Based in Midtown East in New York City, Serena Shahidi—tiktok star, FIT student, and dating connoisseur talks about a wide and almost unpredictable range of topics on her podcast, Let Me Ruin Your Life. The first episode was posted August 6 of last year, where she started off strong with broadcasting her current (and hilarious) dating situation, describing the meaning of certain types of dates, flirting advice, and college tips. Aside from her intoxicatingly soothing voice, she shares unique takes and astute advice on the DO’s and DONT’s of the dating scene, as well as constantly reminding her listeners to always hold high standards. However, it doesn’t always revolve around dating. Serena also touches on topics like mental health, developing your style, and money advice. If you are still not intrigued in the slightest, here are some direct quotes from the podcast.
Memorable Quotes (in no particular order)
1.“Never act unfamiliar with being treated well.”
“Make sure to not make any exceptions with your standards just because you like someone. Just because you feel like this person is different, doesn’t mean that you should completely let your guard down and just let them treat you any way that they want to treat you.” –Episode 6: Depression Naps and Fashion School
2.“Men are supposed to make money, fight in wars, build things and pursue women.”
“That is not your job, that will never be your job, I don’t like that at all, and the idea that if we want equality, the first step is that we have to pursue men, we have to start paying for things, we have to do this, and this and this. And that we have to work a career and come home and take care of the kids and clean and cook—that’s gender equality? Hmm… awfully convenient that gender equality equals women having the short end of the stick… interesting. – Episode 9: Jump Roping and Military Men
3.If he knows his astrology sign, right off the bat—that is wh*** behavior.
