What’s the Best Age Gap in a Relationshi...

Dear Media
About this episode

Age gaps are on tap this week and we’re discussing it all — dating older, dating younger, pros and cons, power imbalances, sexual compatibility, and more. We share our (and our listeners’) experiences of dating with an age gap and what to look out for if you venture into this type of relationship. Before we get into it, we’re recapping Rayna’s Europe trip and wedding attire controversy, Ashley’s horny hibachi birthday, breaking rules at Sephora, and a serious manicure dilemma that needs to be discussed. Enjoy!
