Tev brings the receipts. A second survey, this time 229 divorced dads answering 28 questions about what actually broke their marriage, not about dating but about what happened before. Because if you don't know what you're carrying, you'll take it straight into the next relationship.
Mike and Teva get into who actually pulls the pin and a real conversation about why so few men end it themselves, what it's l...
This week the topic is green flags, because apparently everyone is so busy scanning for what's wrong that they've completely stopped noticing what's right. Teva breaks down exactly what a woman who is interested actually does, from how she texts back to whether she's leaning in across the table. Mike demonstrates the world's least attractive man spread, and they make a compelling case for inviting body language expert ...
Mike and Tev go somewhere they haven't gone before. The episode that everyone knew was coming and nobody was quite ready for. The one where they talk about sex after separation. After coming out of a long relationship, the idea of being with someone new is not just physically daunting - it's emotionally complicated in ways most guys completely underestimate. Mike and Tev get into what actually happens when you jump back into sex t...
This week Mike and Tev go deeper than they've gone before. Not the apps, not the first date, not the opening line. The real reason dating is failing post-divorce - and why fixing the surface stuff isn't going to solve it.
They get into the unprocessed weight most dads are carrying...

This week Mike and Tev get into one of the big questions - how many women is it actually okay to be talking to at the same time? They dig into where the line is between playing the numbers game and just being a decent human being, why being upfront about what you want from the start saves everyone a world of pain, and why AI doing your dating for you is both tempting and deeply concerning. Then it's into opening lines, the ones t...
No guests, no filter, just Mike and Tev working through the questions coming in from the DMs. This episode covers the full Q&A: how to let someone down gently after a date without being a coward about it, whether you should stay friends with someone you're not attracted to, how to actually build the confidence to walk up to a woman in public, why women post old photos and what that says about insecurities, and how to get to k...
No guest this week, just Mike and Tev in the studio, and honestly that might be more dangerous.
This episode is pure Q&A. Mike answers the hard questions and Teva tells him he's wrong. They get into whether the half your age plus seven rule actually means anything, what to do when she ghosts you after a great date, whether kids belong in your dating profile, and the question everyone is too scared to ask out loud: Should you ev...
Episode 2 brings in the show's first ever guest, a real single dad named Lockie, captured and recruited from a late night at the pub (or the gym - stories differ!)
Mike and Tev get into single dads dogs, the merits and dangers of the Tinder walk, and why using ChatGPT to write your opening line to a woman is a hard no.
Then Lockie joins for a proper Q&A. He gets into navigating the apps after 17 years in a marriage, the dopamin...
Consider this your orientation. In the first short episode of Single Dads Dating Dilemmas, Mike and Tev introduce themselves - two people with, by their own admission, questionable dating credentials - and make the case that's exactly why single dads should listen.
They di...
