do And I'm, yes, I'm speaking generally But just in my experience Like it'll be like, you know, if we did this Or that in the future, but then it's like There's no real like thought or planning behind it Yeah, see But if you're doing that To make someone happy so they give you what you want Now you're manipulative and you're being dishonest Yes
10:08But if I just tell you what I want Then that couldn't come off as like gross or disgusting So it's like, all right So yeah, just that single So I do nothing So I just do nothing Right, exactly No, I could pay One day the door to Asperce is gonna knock on my door And my taco bell is gonna be like you You're the one moving right now Bring in your stuff Exima is unpredictable But you can flare less with eggless A once monthly treatment for moderate to superior exima After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase About four and ten people taking eggless Achieved itch relief and glare are almost glare skin at 16 weeks And most of those people maintain skin that's still more glare at one year Play dosing Hemgless, LibriKizumab, LBKZ A 250mg per 2mg leador injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds Or 40kg with moderate to severe exima Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin Or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies Hemgless can be used with or without topical corticosteroids Don't use if you're allergic to hemgless
