Girls on Guys is a dating and relationship horror stories podcast hosted by comedians Nina Tarr and Liam Cullagh. Each episode features a different broad aka female guest, who does their best to steer Liam away from the embarrassing mistakes he (and most men) make by sharing their own strange encounters with the male species.
This week, Nina and Liam are joined by comedian Tori Piskin to discuss a tale about hooking up with a guy named DJ CougarSkin… yikes. The group also talks about the manic-pixie dream girl illusion and dating for stability or dating for passion. How to compliment women and avoid giving a backhanded compliment. The things we put up with for hot people. What’s the protocol for dating multiple people at once? Does negging work? Are men “stupid intuitive”? Are women confidently bad drivers?
