If you're a straight, single man with a sex drive, you probably want to meet women. Easier said than done, right? It's all been moved to the apps, which no longer seem to work and have rendered approaching someone in public a foreign, insurmountable task.
But despite the apps, despite the conflict between the genders, despite the general isolation and awkwardness that plagues social life, a fundamental reality remains true: Somewhere, deep down, men and women still have the urge to pair up. Even if just for one night.
So how do you do it? Senior Editor @magdajtaylor asked women who know their way around a night out—including 17 Playboy Playmates and Bunnies—for their advice. They'll tell you where to meet women, how to win them over, and, in case things don't go as planned, the best ways to handle rejection—at the link in bio.

Episode 550- Inside the Manosphere (w/ @magdajtaylor )
Writer, cultural critic, & senior editor at Playboy Magdalene Taylor joins Bad Faith to discuss the viral new Manosphere documentary by Louis Theroux and what it reveals about gender politics, sex, male loneliness, & late stage capitalism. But first, a Very Millenial™ detour into the controversy following early-aughts Jezebel journalist Lindy West’s new book Adult Braces: Are polyamorous relationships and Manosphere “one-way monogomy” arrangements left/right versions of the same impulse?

Inside a Miami penthouse, girl-next-door fantasies go live. The @bophouse turned TikTok virality into a full-scale OnlyFans machine built on braces, baby faces, and hundreds running the back-end. But behind the choreography and cash, it's the fans who are being sold.

Welcome to the dating panopticon.
What happens when every misstep has the potential to go viral? In this episode, tech journalist @tanyenorth and sex and culture writer @magdajtaylor break down the dating panopticon — a world where love, gossip, and surveillance collide.
From ghosting etiquette to the hacked Tea App, we explore how online whisper networks meant to protect women have turned into digital minefields, and what it takes to opt out of turning our romantic lives into content. And, we rehash the ancient, cautionary tale of the one and only West Elm Caleb.

I’m going to be joining Playboy for the next six months as Senior Editor. As my assortment of various Playboy paraphernalia (some of which belonged to my grandfather) suggests, this is obviously a dream come true. It’s going to be very sexy, fun and cool. I’ll still be occasionally freelancing and continuing on with the Substack newsletter (which also just recently hit 15k subscribers). Every day there is a new reason to say “yay”
