You're Too Picky | Dating, Relationships, Millennial Women

What do you do when a date isn’t bad… but isn’t great either? In this week’s episode of the You’re Too Picky podcast, I break down a date that was the definition of “meh.” No sparks, no drama—just two hours of pizza, coffee, and a guy who could only talk about food.

In this episode of You're Too Picky, I'm taking you on a wild ride through the most bizarre and hyper-specific dating apps and groups I could find across North America. Think ghost dating, clown dating, conspiracy-theorist matchmaking, and apps based on your salad order. I'm serious.

We're talking:

• The apps for those who are literally ride or die (hello, Ghost Singles)

• What happens when your beard becomes your dati...

Buckle up, because this week’s episode is basically a dating fever dream—and it all came from ONE listener’s DMs. (Girl, you know who you are 👀)

Ellyn dives into a buffet of dating shenanigans courtesy of one brave soul who submitted everything from questionable Facebook ads to cruise ship heartbreak. Segments today include:

• 🚩 Red Flag or Nah? — He ghosted her after the second date… then matched again a year later. Sir, do you ...

In this episode of the You're Too Picky podcast, I’m throwing it back to exactly one year ago when I met a guy on the 4th of July—and it somehow turned into four months of lukewarm texting, weird memes, and “are you free right now?” phone calls.

This guy? Not quite a stage 5 clinger. More like a solid stage 3. But it got weird. From Insta-stalking my stories to texting me at 5:45 AM with “we should do attractive things,” it was a sl...

In this episode of the You're Too Picky Podcast, I'm talking about a wild (or just interesting...?) update: my MOM wants to set me up on a blind date.

Is this what hitting dating rock bottom looks like—or is it the start of a Hallmark movie arc? I'm spilling the tea on the text that started it all, her mixed feelings about community matchmaking, and why she's both mortified and lowkey into it.

But that’s not all.

This week’s segments...

Welcome back to the You’re Too Picky Podcast— helping you date, not settle.

I'm sitting down with my friend Michal Kaye, a single Jewish woman living in Israel, to unpack what dating looks like across generations, cultures, and belief systems—yet feels remarkably the same.

Someone recently said, “It’s not the apps—it’s the people on them.”

My response? Nah. It’s the apps.

And this episode is the full rant you’ve been waiting for.

Today, we’re breaking down exactly how dating apps have gone from cute convenience to full-blown pay-to-play chaos—and why that shift is making it way harder to find anything real.

💸 We’re talking:

• Gamification, swiping limits, and “roses” that cost real money

• Why love now h...

Ever walked away from a “perfectly nice” date and still felt off about it? That’s not you being dramatic—it’s your intuition doing its job.

In this episode, we’re diving into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) moments when your gut speaks up and what it actually looks like to listen.

🔮 Here’s what we’re getting into:

• The Planner Guy who expected me to plan the date… because I said I liked calendars?

• • Why trusting your dat...

Feeling like dating is a second job you never applied for? You're not imagining it. In this crossover episode pulled from Ellyn’s Burnout Proof podcast, we’re diving deep into what it means to date from a place of exhaustion, disillusionment, and straight-up emotional whiplash.

This one’s for the single women who are done pretending dating apps are fun. If you’ve ever forced yourself to swipe when you knew you weren’t in the headspa...

This one’s fresh off a 2000s dance party—and I’ve got a hot take for the men still standing on the sidelines. If you've ever looked around the club and thought, “Why do all these men look like they were dragged here against their will?”—same, babe.

In this episode, we’re calling B.S. on the so-called male loneliness epidemic and unpacking what women are actually tired of: doing all the emotional labor while men lurk in the shadows w...

Why would a 36-year-old high-achieving solopreneur—who’s definitely still single—start a dating and relationships podcast? In this very first episode of You're Too Picky, Ellyn gets radically honest about her own dating history, insecurities, and the real reasons she's launching this pod.

From body image battles and shame around sex to a decade of workaholism and app burnout, this is the unfiltered backstory to why dating’s been on ...

Welcome to the very first episode of the You’re Too Picky podcast—the dating podcast for women who are done pretending their standards are the problem.

In this kickoff episode, your host Ellyn (coach, creator, and certified dating app survivor) breaks down the myth of being "too picky"—what it really means, who gets to say it, and why that label might actually be a badge of honor.

We’re talking:

• Why “too picky” is usually code for...

Welcome to You’re Too Picky 🥂✨ — the dating podcast for women who are tired of shrinking themselves to find love.

Hosted by Ellyn Schinke, this show is where we laugh at the chaos of modern dating, roast bad dating app bios, debate "red flag or nah," and call BS on the idea that having standards is a flaw.

Come for the rants. Stay for the ...
