Brooke
Seek terms and conditions hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And yes, first we took over your for you page on TikTok. Then we took over the top comedy charts on Spotify. Next we're gonna take over the world. Oh how? Okay, no one's I don't feel like anyone's behind me it Once you take.
Jeffrey
Over the world, I don't think you have to go to work anymore.
Brooke
No.
Jeffrey
So it kind of would be helpful for everyone.
Brooke
Well, could you help us out? Follow the show Follow the show on this podcast over on our main feed Podcast as well. And hey, enjoy your second date.
Jeffrey
Second Date Update There's A lot of confusing information out there about how to attract a mate online. That's what the video says. How to catch your meat. Is that what you're Googling? Is that why you're. Maybe that's why. Information so bad.
Brooke
He printed out a how to sheet from Yahoo. Can you tell? It's right in front of it. I see.
Jeffrey
It's so conflicting, though. Like, it's like, be super clear with your intentions, but also be mysterious and coy. Make sure to be super funny and playful, but don't be jokey or they're going to think you're not serious.
Brooke
What doesn't make sense, Jeff?
Jeffrey
Show them who you really are. Even if you run a puppy mill, Let them know puppies. And one of our listeners listener says she got swept up in the confusion of how to maximize your dating profile. But in the end, I guess it turned out to be a good thing for her.
Brooke
Well, I don't know. She's on the phone with us, so.
Jeffrey
Let'S figure it out. Cynthia, welcome to the show. Tell us what happened.
Cynthia
Hi, guys. So good to be here.
Brooke
Well, that's good, Cynthia. Look at you trying extra hard again.
Jeffrey
Yeah. So what. What happened? How did you get swept up in the confusion of the online dating?
Cynthia
Well, Google is free, but it's a jungle, so.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Yeah.
Brooke
Wait, you ask Google for advice instead of, like, your friends?
Jeffrey
What should she ask her friends? Oh, no.
Brooke
I feel like you should run your profile by your friends and see what they think, if it's showing you in the best light or not.
Cynthia
Well, we get there eventually. So I'm looking up all these different ways on how I can get more matches with online dating. And some of the things I found were that if your profile picture has your hair out of your face, you're 27% more likely to get a match.
Brooke
Yeah, unless you have an ugly face. Sorry about her.
Jeffrey
Is that what the problem is? Cynthia, can you confirm that for Brooke over here? I shaved my hair and no one's matching.
Brooke
Did no one else think that? I didn't think that. I was thinking it was big on TikTok for all. They said guys like hair up more than down gets attention.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay, so 27 more likely if you have your hair up out of your face.
Cynthia
Right. And 76 more likely if you have a teeth smile. If you smile with your teeth, that's.
Jeffrey
Assuming you have all your teeth in there, right?
Brooke
I smile with my gums.
Jeffrey
That's only because your ratio.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Okay. Anything else?
Cynthia
This is one from my side that I Also find to be pretty true. If you're alone in your pictures, no friends, no one else in the photo, you're 60% more likely.
Brooke
More likely?
Jeffrey
There's been times where I'm swiping and I'm like, what girl is the girl? Because every picture. Yeah, that's part of the fun, Jose. It's like, oh, spin the wheel. Who am I gonna get?
Tim Allen
I think.
Brooke
Okay. Alone. It's not just all group is weird. Yeah. So wait, what'd you go with? Did you do some group, some solo? You do all one way?
Cynthia
Well, no, I did all just single photos of me because I find that when I'm swiping for guys, if I have to guess who you are in the photo, I'm not going to. I'm just going to swipe.
Jeffrey
Okay. So did you take all that advice?
Cynthia
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I tried it and I forgot. Nothing after a week. Nothing?
Brooke
Nothing, really?
Cynthia
I mean, you know, there were, like, weirdos, of course. Like, guys who weren't very interested.
Brooke
So what'd you change? What do you do to change your luck?
Jeffrey
Well, she couldn't change her face up, Brooke. Like, it's not very nice to tell her to get surgery before. Yeah, what'd you do? I don't know. Can we, like, move off of that and maybe get to. How did you change your dating profile? That's what I asked, Jackie.
Brooke
You asked.
Jeffrey
What did you change about yourself? It was the way you said it, Brock. We all knew. So what happened?
Cynthia
So I just ended up asking my friend what she thought of what I had uploaded.
Brooke
Okay, go.
Jeffrey
Wait, Baruch. Actually, that's exactly what you said.
Brooke
What'd your friend say?
Cynthia
She said I looked like a velociraptor.
Brooke
Were you baring your teeth or smiling?
Cynthia
She kept saying that I had such big teeth and that with my hair pulled back. Like, my forehead looked so big.
Brooke
How dare she? Are you mad or are you, like, I can see it?
Cynthia
I mean, I was humbled for sure.
Jeffrey
I'm trying to figure out who's meaner, your friend or Brooke.
Brooke
I would never say that to my friend.
Jeffrey
Not to their face.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Aaron
Oh, wow.
Jeffrey
Okay, so she gave you a few tips to change stuff.
Cynthia
That was kind of all she said. I guess her. Her tough love pushed me to kind of just go back to the drawing board and just go back to what I was already doing.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Okay. Her advice is just start looking for a dinosaur.
Brooke
Are we ever gonna get a date here? Are we? Like, what happened?
Cynthia
Well, so I ended up just posting what I felt was right for me.
Brooke
Good.
Cynthia
I ended up getting a date with this guy Aaron.
Brooke
Oh, kid.
Tim Allen
Oh, cool.
Jeffrey
Congrats.
Cynthia
Yeah, we ended up texting. We went out for like pizza and. And stuff. And it's funny because I told him about, you know, my experience with trying to update my profile, and that was kind of the topic of conversation for most of the night. We laughed about it and ended up taking pictures of each other, you know, in dinosaur poses.
Jeffrey
It was really.
Brooke
Oh, my God, I love it. See?
Jeffrey
Good sense of humor. Embrace it. And now you bond it. Although everybody else in the pizza parlor.
Brooke
Was like, what the heck is going on with that?
Jeffrey
They're in their own.
Brooke
Oh my God. Your pet name's for each other are already raptor. A little raptor.
Jeffrey
So what's happened since then?
Cynthia
I just. I haven't been able to hang out with him in like a month. That was like a month ago.
Brooke
And it sounds like you've been texting. It just hasn't lined up.
Cynthia
Yeah, your schedules haven't lined up. We haven't been able to find a good time. And I just. I don't know, I'm getting a little discouraged. I felt like, you know, we lost a bit of momentum and I was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice or help me out a little bit.
Brooke
Oh, gosh.
Jeffrey
Well, Brooke's going to tell you to change the way your voice sounds, so maybe they want to ask us for advice.
Brooke
I wasn't talking about her.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
You sound amazing, you sound fun. You sound funny and self deprecating.
Jeffrey
I know, but what about her? Brooke? I know me, but what about her? You know what? We're just going to call this guy Aaron for you when we come back and do your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update on the phone with us today.
Brooke
You are not playing this song.
Jeffrey
Is a woman who just updated her dining dating profile. The majestic Cynthiasaurus Rex.
Brooke
You know, though, I think there was a lot worse dinosaurs she could have been compared to.
Jeffrey
That's true. Okay, we're gonna call her C. Rex for short. Or maybe just Cynthia, which is her normal name. Her human name. But the reason why we're poking fun about it is because she found an article online with all these tips about what types of pictures you should take if you want to get better matches on dating sites. And she found some ideas where you're supposed to pull your hair back, show more teeth, that's supposed to get more guys to swipe on you. But after a week online with no Matches. Her friend told her the truth. The reason no guys are biting is because you look like a velociraptor. Yeah, it looks like you bite.
Brooke
But listen. The most ferocious of the dinosaurs. Yes, with a very muscular build.
Jeffrey
I don't know if that made it any better. It doesn't look like that normally. It's just with the new hair back do and the teeth baring poses, it came across dino like.
Brooke
Yeah, but she finally realized she just needed to be herself. That was the good part.
Jeffrey
But it ended up being the topic of conversation on her date with a guy named Aaron. They had a great time together. Problem is, that was a month ago. And now she needs our help to get things jump started once again. Brooke, I'm afraid to even go to you. Every time you say something, it comes out offensive. But what do you want to say to Cretaceous Cynthia over here?
Brooke
No, I think it's good, Cynthia, that you and him have been talking. You've been trying to get something nailed down. I know it feels like maybe the. What is it called? Momentum has. Momentum has dulled a little bit.
Jeffrey
That's exactly what she said at the end of last. Just repeating her.
Brooke
Listen, I just don't want you to come off as too needy, okay? You know, like. Like this is your only option. Because it's not. Right.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you're wanting.
Brooke
Oh, it might be our only option. We actually.
Jeffrey
No, but we don't want to. Cynthia, can you dial down the desperate, needy vibes that you're giving towards Brooke right now?
Cynthia
Oh, my gosh. No problem. I didn't. I don't mean to come off super needy. I just.
Brooke
I don't think you are. You know, don't bring up again the fact that you weren't getting a lot.
Jeffrey
Of matches, because that's what a needy person would do.
Brooke
Yeah, you want to make it sound like this last month has been so packed and. Oh, my God, I totally forgot to call you, so. No, I'm gonna have a radio station do it.
Jeffrey
Squeeze you in maybe.
Brooke
Yeah, exactly.
Jeffrey
I texted you 20 times by accident.
Brooke
If he. If he says yes to a date, maybe you tell him that you're maybe available. Oh, he doesn't know how to play.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it's been so long since Brooke has gone on to be a first date.
Brooke
It actually was the time of the dinosaurs. The last time I went on a first date.
Jeffrey
It's like, tell him you hate him.
Brooke
Yeah, I don't know. That would turn you on.
Jeffrey
Jose, we're gonna cut the advice segment of this short and Just call Aaron for you. How does that sound, T. Rex?
Brooke
Here we go.
Jeffrey
Here we go. Let's call.
Aaron
Hello. Thanks for calling. This is Aaron.
Brooke
Oh.
Jeffrey
Oh, did you run a business, Aaron? What a formal way to answer.
Brooke
Don't have to ask who it is.
Jeffrey
I was not expecting that. We're a radio show.
Brooke
And you're welcome for calling.
Jeffrey
Thanks for answering.
Aaron
A radio show?
Jeffrey
Yeah, we're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're doing a segment right now, hoping that you'll be a part of it. It's too late. You're already a part of it. So buckle up.
Brooke
Buckle up.
Aaron
What is this about?
Jeffrey
Perfect. This is about your dating life. Actually, about a month ago, I went out with one of our listeners named Cynthia.
Aaron
Cynthia?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Beer, I think.
Jeffrey
Wine.
Brooke
Wine. Pizza and wine.
Aaron
Yeah, I remember Cynthia. Oh, yeah, we. Yeah, we had a good time. That was a good date.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Oh, that's so great to hear. That's a good reaction. Nice to hear. Because we're all confused, and we're trying to help her figure out if there's a reason why you're not getting back to her and wanting to see her again, if that's even true. Yeah, well, because she's super busy right now.
Brooke
Yeah, that's right.
Jeffrey
That's right.
Brooke
Thank you.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Trying to pencil you in somewhere.
Aaron
Oh, she's busy. That's. Well, that's probably good. Actually, I'm kind of busy, too. I'm really busy.
Brooke
Yeah, well, you. What are you so busy with?
Aaron
Well, other dates, as it turns out.
Brooke
That was blunt. That's fine.
Jeffrey
You guys aren't.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Serious.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Good for you, man.
Brooke
Other, like second date, third dates, or just all first dates?
Aaron
Well, a heck of a lot of first dates, really. Second dates. Yeah, it's. It's all really new for me, I have to say. And what is all the attention that I'm getting online from my profile all of a sudden.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Aaron
I don't know how much she told you about the date, but we were joking around. We just ended up taking these funny pictures.
Brooke
Oh, yeah, she mentioned that. Like, dinosaurs.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Great time. Because that was, like, what she tried on her dating profile before and, like, was laughing about it.
Aaron
Well, yeah. And that's what we were doing in the photos, and they turned out pretty funny. And just kind of as a goof, after the date, I put one of the photos of me up on my profile.
Brooke
And you acting like a dinosaur.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Aaron
And it was a hit.
Brooke
What? What?
Jeffrey
What?
Aaron
I struck gold. Go figure. I started getting all these hits that, like, I've never gotten before.
Brooke
You're in some dinosaur algorithm. Don't you need to. The photo.
Jeffrey
It's the fact that he's with somebody. That's a proven fact.
Brooke
Well, they were taking pictures of each other.
Jeffrey
Was it just you or was it both of you?
Aaron
It was just me, but it was all the tips and tricks and everything that she was talking about. I pulled my hair back, I showed my teeth and my smile and.
Jeffrey
Wait, so. So those things work for guys, but not for girls?
Brooke
Or maybe just when you do them right.
Jeffrey
Is it just face shape?
Aaron
I don't know what it was. I put one photo up and I get all this attention.
Jeffrey
This is really crazy. But you know who would be really interested to learn this information?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Is actually Cynthia herself, who just happens to be on the other line right now. Yeah, she's hearing this.
Aaron
She's not listening, is she?
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, she's listening.
Jeffrey
And she wants to talk to you right now. Aaron.
Aaron
Oh, no, no.
Jeffrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cynthia.
Cynthia
Aaron, I am shocked. I basically put you on.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you did.
Brooke
You wingmanned him good.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Aaron
You deserve most of the credit. You took the picture.
Brooke
Okay, that's a good point. You're a really good photographer, Cynthia.
Jeffrey
And I did him a favor thanking her for getting you dates. Bro, that's a little accidentally petty. Almost.
Aaron
Well, okay, Cynthia, remember we talked, like, dating has been really hard for me. I'm just not used to getting attention. Well, now I am. I'm just going with it. I'm sorry.
Jeffrey
Okay, well, this has got to be a little bit overwhelming to hear all this. Cynthia, how you feeling right now?
Cynthia
Honestly, I'm a little hurt. I'm kind of shocked. Those pictures were just like, joke pictures. I thought, like, was kind of going to be like an inside joke between us. And now other girls like them, I guess. And now you're gonna see all of them instead of me when I've been. You know, we've been in contact.
Aaron
No, no, I don't want to see them instead of you. I want to see you, too. I just gotta wait to get an opening.
Brooke
But, Cynthia, you're really packed, too, right?
Cynthia
Oh, right. I have to see if I can f. My schedule as well.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Brooke
That's right, Cynthia.
Jeffrey
You both just don't have time for each other.
Brooke
You know, she's not going to wait around all day, Aaron, just for you to show up. This is the catch.
Aaron
Well, I have to say, honestly, Cynthia is a. She's a wonderful girl. And that wouldn't surprise me. I'M sure she gets a lot of attention.
Cynthia
If I set something up. Let's say next weekend. Is that something that is available for you?
Jeffrey
She probably has to cancel on like 7 other guys just to make that happen for you. Aaron, she has seven dates that night.
Aaron
Yeah. Let me check my calendar.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Aaron
Which day?
Cynthia
Which does next Saturday work?
Aaron
We Saturday with this coming Saturday maybe. How about five weeks?

Brooke

Aaron
Yeah, I definitely want to go out with Cynthia again, but yeah, it's going to be a while.
Brooke

Jeffrey
Okay. I mean, Cynthia, are you still cool with that? Can you wait a little?

Jeffrey
Yeah.

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update – "Update My Dino Profile"
Release Date: January 18, 2025
In the episode titled "Update My Dino Profile" from Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey navigate the tumultuous landscape of online dating, focusing on the challenges of optimizing dating profiles to secure meaningful connections. The episode is a blend of humor, relatable anecdotes, and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone venturing into the world of digital romance.
Brooke and Jeffrey open the episode by discussing the overwhelming and often contradictory advice available about creating the perfect dating profile. Jeffrey humorously highlights the confusion listeners face:
“It's like, be super clear with your intentions, but also be mysterious and coy” ([02:39]).
They explore the myriad of tips—from hair styles to smile types—emphasizing how following these can sometimes lead to unintended and comical outcomes.
The hosts introduce Cynthia, a listener who sought their advice after struggling with her online dating profile. Cynthia shares her experience of following outdated and conflicting advice, leading to unexpected results:
“She said I looked like a velociraptor” ([06:14]).
Cynthia had meticulously followed tips to pull her hair back and showcase her teeth, aiming to increase her match rate. However, these changes made her appear overly fierce and dinosaur-like, deterring potential matches instead of attracting them.
Despite her profile challenges, Cynthia managed to secure a date with Aaron. Their evening was filled with laughter and unique bonding moments over "dinosaur poses," turning an awkward situation into a memorable experience:
“We laughed about it and ended up taking pictures of each other, you know, in dinosaur poses” ([07:18]).
However, after a month of sporadic communication and conflicting schedules, Cynthia felt discouraged about maintaining the momentum with Aaron. Seeking Brooke and Jeffrey's guidance, she hoped to revive their budding relationship.
Brooke and Jeffrey offer Cynthia candid advice, urging her to avoid appearing needy and to maintain confidence in her interactions. Jeffrey jokes about Brooke's straightforwardness but reassures Cynthia:
“You sound amazing, you sound fun. You sound funny and self-deprecating” ([08:23]).
To provide real-time assistance, the hosts decide to bring Aaron onto the show. Their conversation with Aaron reveals that since using a photo from their memorable first date, he has received increased attention on dating platforms:
“I struck gold. Go figure” ([14:07]).
Through this on-air dialogue, Brooke and Jeffrey facilitate a reconnection between Cynthia and Aaron, helping them arrange another date despite their busy schedules. The exchange underscores the importance of authenticity and timely communication in fostering relationships.
The dinosaur metaphor serves as a recurring humorous theme throughout the episode, symbolizing the pitfalls of overcomplicating one’s dating profile. The playful banter between Brooke, Jeffrey, and their guests adds levity to the serious subject of online dating challenges.
Notable Quotes:
Jeffrey on Conflicting Advice:
“It's like, be super clear with your intentions, but also be mysterious and coy” ([02:39]).
Cynthia on Her Profile Changes:
“She said I looked like a velociraptor” ([06:14]).
Brooke on Maintaining Confidence:
“You sound amazing, you sound fun. You sound funny and self-deprecating” ([08:23]).
Aaron's Success with Updated Photo:
“I struck gold. Go figure” ([14:07]).
In conclusion, this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update masterfully blends humor with actionable advice, illustrating the importance of authenticity in online dating. Cynthia's journey from a "dino-like" profile to embracing her true self serves as a valuable lesson: while tips and tricks can enhance a profile, being genuine is the key to attracting meaningful connections.
Listeners are left with a reinforced understanding that amidst the sea of dating advice, staying true to oneself remains paramount in the quest for love.
