Do people really have a dating 'type' and how common is it?
Do I want to ride the moustache? Not necessarily, but I find it really impressive.
Everybody has a subconscious and conscious type, but I think you need to still be open.
Why was it Shego from Kim Possible?
Like, why would I a worm? And then you have to ask the question, who's allowed to do it? Can the girlie say that they only date guys over six foot, but then you call guys who only date blondes shallow?
It's the ideas of a successful relationship, and why do they have a shell necklace?
Am I putting myself in a situation where my type is not only physically attractive, but actively bad for me? It's always that deep.
Hi, I'm Dee Salmon and normally I am sitting, if you are watching this right now on YouTube and Spotify, normally I'm sitting across from Pip who is the co-host of The Hookup where we talk all things love, sex, dating and relationships. But Pip, very, very lucky blessed girl is probably signing her hole right now in, I want to say Croatia. I think Croatia, I should be a better friend. I should know exactly where she is right now, but I think she's in Croatia. Yes. So I am really lucky to be sitting across from Miss Lauren French, who you, if you have listened to The Hookup for years now, you would know really well. She's always our go-to expert on a Thursday episode. But yeah, really excited to have you in the studio today, Lauren.
For anyone who doesn't know who you are, do you want to introduce yourself a little bit?
Of course. Hi, hello. Lovely to be here. Yes, I am Lauren French. My pronouns are she, her. I am a sexologist and sexuality educator. I'm a proud Garajara woman. I'm from up north in the NT. I've been down here in the freezing cold today. Very jealous of Pip sunning the hole at the moment. That's not what we're doing. We're frosting holes.
Literally. I think it's 11 degrees max today, which, yeah, I don't know where you're listening from, but I hope it's not that cold.
I hope it's not. So I am a sexologist. I work clinically at an amazing service here in Melbourne in Brunswick East. I have worked in the space of like sexual violence for the past eight years in preventative spaces and in education for the past eight years. So I love talking about sex and relationships, which is why I think we're such good friends.
I know. And because you are just so brilliant at it. I also want to introduce you right now as well to the producer that will be working on the hookup for the next six weeks, who I think people and I have mentioned quite a bit already. Camille Allen. Camille, just come say hi quickly. Show your face.
Hello.
I've been reading all your DMs. Yeah, she's on Instagram, so she'll be replying to you. But you're going to hear from Camille over the next six weeks as well. So I just wanted to let her be able to say hi to you.
Hello. I'm so grateful to be here. I've been eating stale sushi for the last three days.
So I'm so happy to have a job. She's happy to have some income coming in. No, she's brilliant. Camille is also brilliant and going through a really hard time right now in a breakup. So there's going to be a lot of content that she's going to give to the show.
I did.
Coming back in. So if you have been listening for the last couple of weeks, I did produce the When Will He Say I Love You episode. He said I love you and then he broke up about two weeks later. Yeah, good, good. Lots of content. So I'm like, watch this space. We're going to have to do a breakup episode. We will get to the breakup episode, but today we are going to be talking about types. do we have types in dating and sex and relationships and what are the different things that people are looking for in their quote unquote type is it personality looks maybe lifestyle careers are they a little bit just like your dad um We want to explore if they're unconscious or they're conscious. You're making like an absolute conscious decision.
Maybe you're swiping on the apps and you're like only over six foot. And yeah, whether or not it can ever be problematic. If having a certain type that you go for is something that, yeah, is a bit of a red flag.
