Ever wondered how some people manage to turn their online dating profiles into comedic goldmines? This week on Cousins Honestly, Openly Discussing Everything Spicy (CHODES), we're bringing you the roasting of some of the most cringeworthy OkCupid profiles we've ever come across. From a guy who calls himself "T-Pain" with absolutely no resemblance to the famous artist to another who dreams of a romantic rose farm future, we’re pulling no punches. Expect candid commentary on the importance of personal hygiene and social awareness in online dating—because, seriously, some folks need a wake-up call.

Next, join us as we compare various suitors to iconic characters like Gollum from "Lord of the Rings," Grimace from McDonald's, and even an egg from "Puss in Boots." We share our frustrations over generic copy-paste messages and critique some of the most baffling photo choices, including religious images and the unkempt appearances that make you wonder what they were thinking. Through the hilarity, we emphasize the importance of effort and creativity in one's dating profile. It's all about putting your best foot forward—just maybe not the one you haven't washed in three days.

Finally, we take a slight detour to read a heartfelt message from one of our Instagram followers that warmed our hearts. Even though we save our discussion on judging for the next episode, we couldn't resist sharing our thoughts on the latest trends in kids' fashion. We wrap up with some amusing dating anecdotes, including a guy who humorously admitted he's "swiping out of his league." Whether you're navigating the treacherous waters of online dating or just in need of a good laugh, join us for a fun-filled episode that highlights the quirks and pitfalls of dating in the digital age. Enjoy your week or weekend, whenever you listen!
