The Break-Up Diet
Why Am I Single? Because I Have Standards!
Have you ever felt the sting of being asked, "Why are you single?" You're not alone. In this episode, we unravel the societal pressures surrounding singlehood and confront the uncomfortable questions that come with it. Together, we share personal experiences and frustrations about the seemingly innocuous yet patronizing inquiries that many face daily.
The discussion dives into the notion of being "too picky"—a phrase that often leaves individuals feeling judged for having standards. We seek to debunk myths surrounding relationships and single status, illuminating the difference between self-value and societal expectations. Through engaging conversation, we explore the importance of discerning selection in partners, asking whether these “helpful” comments can sometimes do more harm than good.
Listeners will find refreshing insights into navigating dating life while maintaining personal integrity, as we share laughs and relatable stories about the complexities of entering the dating scene. Whether you're currently single, dating, or simply want to connect more meaningfully with those around you, this lively discussion is guaranteed to resonate. We encourage everyone to reflect on their own experiences and redefine the narrative around singlehood. Join us, share your insights, and let's break the stigma together!

Oh my gosh. I am so passionate about this episode because I feel like I am such a target to society, because I am single.
ILMZ:The patronizing questions I get asked yes, no, I know, I was single for a long time, my whole teenage years, and, like yeah, your early 20s basically.
YAZ:So I know I'm very familiar with what it's so patronizing. It's so condescending People talk to you as if you've got a disability.
ILMZ:Yeah, like why haven't you found someone? It makes you feel like you're not. Good enough yeah.
YAZ:Yeah, but then I just want to retaliate and be like why are you with a loser man?
ILMZ:Buckle up, bitches, bitches. It's gonna get bumpy. This is the breakup diet.
YAZ:I'd rather have people ask me oh, why are you single then? Oh, why is she with this loser guy?
ILMZ:yeah, but that's you now but I feel, like a few years ago. You might not have the same thing yeah, because for me before I was in a relationship. If, like, I would have taken those comments way more personally than that, like I wouldn't be thinking oh, I would be thinking in my head oh, but I don't want to be with that guy anyway, but it would still hurt, like those comments, it doesn't hurt, but after you get everybody saying the same thing all the time, you start to be like, yeah, what?
YAZ:is wrong. Is there something wrong with me? Why can't I keep a man?
ILMZ:Yeah, why can't I even keep the douchebag man?
YAZ:Yeah, the one that no one wants why can't I keep him?
ILMZ:Yeah, why is he playing me?
YAZ:Yeah, why is he?
ILMZ:dumping me.
YAZ:What are some annoying things that you've heard that people say to you oh, you know, I'm can't lie there's a list written.
ILMZ:There is a long list I. This shouldn't be, but it is. Annoying is when somebody's like why are you single?
YAZ:I don't know I'm single because I'm actually just so perfect and no one's good enough yeah, like you tell me, like yeah it shouldn't be annoying, it should be a nice.
ILMZ:Well, not nice, but it should just be a question.
YAZ:But that is annoying, it's annoying and it's hard because it's like one of the first topic of conversations when you meet someone new.
ILMZ:I feel like relationships come up almost straight away in most scenarios. And yeah, if you're always repeating being like I'm single and they're like, oh no, why or how come, you're like, after the 10th time of saying it, maybe that week, you're like, oh, my god, like I don't know an annoying thing I think would be and somebody's like, yeah, but you're too picky. What am I not meant?
YAZ:to have standards. God forbid, I don't want to be with any bum. Yeah, god forbid, just because you can.
ILMZ:Just because your husband's a bum or your boyfriend's a bum.
YAZ:Just because you're able to have that doesn't mean I want it. Yeah, If you feel like you've won cool Something else.
ILMZ:that's super annoying if somebody says so okay, so why are you single? You're too picky.
YAZ:Or when they go. You'll find someone when you stop looking.
ILMZ:Oh, shut up, Shut up, you were looking, you were looking.
YAZ:And you found it, so why can't I?
ILMZ:look yeah, and everyone's like when you're not looking. How else are you meant to find someone if you're not looking? Yeah, you're meant to just be like going about your day and stuff and he just falls to the ground. Yeah, but to be honest, if I like didn't have a boyfriend, right, and I was just not looking, I don't leave my house. Same, you know. Same I have to go out.
YAZ:I'd have to go out and to go out, you're looking, yeah so even if you're going out with your friends, you're looking you are, you know, you are like, I am for sure, whenever we're out. Yes, I have no intention to like get with anyone, but I'm like sussing the territory.
ILMZ:Yeah, you gotta, you gotta see I'm looking, you're looking, you gotta, you gotta see the surroundings exactly. You know, what I find annoying is when relatives and like family friends always ask and I don't think it's being nice like, oh, have you, do you have a boyfriend yet? Or have you found anyone? Or um, how's your dating life going? Like, like, fine, like, if I have something and I want to tell you, I'll tell you.
ILMZ:Yeah, if not, just assume I'm too sexy to be with anyone I don't know oh mum, I was thinking about it Like I know that relationships always come up, so people are always asking about other people's. You know relationships and what they're doing and all that. I get that, but why do you think people feel the need to comment on someone's like status or like really invest themselves in knowing?
YAZ:I don't understand it either. I just think it's really nosy and unnecessary, like but then, to be fair, do you ask other people if they are? I think I do. I'm guilty, c same, I'm guilty Crap, I'm guilty. But I don't think I've ever been like how are you single? Why are you single? I don't think I've ever done that. Yeah, it's more like are you seeing anyone? Are you dating?
ILMZ:Yeah, yeah.
YAZ:I could never do that to someone. It's just mean.
ILMZ:Yeah, like why are you single? That just makes that person feel like I don't know. And so what are you meant to reply to that? What are you meant to reply to that?
YAZ:I ask you right now why are you single? Because I literally went through a divorce. Okay, you are a bit of an exception. I have an exception.
ILMZ:I thought you were going to say because I hate all men, but you didn't.
YAZ:To be honest, that I think that part. That's probably why I haven't found a second husband yet, because I hate old men, yeah.
ILMZ:Have you ever said something to a friend when you've been in a relationship like that was mildly insulting, that you can remember and you've been like shit. I wasn't meant to say that, or you know, if you have like word vomit.
YAZ:there are so many times, say, with people in relationships, in shitty relationships, I do get fed up quite easily and I go why are you with them? Yeah, like, if you're gonna waste this entire dinner bitching about your boyfriend, why are you with them? I feel like that's valid, though, if it's always, if they're always doing doing it if it's not like a one-time vent or something yeah, when it's constantly and that partner's proven to like treat them like badly yeah, yeah.
ILMZ:I said something awkward that I just remembered what, um, that person was cheating and I said like, oh yeah, but you would never go for that guy because he's a cheater or like he does that. And that person I know for a fact is a cheater so like I remember being like oh well, you shouldn't, but oh that's awkward.
ILMZ:Oh my god, you know what I mean, and then you're, but but like it's, uh, I don't know. Yeah, like that you have to like roll out of it and say something else that's awkward, but you shouldn't cheat.
YAZ:Stop Exactly, keep it in your pants. This was back when you were single. What's the worst thing someone said to you about your relationship status as a single person, say growing up.
ILMZ:I don't know, my only thing that really annoyed me or like was bad for me was just like when someone was like you'll find someone or like no nice guys. How did you respond to that? Like was bad for me was just like when someone was like you'll find someone or like um.
YAZ:How did you respond to that?
ILMZ:uh like thinking in my head when send them to me. I mean, give me a crystal ball, let me manifest it please you know, but I feel like if they haven't come yet, they're going to come, and then you'll got a good egg.
YAZ:I hope so, but I feel like there's a lot of rotten eggs in the market.
ILMZ:There are a lot of rotten eggs, but if you find a good egg, you got a good egg.
YAZ:Yeah, you keep them.
ILMZ:What do you think is worse If somebody says you're too picky, or if they're like?
YAZ:you'll find someone when you stop looking. Which comment to you personally is worse. I think the pickiness is really insulting. Yeah, I think it's so insulting because you're basically telling me I'm the problem that I god forbid I have standards. Yeah, god forbid that you're threatened by me having standards, that you have to make this dig at me for being picky, allegedly yeah, because also what you're just meant to go for, any riffraff like yeah, genuinely.
YAZ:I think now that I'm a bit older and more experienced, I am really snappy with that kind of conversation. I just go sorry.
ILMZ:I'm not desperate, that's why I'm not picky yeah, fair, but then somebody could also say it and not be meaning it. Yeah, it's like quite an easy cop out to be like you're too picky, like you know it's annoying, but then I'll just be like teach me your ways.
ILMZ:I say that it's annoying when you know when your parents are asking, when your, your parents, friends are asking, like if you have a boyfriend, if you have a girlfriend, whatever, what should they actually do? Because it is just a point of conversation and they're not meaning it, but it is so offensive to somebody in the wrong context and also, if you always hear that, it is at one point going to be embedded in your brain.
YAZ:Yeah, it'll just mess with my self-esteem. I don't need that.
ILMZ:But what should they actually say then? Because I don't think they're trying to be mean a lot of the time or anything, but what should they actually say then? Because they I don't think they're trying to be mean anything, but what is something they could say.
YAZ:I don't mind when people like are you seeing anyone, are you dating anyone? That is a normal question, yeah. But when I say no to that and people go, oh, you're probably being too picky. It's like that you don't like those comments afterwards should just be so non-existent so if somebody after well, they say, oh okay, that's it. And then they just end the conversation. Talk about something else. Do we have to sit and talk about men all the time? Not necessarily.
ILMZ:Men we're not talking about, don't go on a rant? Sorry not necessarily we're talking about just men, because you've been in a marriage and you've been single and you've been in a relationship obviously yeah is there anything that you thought was different about one?
YAZ:or the other. Um, I think you're definitely respected more when you have someone with you by your side why do you think that is? I have no idea, I don't get it, but single people are not respected as much as married people are married or like married and relationshipy but do you think that's just a personal thing, that that for you is?
ILMZ:you feel that in some way? And then it might be a personal reflection of just what I've experienced but or do you think it's because everyone is like so programmed into finding someone?
YAZ:I think so too. So because you're already with someone, they're like oh, she's good, what about that one? She's not with someone? Why, yeah, like, why is she not making the effort?
ILMZ:yeah and also I think it's so different between men and women because, like a man don't get that pressure no, isn't that weird? And that if a man is single, they people don't really care as much.
YAZ:Yeah, they'd be understanding.
ILMZ:Yeah, they'd be like, oh, he's building his career, you know, he's just not there yet what some things that you know will instantly turn a man off, so they'll they won't want to get into a relationship with you. So have you seen the movie how to lose guy in 10 days? Yeah, to be basically over keen, super clingy, all of the above have you ever um made a scrapbook of like a guy and printed out like your future?
YAZ:hell. No, I made a scrapbook for my best friends, but not like a guy, have you? No, oh my god, I wouldn't. Would people even do that?
ILMZ:make like a little pinterest board. I mean, it was in the movie. Have you ever been in love, right, and then looked up wedding, really, oh, you got married yeah, have you, yeah, have you.
YAZ:Do you have like a dream wedding in mind? No, I haven't got. I have a dream ring in mind?
ILMZ:yeah, very big rock. No joking, I'm not minimum five carat minimum no, but I have, I have. I've not like consciously looked it up, but tiktok listens to you it does what you secretly want and it's come up on before you. And then I've been like oh, that's nice, all right.
YAZ:So we're gonna see a five carat oval cut ring on your tiktok.
ILMZ:Yeah, very soon, but I I don't have an ideal wedding, but I want to do a destination, oh my god of course I don't want a big wedding though. Yeah, max like like 20 to 50 people, really small, small. Oh that's amazing In like Hawaii.
YAZ:Please, that would be amazing. Are single people allowed?
ILMZ:Yeah, did you have a single table at your wedding?
YAZ:No, I don't think so, because that's a thing, yeah, and it's always next to the kids, always next to the kids' table.
ILMZ:It's very insulting but do you think that is a nice thing that the married people are doing like putting all the singles in being like this is the jungle, welcome here you go. Find each other, yeah, or is it kind of insulting, like, do you really need them to do that? You?
YAZ:know I think it'd be fun Because you'd be like forced to meet new people. It could be fun.
ILMZ:But then are you going to get embarrassed because everybody knows like that's the whole single table.
YAZ:Yeah, that would be embarrassing, but the idea of being sat with other single people that you know who are definitely single, I quite like that.
ILMZ:Yeah, yeah Just don't call it a single table, yeah, but why is there so much shame over it? I don't get it. There's nothing wrong with us there, isn't there, literally isn't. There's nothing wrong with me? No, nothing. But there's the the difference in being like single in a relationship.
YAZ:I don't even think, unless you're a simp and you totally change into because, like, if we look at you and I, I don't see you any different as someone in the relationship, if that makes sense. Yeah, you're not like so wrapped up and simpy and just living under your boyfriend's shadow. You're still your own independent person. So I don't see how we're so different, how we're made to feel like we're so different, because I'm single and you're still your own independent person. So I don't see how we're so different, how we're made to feel like we're so different because I'm single and you're not yeah, but I, yeah, we don't think so.
ILMZ:But there definitely is to feel, I don't know. I think there's the shame that goes with it.
YAZ:That's why which it shouldn't be because you just haven't found your- person, which is hard, yeah, but there is a shame feeling that comes from it yeah, I don't like it, like I feel that, because it's like I wonder if people think oh, she couldn't keep her man, she couldn't keep her heart spurned, or yeah, you see, I've never thought that when I've seen you.
ILMZ:Yeah, like that. Yeah, it's all in your head, isn't it?
YAZ:it's literally all in your head crazy. So maybe we're like our worst enemies. Maybe everyone else is just being super nice and genuine when they say, oh, you'll find someone yeah, they could be, but they could also be like a little cut too, I feel yeah, like really catty.
ILMZ:Yeah, people can be so catty about it or I hate it when people like look, there's a type of look that some girls I specifically know with girls and be like oh really, man, look you like you know like you're not interested in finding someone oh, everyone has needs. That is annoying thing, and also gross.
YAZ:So gross it's like, no, I'm not gonna be with someone because of needs yeah ew like keep it in your pants, yeah keep that in your head, yeah, literally can we play a game? Yeah, another round of truth or myth. Single people edition. Okay, do you think it's easier to find love when you're younger?
ILMZ:yes, truth or?
YAZ:myth truth yeah, because your front lobe hasn't developed.
ILMZ:But yeah, but also, I feel like because it's scary. That's why it's so scary, because you don't want to waste your own time, also when you're younger. But then there's so many, there's a bigger pool because people get married, people move there might have been a potential people I don't know how things happen and then it gets smaller and smaller 100.
YAZ:I feel like there's already a small amount of like good decent crazy because we're like, because of social media, we're more connected with people than ever in this world.
ILMZ:You know we've got more access to people, yet the pond is getting murkier you know, what I find really weird is that I know a lot of single girls, same Everything going for them, but they don't have anyone right. But then the guy that I wouldn't necessarily say that, or like lots of men that I wouldn't necessarily say that, have relationships.
YAZ:I don't get it either. Is it because women, um, is it because men are intimidated by like gorgeous, smart, independent women, and that's why they're still?
ILMZ:single. I was gonna say, is it because women put up with way more shit?
YAZ:oh, that we do.
ILMZ:women put up way too much Like they're like, oh, he does this and he does this, but he cheats on me, but it's fine, because he does everything else.
YAZ:Women need more shame. Oh, it's like triggering, because I've got so many friends that put up with the worst men, yet I'm the one that's got the problem. For being single yeah, not them. For having low self-esteem yeah, but it's me. Yeah, I can't deal with it anymore.
ILMZ:And if you're so, you're single right, Mm-hmm. And you're, do you go on dates?
YAZ:I haven't in a while I know I need to.
ILMZ:Something that I find really frustrating is that you're going on these dates right and nothing's quite landing, like the guy in the meeting, he's okay, but you have to keep going on these first dates and recycling the same kind of topics like what do you do?
YAZ:oh, I don't think you know it's boring. Yeah, it's like a first round interview over and over again, yeah, and it's just like an endless loop. You just feel like all the dates are the same. They all mission to one.
ILMZ:Yeah, they literally do yeah hard to make a standout. So what's something that you would say or do to stand out in your dates? Because guys probably think the same thing, not when they mean me.
YAZ:Yeah, okay, actually give people good advice okay um, I think the way honestly I stand out is just the shit that I've been through, like I feel like you won't forget that divorced, 20-something year old, you know. So I think I kind of have that as my little like selling point, unique selling point.
ILMZ:Yeah, I was going to say unique selling point.
YAZ:Oh, I don't know what I'm selling.
ILMZ:Yeah, myself my personality.
YAZ:I think it might just be me being really outrageous and blunt.
ILMZ:That kind of is my how do you stop people going on these boring dates like, how are you gonna keep it?
YAZ:I'm scared to jump back in like I know I need to find someone you like. Everyone needs like a little partnership. It's nice to have someone to rely on. I know I need that. I just it's the repetitiveness of the first date that I'm really dreading yeah, what do you prefer to do on a first date?
ILMZ:would you prefer to go for drinks, or would you prefer to go for dinner, or what's going on?
YAZ:okay, it's crazy because back in the day I used to be like dinner minimum. I have to like be treated well, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm like I don't know if I could sit through an entire three-course meal with someone that I haven't met before. Yeah, it's a lot but then I don't want to do drinks because I don't want them to think that I'm like just this easy, cheap, like drinks girl, and I don't really drink that much anyway.
ILMZ:What about like coffee day but coffee day isn't sexy, it's like I don't think it's, I get where they're going with them. Lots of guys ask that first, but I just don't think.
YAZ:I don't think it's the one I don't think it's the one either. Like a coffee date, I'll get this a walking date I've never, ever.
ILMZ:That just shouldn't be a day.
YAZ:No, that's not a day 100, unless it's covid.
ILMZ:That's not a day like. That's the only time I'd say that that was acceptable yeah, no, disgusting right.
YAZ:So I'm just in like a bit of a conundrum where it's like okay, a walking date in my neighborhood, easy, quick, one hour, get the date done. But then at the same time I don't want them to think that I'm low maintenance because I'm not no, no, I get you, but also a walking, that's. No Disgusting.
ILMZ:Guys, you need to Level it the fuck up. If you're taking a girl out, you need to take her to a dark, sexy restaurant. Not party, but like dark, moody kind of lighting. Romantic restaurant with like candlelight all that you need to have, like date spots, good date spots, oh I have an idea go on, okay. Castle cruise, notting hill, love castle cruise. That was my first date spot.
YAZ:Love um mandrake hotel, kind of party though, but kind of sexy drinks, vibes, yeah, where else.
ILMZ:I feel like in london nodding hill is a good one because it's kind of it's not, it's cutesy it's cutesy, but it's not too aggressive like soho. Yeah, yeah, I also feel like gold in nodding hill would be a good day.
YAZ:Yeah, gold is gorgeous I do really like like a rooftop drink at night yeah, yeah, that is cute. Yeah, like drinks at the Shard, I do love that in the evening, watching the sunset. I've never done that. Well, let me take you, if your boyfriend doesn't mind. Hope I've got your blessing. You can spoil me a little.
ILMZ:Okay, I am ready to. What are you wearing on a first?
YAZ:date. I always wear something high neck, modest-ish. I don't want to like show them everything at once.
ILMZ:Are you wearing trousers skirt? Are you wearing what your go-to more? Are you wearing heels?
YAZ:Heels definitely Like kitten heels, bare minimum and, I think, a skirt.
ILMZ:I haven't really done trousers before unless it was like really cold yeah, yeah, I think I'm always wearing a skirt or something on a day yeah, because you feel very girly, but that's just I want to feel feminine and pretty, yeah, yeah, I just want to feel sexy. Yeah, but not too sexy like you have it, but you're not showing it. There's a balance to it there's a balance. Are you wearing lots of makeup or not?
YAZ:really, no, no what did you wear to your first date with your boyfriend?
ILMZ:okay, so I wore all black, yeah, so I had a black skirt on, not too short, I think. It was like to like just not the knee, but like in between the knee and the naughty area, the perfect balance, the perfect balance, yeah, the perfect balance. And then with um tights like the quite sheer tights um black blazer halter, neck, backless top. But you couldn't tell unless I took off my blazer and then red, high knee, high boots oh my god, that's a sexy look that is a vibe, and then I had like eyeliner but not lip gloss, that kind of vibe.
ILMZ:So they balance a bit more ties in the look together. I love it and then I always had my hair down on the first day same.
YAZ:I don't know why I feel very vulnerable with my hair up actually I feel more feminine when I have like all this, just yeah everywhere, yeah, yeah.
ILMZ:And then you know why I wore red. Why? Because apparently, red is like if you have something red on a date, even even if your lipstick is a bit of a tone of red or I don't know, it's meant to attract the other person.
YAZ:Yeah, yeah, I've heard about that, the red nail theory. That is such a, it's true, you see.
ILMZ:I don't like red nails on me, I feel like an actual whore.
YAZ:It would look good on you. I'm not going to lie, I feel like an actual. Like a wine red would look sexy on you. No, no, no, no, I feel like a. No, I'm not kidding, try it I have I felt raunchy.
ILMZ:I'm not even kidding it's the weirdest thing.
YAZ:Yeah, it is a very bold color I'm always like am I giving hookah?
ILMZ:yeah, even though I like red but. I just didn't like it. On me, no, it's sexy anyway, I know that that works. A red theory, because to this day he has, he remembers my red boots. Oh so then, when I got up for the bathroom, I had these, so that answers the question.
YAZ:that's how you stand out on dates. Wear something red. Yeah, a little hint of red. Amazing, could it be a bag?
ILMZ:Yeah, I think so.
YAZ:Okay, yeah.
ILMZ:So a hint of red. I love that All black, all black, hint of red. Actually, I could give you coaching tips.
YAZ:I don't feel like I'm not gonna be honest, please. Okay, this is so much more productive than being asked oh, why are you single? I like this. Okay, tell me, tell me, tell me, I'm ready.
ILMZ:Coaching tips yes god, eye contact, but not in a creepy stalker way like this. You know you gotta give like a more like. Okay, I got it ready, you're gonna do like a little like look down, smile look up. You know you gotta give like a more, like okay, I got it ready. You're gonna do like a little like look down, smile, look up, you know I have a lazy eye.
ILMZ:My left eye is gonna dart in a different direction that's why you go to a dark restaurant so they don't see my lazy eye also, I would turn up, maybe not too late, because it's rude if you're too late, but you don't want to be the first one there and you don't want to I'd oh yikes, I show up five minutes before to get the table no, that's his job. I will program into my day 10 minutes, which I'm never late yeah, but I'm not late, because I've done it on purpose, you know, so that they're waiting.
ILMZ:They're sweating a bit, you know, and then you come in.
YAZ:They're sweating a bit, you know, and then you come in, they're already sat at the table and you're like hi, I'm so sorry, like a little late you know, I like, but not too late, too late's rude too late is so rude, but yeah, 10 minutes, okay, I can do that instead of getting that early yeah, you know, don't get there early, okay, eye contact 10 minutes sleep, something red something red.
ILMZ:Um, ask lots of questions, okay, you know, and when they're obviously this goes in eye contact. But when they're telling you you've got to be enthusiastic, even if you think it's the most boring shit ever how do you fake it? Because you can like my expressions, will say it you've got to get more botox and then just like numb the muscle no, I've paralyzed my face as it is from turkey.
YAZ:How much more I feel like I feel like you got this. You just gotta, you just gotta smile and smile okay um, what if, on my first date back in the scene, could you be there? I'm being dead serious. Yes, I am so nervous I'm not even talking to anyone, but the idea is really daunting. I feel like you need a pep talk.
ILMZ:Before you go on it, you need to have one drink. I had two shots before I left, which is like a lot, but I felt I needed it. I was nervous. Maybe let's meet at a bar next door or something you and I but what is a fun question you could ask somebody that isn't just like what do you?
YAZ:do? What's your body count? Do you have any diseases?
ILMZ:Ew. Do not ask them what your body count is on your first date seriously, it's not bad. That's giving you want to have sex straight away. That's giving desperate energy. Oh really, if somebody asked me, if a guy asked me, what is your body count?
YAZ:on a first day, if a man asks me that I'd be like, oh, I'm leaving, I would never talk to that person ever again. Oh, ever again. No, no, no no, like.
ILMZ:And if a girl asks that number one, he's probably not going to tell you the truth, and if he's like, oh yeah.
YAZ:A hundred, I'd walk out, I'd walk. Anything over two, I'm walking out.
ILMZ:Yeah, so you're setting yourself up to fail. Don't listen to that. Definitely be like.
YAZ:How much money do you make? No, elma you already know, because you stalked their LinkedIn. Yes, but I just want to know for sure god, no, okay, we need bell okay, another unique question um they're all kind of boring to be honest. Yeah, I was gonna say what's your star sign, but I actually don't really know much about it.
ILMZ:We don't want to talk about that no, that's so boring also. You know what I find weird, have you? Committed a crime, I don't know, petty theft I don't know where you're finding these vets that you have to ask these questions curiosity sometimes the smoothest criminals look like the cleanest people yeah, that is true so you need question?
YAZ:you're not helping me. I'm finding you need questions, but they're not good. Yeah, I don't need help though no, I'm asking you to help me I know, but I have to think back.
ILMZ:I'm not in the moment. You've got to be in the moment. I just ask them a lot of questions, so I don't have to speak a lot same. I quite like that this is how it sounds like you're really interested. Even if you are interested when you're on a first date, you're nervous I'm nervous.
YAZ:I hate talking about myself.
ILMZ:You know what I find really awkward on the first day so this is really embarrassing. Actually, I have a really bad thing of when I get a bit nervous, I sweat on my face and I cannot control it. It's not my armpits, it's nothing else. Or if I get like not even nervous, just a bit flustered of some sort, I don't know why like a first date I'll get a solar.
ILMZ:I'm not even nervous just a bit flustered of some sort, I don't know why. Like at first date, I'll get a solar. I'm not even fucking with you.
YAZ:No way.
ILMZ:So now I've got good habits of having to. Yeah, they turn around. Why did you get on my shoulder? That's why you're going to wear black or something.
YAZ:Yeah, yeah, but then won't your foundation stand out?
ILMZ:No, I seem to be okay with that.
YAZ:Nice transfer-proof makeup. Come on, Fenty Beauty, I have a really bad story, though.
ILMZ:That is really embarrassing. Oh, my God, you have to tell me. So I went on my first date and I'm in the car. I call my friend on the way because I'm like talking about it, whatever. I'm like, oh, like, I met this guy out. Um, my friend had knew somebody who had dated him before they're not a close friend or anything, just like someone she knew.
ILMZ:And she was telling me t on the guy right, which is probably the worst thing you can do when you're on the in the car. It's too late, you're on the way, but she was telling me anyway. She told me something really rough, okay, no. No, I can't say what it was, but it was like something that I was like oh god, like this what am I?
ILMZ:walking into? What am I walking into? But it was too late. Odory said I was on the way. I already like committed I wasn't gonna. You know what I mean? I mean what happened anyway. So we go to this restaurant and I walk in and straight away I get this wave of being really hot.
YAZ:I'm like oh my God, oh my.
ILMZ:God, I start sweating Shit. I can feel it like a swimming pool on my face. I'm like, oh my God, oh my God, I'm going to have to go to the bathroom as soon as I get there. Like as in, I said hi and then I was like I could just feel that it was not going, and so I go to the bathroom. I'm like, oh my God, I need to fix this. There's like a hand towel Not hand towel, but like the napkin. Not napkin, so Blossing my face because I'm like.
ILMZ:I need to like you know, fix myself, chill out, calm, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe In the mirror like this, blowing my face. I like it starts like taking off my makeup a bit. I'm like it's fine, like, fix it, fix it. Blowing my face. Probably in there for like 10 minutes. When you first walk in, the lighting was quite dark in this bathroom. I walked out with bits of fucking like toilet paper low-key on my face, white bits, and I didn't notice. And then, like an hour later, I went to the bathroom again after I was fine and not having a sweat attack and I looked at myself and I had bits of like, basically toilet paper on my face for an hour oh my god, how embarrassing is that.
YAZ:Was it, did it?
ILMZ:It was very embarrassing.
YAZ:Was it chunky bits or like visible enough Visible?
ILMZ:enough. Oh, yes, the bathroom was like darker than in the restaurant.
YAZ:Oh, come on. The bathroom has to be lighter than the restaurant. What the hell yeah.
ILMZ:Anyway. So actually, if you hear something on the way, just don't go, Do yourself a favor, just turn around.
ILMZ:Just turn the car around, otherwise God will give you some signs, like I got a swear attack toilet paper on the face and a date where I had to do a duck and dive. What's your ideal date that you would be going on soon? Probably a nice restaurant. I can't lie. Yeah, but I'm talking about the man, not, oh, the fucking venue. So you're like, I want to eat. Um, give me some nice steak, yeah I just want someone that's interesting.
YAZ:You have good stories, I know, but it's hard to find someone within that level like our level I don't think you have to be matched, I know, but I just don't want to be bored. I'm obviously going to be the more interesting one.
ILMZ:It's hard when no, you're not, obviously they. You will find someone like that. I feel like sometimes you're going to probe them.
YAZ:Would you say I'd find them. If I'm not looking, you would find them if you're not looking, that's how you're gonna find them, so should we not look yeah? You look for me, I'll look for you, yeah oh my god, I'm just sorry you just met.
ILMZ:You figured something in me that I find so annoying girls that do this. You need to knock it out guys probably. I don't know if guys do this, but girls you need to knock it out. It is so annoying when somebody says, and they said this, somebody said this, when they're just like, but I'm just like a relationship girl, oh oh my god, I'm like you're a doormat. That's what I'm hearing no, no, no, I'm like. Thanks, I needed to know that. Cool. You've had more than one relationship cool you, you are.
YAZ:With some, you win all the boyfriends.
ILMZ:Well done, we had that the other day and for me you had a boyfriend. I was still triggered by it you know what I mean.
YAZ:An ally yes, it's the ally for single people.
