Dating While Fat!

Thoughts on navigating apps, first dates, and men with fishing pictures, because you're a damn snack!
41

Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark! This month we’re talking about… dating while fat!

This is a topic many of you have requested, and sent in questions about—so our resident dating expert (Corinne) finally answers them all! We also share a lot of amazing listener-submitted advice. We’ll get into how to talk about fatness on your profile, how to evaluate other profiles for coded anti-fatness, Corinne’s rules for first dates, and the whole…straight cis man problem.

Today’s episode also features the launch of our new Burnt Toast theme song by the one and only Farideh! So even if you’re usually a reader of transcripts, give us a listen this week. Farideh is awesome and wrote this song just for us. It’s a banger!

To listen to the full episode and read the full transcript, you’ll need to join Extra Butter, our premium subscription tier.

Extra Butter costs just $99 per year. If you are current paid subscriber, the remaining value of your subscription will be deducted from that total.

In these monthly episodes we get into the GOOD stuff like:
Why all the fat influencers are getting skinny
Is Kids Eat In Color anti-diet?
And did Virginia really get divorced over butter?
Extra Butters also get a comp to Cult of Perfect, exclusive chats and DMS, and dedicated Friday Threads.
And Extra Butter ensures that the Burnt Toast community can always stay an ad- and sponsor-free space—which is crucial for body liberation journalism. Join us here!

PS. If Extra Butter isn’t the right tier for you, remember that you still get access behind almost every other paywall with a regular paid subscription.

I’m so nervous about our topic for today.

There’s nothing to be nervous about. We’re going to talk about dating. And just to be clear, both of us are single. Slide into our DMs.
