As AfterPartyPod veers into a direction of focusing not just on recovery from addiction but also on developing healthier relationships, Rushfield came in to school me (and you) on how to both find and then maintain romance. He claims that he comes by this knowledge by having worked on the TV show Blind Date as well as by his friendship with author Robert Greene (author of The Art of Seduction, among many other bestselling books). But the spin he gives is all Rushfield-ian (he is, it’s worth mentioning, married to the brilliant and lovely journalist Nicole LaPorte and they have two kids). In this episode, he and I discuss ways to seem desirable (ask to borrow someone’s phone and then leave them sitting there while you go use it), whether or not we know if we’re interested in someone immediately (according to him, yes) and why women need to talk less, among many other topics.
