Industry Dating: Entertainment vs The 9-5 w/ Lauren & Maria

Swipe East, Swipe West

While people in Philly and LA work across several industries, it's no secret each city skews a certain way: LA towards entertainment, and Philly towards a typical 9-5. However, with these different industries comes challenges in dating, including different types of personalities, managing different work schedules, as well as the dealing with conversations around your job being equated to status - at least in LA.

In this episode, guests Lauren and Maria chat with Ashley about their experiences dating in the film and music industries, along with how it compares to dating in other places they've lived in Colorado, Wisconsin, and DC. They share stories dating A-list celebrities in the film industry, what it is like to date a touring musician, as well as a story from a friend going home with a performer that had a snake fetish - LA people are a rare breed.

Ashley discusses industry life in Philly, the total opposite, where most people hold your standard 9-5 job (aside from those in the restaurant industry), and how unlike LA, status isn't a topic of conversation. While most people share similar personalities across industries (except finance), she does have one crazy experience on a date with a stripper doctor that is *almost* on par with dating someone in LA.
