On today’s episode of Two Bay Area Girls we will sharing our honest review of Hulu’s dark comedy movie “Fresh”. The movie plot of “Fresh” follows a young woman who is single and dating and details her experience of the “horrors” of modern dating as she meets seemingly a “great guy”.  We will share our honest opinions if this dark comedy is worth the watch. We organically segway into the conversation of what are common red flags when dating.  In the modern dating age of dating apps everyone who has used a dating app has a bad story or two of a disaster date.  Studies show 59% of millennials are single or have never married. Could we say millennials are the problem or dating app culture? Some of the red flags we cover  are lovebombing, breadcrumbing, jealously, not respecting your boundaries, the famous line “all my exs are CRAZY!” and much more!

Have you heard of the term "Goblin Mode". On TikTok the #goblinmode has over 366k videos of creators proclaiming "goblin mode" to be the opposite of “that girl” (a viral trend we covered in our last episode of a highly curated aesthetic lifestyle). "Goblin Mode" is the described as doing the opposite of trying to better yourself. A quote from an article from The Guardian describes it as such, "Peter Hayes, a Bay Area tech worker who says he and his friends have jokingly called themselves goblins, said the term has taken off as the pandemic eliminated the need to keep up appearances. “At home there’s no social pressure to follow norms, so you sort of lose the habit,” he says. “There’s also a feeling that we’re all fucked, so why bother?” Have you experienced feeling "goblin mode" at any point of the pandemic? Is this a transitory movement as a result of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic or is this is a new form of expression that is here to stay? Could this shift be attributed to an increase in nihilism? Have we hit the threshold in society were being hopeful is perceived as naivete?
