I have girlfriends that are just saying the other day, they're like, I swear, you know, when they go on another bad date, they're like, I swear, if I just, like, moved to, like, a smaller town, like Baltimore or, like, whatever, like, I would just – I'd probably be married in, like, a year. The problem is New York and the sheer quantity, and quantity does not equate to quality.

So knowing you're going, now are you like, okay, I'm just not even going to get heavily involved with that anymore?

I don't really think that way. I just think like... Subconsciously? Subconsciously, from my perspective, it's like I have a good out. I always say on the podcast, beware of...

And then vacations, that gives, you know, adds air to the thing. You lose momentum. Momentum is a thing. That's why in the small town, I think momentum, and again, as I'm older, I know what I want.
