Can You Date Outside Your Socioeconomic Status? ft. Dr. Jaimie Glick
On today’s Friday Feels episode of U Up?, Jared and Jordana are joined by special guest Dr. Jaimie Glick, who shares the jaw-dropping story of her recent relationship that unraveled in the most modern, maddening way. Not because of lack of chemistry, but because she was too successful! Dr. Jaimie takes us from the spark of a rom-com-worthy meet-cute to a slow-burn realization that her partner might be dodging dinner dates and subtly relying on her to foot the bill. From intermittent fasting excuses to rent-controlled revelations and the infamous "solace in the philosophy" text, this is a story about money, pride, vulnerability, and the weird ways ambition can complicate connection. Jared and Jordana unpack the red flags and ask the big question: when is it okay to support your partner financially? Can transparency about money actually build intimacy? Or does success just intimidate the wrong people? Tune in for a hilarious, emotional, and thought-provoking look at modern dating, self-worth, and how sometimes the person who says they’re proud of you just can’t keep up.

How To Ask Your Friends To Set You Up
J&J are back with a fresh batch of dating dilemmas! First, Jordana’s journey into puppy parenthood has her seeing dog owners in a whole new light! But when a listener’s date casually mentions feeding their dog human food and giving it steroids, is that just a quirky habit or a major red flag? Jared and Jordana break down what pet parenting says about a person (and their dating potential).
Then, they tackle a frustrating situation: What do you do when your friend hypes up a great guy but refuses to make the intro? They unpack the psychology behind "gatekeeping" in dating, why some people hesitate to set up their friends, and whether this guy is even interested or just a fantasy. Jared tells us how to ask your friends to set you up!! Plus, a wild dating scenario involving a guy who refuses to give oral (and thinks that’s normal?!) and another where a date finds their own dad’s headshot saved in someone’s phone. Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and some very strong opinions.
