What is Woke Fishing in Dating and the Death of Real Chemistry

Dating is weird now. In this special date night segment, Shane Hewitt teams up with Jen Kirsch and Tony Tedesco to explore “woke fishing” — when people fake political views to get matches — and what it says about where online dating has taken us.

They dig into why people overshare on apps, how intensity gets confused for connection, and why we’re more honest meeting in the frozen food aisle than we are online. It’s funny, fast, and uncomfortably accurate. Also: squat racks, tight pants, gym fakes, and why it’s better to just say you haven’t had a salad in five years.
