Chapter 3: What are the challenges of modern dating apps according to Daniel Foxx?
Oh, okay.
And they're just joining in.
Yeah, yeah.
And they'll be like, you're trying to tell a story and they're like, no, wow, no way. Then what? And you're like, you're ruining this, but I can't stop you because then everyone will think I'm so horrible.
Can I admit something? Yeah. When I saw your show, it's called How Lovely at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I was that person, but I held back because I was like, your stories were so relatable. Everything you were saying was like, I've been there. Like, I know this. I've had friends go through it.
And you'd say something and I would go, oh, and I'd be like, don't say it too loud, though, because I don't want to interrupt the flow.
I take it all back. I love it when people do it.
But like, you want people like doing that. Because you take people along the journey, which is beautiful.

Chapter 4: How does Daniel Foxx view the impact of rom-coms on relationships?
For anyone who doesn't know about it, you know, you sort of said, like, you kind of structured it around the rom-com. Could you start off by being like, rom-coms have fucked my view of love?
Yeah. Well, I think, like... And I sort of say in the show a bit, but I think some people are really sniffy about rom-coms and will be like, rom-coms are just chick flicks. And they think of it as a lowbrow thing. But really, it is just... narrative about relationships, right? And it's like, where do we get our concept of what love is?
The modern idea of love as being like, you have one person and they provide everything for you is from rom-coms and like movies and romantic books and stuff. So it's kind of that thing of like the expectation that was set up
what a relationship will provide and how it will go is like not what most of us actually get yeah and i just went through like the biggest breakup of my life after like a six-year relationship ending about a year ago and having to kind of re-emerge into my 30s now and be like what does dating look like now both in 2026 but also as a 30 year old yeah Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Diabolical.
It's changed a lot.
Yeah. And the people that are in relationships, I think dating has changed since lockdown and like 2020.
Yes.

Chapter 5: What insights does Daniel Foxx share about navigating breakups?
Well, that's what I was going to ask you about. So you've had like, what, say a year or so back into dating apps?
A year and a half of being back on the dating apps.
Yeah. So we had the horrendous breakup.
Yeah.
Your life has shifted. It's post-COVID. What is it like for you right now on the apps? Like, tell me about it. Because Dee and I were talking about this and we were like... You know, we haven't been on the apps, like I haven't been on the apps for basically like a year and a bit, like basically a year. And before that, embarrassingly, I put into it, because I had a massive breakup too, right?
I had like a five, six year relationship, was literally just like ended that. And then I was like, time to figure out myself and like what's going on out there as well.
Were you like regularly dating during that period of actually trying?
Yeah. But it's different, though, because I feel like as a woman, there's a different experience compared to, especially as a gay man.
I mean, that is a uniquely bleak thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've got the hottest female friends that can't get first dates in the UK. I don't know. It's so rare to match with someone now. for me and for like a lot of people I'm talking to where you even want to go on the first date. And I don't know if it's that we've all got more picky or if they, I think, okay.

Chapter 6: How does Daniel Foxx describe his experiences with heckling?
And like, it's just this. And then I think the social thing has changed. And I'm in my 30s, which means that it's like you are dealing with like the crumbs of who's left.
Yeah, there's a few things happening. Hey, it's all of that. It's you also having like the app burnout as well and being more guarded with your feelings and you're being more picky because of those experiences. So then it's like this secular thing.
And I am not willing now to meet someone who is not funny.
Right.
And I'm not willing to meet someone who's bad at the dating app or texting bit.
Yeah.
Like I had a friend recently who was like, oh, but you know, my boyfriend, Charlie, anonymous, My boyfriend, Charlie, he was really bad on the dating apps. He was just like one sentence at a time. But when we met up, it turned out he was just bad at phones. And I really liked him in real life. So you should just meet them and see. And I'm like, no. I don't want someone that's bad at texting.
I love when someone's good at texting. Nothing's more fun than being like out and about and having like a little guy in your pocket to be like, and I have a funny little thing. If they're a Neanderthal on the text, fuck off.
Yeah.

Chapter 7: What unique perspectives does Daniel Foxx offer on kinks and fantasies?
isn't that the fuck thing isn't it it's like i have a a standard or an expectation and this is where i'm at and this is great and it's good that you know that about yourself and then there are the people who are saying like but you know i gave this person a chance and now they're like they're loving my life and you're literally like where do you draw that line it is so hard and it's so hard when it's like again in the modern day there's so much like we're so used to texting and our voice noting is the thing oh my god
We voice noted before we came here.
I was about to say we've started voice noting this morning. It's getting serious. We're going steady. But like you get to... I recently had a guy break things off with me after like three months. And we'd only been on like a handful of dates because I've been touring. So I'm like not around a lot. But like... But...
we were voice noting and like video messaging and video calling every day so intimate all throughout the day yeah and it's so weird to then like end and it was not official or anything like that and it's fine but like it's weird to then because you're telling friends about it and they're like oh but it was only like a handful of days like four days whatever and you're like
Yeah, but like the equivalent of four dates now is not the equivalent of our parents' four dates. So true. Their four dates, they only knew four dates worth of information about each other. Yeah. So they're like just getting on to like, what's your favorite color or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whereas like four dates across several months of voice noting and all that stuff, it's this weird middle ground where it's like, yeah, of course you don't know them that well because you've not physically met that many times.
Yeah.
But at the same time, you know so much about them. Yeah. We were like, well, I know what your sister felt about her first marriage or like whatever. You have all this intimacy with them. It's a really bizarre time that we live in.
And I think what you said before as well about the way that these dating apps kind of have locked down on things and they've gotten people used to their services, I guess. Yeah. It kind of reminds me of like AI, right? Yeah. So right now AI is like largely free. Like you don't need to pay for it. You can get a premium version, but you don't need to pay for it.

Chapter 8: How does Daniel Foxx suggest handling difficult family dynamics?
Like, yeah, I'm trying to, I'm joining some, like, little groups and, like, little clubs and stuff. And I'm going to start, like, joining, like, a tennis social and stuff to just, like, try and meet people normally.
Yeah. And get maybe a hobby out of it too. Yeah, maybe get a hobby out of it too.
Who cares about that?
Who cares about that? We just want to meet the hot tennis boys. When you meet people and you're dating, do you tell them that you're a comedian? Because I feel like you probably don't want to say anything, right?
No.
People go weird about it.
It is gross as well. On both sides, I know some people who straight up are like, I'm a comedian. Or they have it on their actual bio and I just think of it like... And also, like, you don't, what, you want to, like, get people immediately to go and search you on Google and watch a clip of you? Oh, my God.
But also, like, I don't want them having assumptions or knowing things about me more than I know about them before we go on a date. So, like, I don't want them to go and see what I'm saying. And also, what I'm saying on stage is me, like, class clowning it. Yeah. And it's, like, a version of me.
Totally.
