Alex Cooper Challenges Dating Norms on Her Podcast
Alex Cooper, the host of the popular podcast *Call Her Daddy*, is making waves with her bold dating advice shared in a recent episode. During the April 5th broadcast titled “Make dating fun again,” she critically addressed widely accepted dating “rules” circulating on TikTok, including the idea of refraining from kissing on the first date.
Cooper firmly disagrees, stating, “Is it bad to kiss on the first date? Well, sometimes we kiss on the first date! How about TikTok?” She emphasizes that if a first kiss feels natural, it’s just that—natural. “The first kiss at the end of the date is the subject of a movie, a song, a book about them, okay?” she added, underlining the romance behind such moments.
She goes on to express that denying oneself pleasure to adhere to arbitrary dating customs doesn’t make sense. In her frank discussion, she shared experiences about intimacy, encouraging listeners to prioritize their own comfort and desires. “So kiss on the first date and sleep together on the first night. I don’t care. You should act based on what feels good in your body and what feels right for you,” Cooper declared.
In addition, she advised not to take to heart well-meaning but potentially misguided advice from friends. “If you have an arrogant friend who’s like, ‘You should never kiss on the first date, it’ll give the wrong impression,’ I mean, okay, maybe that works for them,” she remarked. “But I’m going to keep him in the back door all night,” she quipped, notably humorous yet resonant.
The episode has already garnered attention, with clips reaching nearly 3 million views over the weekend. Notably, *Call Her Daddy* ranked No. 4 among U.S. podcasts in the first quarter of the year according to Edison Research.
As Cooper continues to build her influence in the podcasting world, her candid approach to dating advice invites listeners to reconsider social norms, pushing for a more authentic connection that aligns with personal feelings rather than societal expectations.
