Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning, hun kiss one.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think these three or four dating qualities are super
overrated at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You'll have to let me know if you agree dating
is a keyword.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You're gonna need to win the big time rush tickets
coming up around eight thirty five ish.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Ten or so minutes from now.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I had mentioned what are you looking for when you're
searching for someone on a dating app?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Or hey, if you're like me in real life.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The reason why we're talking about it is Benny Blanco
is chit chatting for Selena Gomez's birthday yesterday on what
really made him fall in love with her, and I
was surprised about one of the qualities.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'll play the clip in a second.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The overrated ones to me are like height, eye color,
job title. Hey, I mean you might like that, you
might need somebody that is taller than you or shorter
than you. Maybe I don't know that, and you might
disagree with me, and that's totally okay.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That's what the show is for.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Some of the more underrated ones, though, that I find
myself and maybe others going for, is emotional regulation. How
about curiosity following through willingness to learn, how do they
talk to a service worker. Those are things that are
more value to me, valuable to me than what your
eye color is and whether or not you have hair.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Ye know, but that's me.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So nonetheless, Benny Blanco is chit chatting on a podcast
about this one quality in Selena Gomez that I found
a little surprising.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
So what camera to look at? Is this a camera?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
If you are ready, and you have to be really
ready to find the person that you want to spend
the rest of your life with, you have to cut
off everything that you know is bad for you. You
know what's bad for you, you know what's good for you, you
know what's bad for you that's bad for you. You
cut it out. You make a list of all the
things you want in a partner. It can be whatever
you want. My list was very simple. I needed someone
in my age bracket. I want someone who was kind.
(01:48):
I wanted someone who was caring. I wanted someone who
was compassionate. I wanted someone who did anything I didn't care, like,
just be obsessed with anything you want to.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Do in your life.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I enjoyed it that I enjoyed that last part. I
do like it when someone is obsessed with something, the
kind caring, empathy, compassion.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Those are great qualities.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But the one thing that he said about Selena Gomez
was age that he was looking for someone that was
in the same age bracket as him.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I don't know if others do the same.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And what's a big age bracket difference to you if
you're thinking right now, well, if someone's in their twenties,
like let's say twenty two, and they're dating someone twenty nine,
is that within the same age bracket or are we
thinking like the Bill Belichick and Jordan situation. I do
think in this bracket of life in the twenties and
the thirties that even just a few years makes a
(02:45):
big difference. There's a lot of growth that happens between
the age of thirty one and thirty five, especially for
a guy.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
But let's see, let's see we're at this morning, Sincy.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What is number one quality that you look for someone
that I'm missing in this segment this Morning from five
point three seven, nine, one oh seven one or talk
back with tiff on iHeart Radium.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
We'll get you those tickets coming up in a few.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Good morning, you're waking up with Tiff in the morning
on Kiss one oh seven one. You're a few minutes
out from your chance to win the big Time Rush tickets.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And you'll need the keyword dating.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We're in the midst of talking about the dating quality,
the number one thing that you are looking for right now.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Okay, So if a guy's car is a mess, it's over.
I'm done because then it's definitely like everything else is
a mess too. So I always check out not the
kind of car, but like the condition of.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The car that is one that I wouldn't have thought of,
but it lives kind of rent free in my brain
as well.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Thank you for the talk back with Tiff.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The microphone is in the top right hand corner on
the iHeart radio app.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You just hold that down and you can leave me
a voice. Snow.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The reason why we're talking about it this morning is
I came across a clip of Benny Blanco chatting about
you know what he admires most about Selena Gomez and
what his life was, and one of the qualities was age.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He really wanted someone in his age bracket.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I don't know why that stuck with me as
something that was pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So we're talking about your quality has to be a
non smoker.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I'm mathematic.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I just think it's smell disgusting.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It It's just I hate the smell.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's just grosses me out.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
On their clothes. I mean, favorite kissed someone that smokes.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It's nasty and oddly enough, I find the actual smoking
kind of hot that It's really not not my thing.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's a it's a no go for me. Okay, what else?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
This one's really simple. No younger men ever ever. Again,
they're just not adults, you know what I mean. I mean,
I'm forty years old, so like I'm right at that
point where younger guys are kind of picking me up.
I don't know what it is. Maybe because I'm it's
cougar time. But yeah, no, try that and it doesn't work.
No younger, no younger men for me.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, well, thank you for contributing.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Everyone's list is just a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Caller ten, if.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You have the keyword that I mentioned a couple of
minutes ago, you're in the right place. If you want
to go see Big Time Rush five one three seven
four nine, one oh seven one.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
In the meantime, we're still commercial for you.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You're waking up with Siff in the morning on chis
one O seven one. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm gonna play Christina Aguilera here in a hot second,
but first I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Hoping you have a keyword for me. I do dating. Congratulations.
You got the keyword.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm stamping your Sincy summer passport with big time rush tickets.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Oh whoa, thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yours so welcome. What's your name? When neighbor ad you
waking up with me? Eam lebby from Cheviot Lippy. Thank
you for listening to Tiff in the morning.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Absolutely, you're great.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So we were chitchatting dating qualities and what would be
the number one thing in your life that you've learned
that you're looking for in a partner.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I would say compassion. I've been with my partner for
about eight years now, but I would say compassion is
one of the biggest ones. I like that. I like
that about you.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, I had said some of the more underrated ones
were curiosity, emotional regulation. How about how they talk to
a service worker, rather than height, eye color, what you
do for a living.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I think those are all very important too, because looks
will fade over time, but your personality and who you
are won't.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh my god, so poetic this morning, Libby, Well, congrats
on the tickets. If you took an L on these
tomorrow at thirty, I'll have another big time rush pair
for you.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But also if you can trade me some of your time.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I mean, I've got one thousand dollars at nine oh five,
and I'm sure that will come in handy at some
point this month. Okay has promised Christina Aguilera, and we're
two songs out from three things.
You're waking up with fifth in the morning, hun kiss one.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think these three or four dating qualities are super
overrated at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
