Exactly. With Florence Given

Dating, DM's and Alone Time | Beam Me Up Softboi

Happy Thursday Floss Fans! A fun, flirty one for you this week. Floss chats to Iona David, the woman behind the iconic meme account Beam Me Up Softboi. Iona talks about how and why she started the hilarious and horrifying process of interactions and dms written by (mostly) men to women online and on dating apps. They deep dive on dating, digital romance and why the girlies are STRUGGLING with the indie boys of the world. You’ll also be treated to a comprehensive analysis of what a soft boi actually is- a feminist? A “nice guy”? A Pokemon style evolution of a fuck boy? Tune in to find out.



A Somethin' Else &amp; Sony Music Entertainment production.
