    Had to Unfollow
    I’ve followed this show for years and used to enjoy it but it’s hard to relate to now in many ways… would appreciate more class conscious material (something outside the fairly wealthy Hollywood elite community) and also missing Arab comedians/ perspectives, backgrounds…

    The best!
    Longtime friend in my head and a continued pleasure to hear. Nicole has a natural ability to meet people where they are and match energies without compromising her principles. And make no mistake, despite her self deprecation, she is a woman with deep convictions. But she knows better than to confront you with them directly. Instead, she’ll sneak them into a spoonful of peanut butter like a dog’s medicine. Eat up, dummies.

    Nicole and Ben Schwartz are magic
    Long time listener and fan. I could not stop laughing during the “Sonic is here!” podcast. You’re both delightful, positive people and the energy you have together is contagious.

    HILARIOUS!
    I found this podcast through one of my favorite radio hosts, Sam Sanders, and I haven’t laughed this hard in a while at their chat. This is the longform interview podcast that I didn’t know I needed, and it’s a much appreciated break from the intensity and seriousness of the past few years.
  • Just the exiled parts
    Best Pod find
    Nicole Byer and Sam Samuels are a match made in quick wit heaven! Loved finding this podcast and am about to binge all the previous episodes!

    Nicole is a brilliant beautiful soul. This podcast will brighten your day and leave you wishing a million good karma wishes to Nicole. I cannot listen to a single episode without laughing and smiling and feeling uplifted.
  • Slowdive79
    Love you.
    I didn’t realize I took a break from this podcast. It’s still incredibly funny and silly and amazing

    No genocide supporters - why was Sarah Silverman a guest?
    I love Nicole and I love this podcast but have to criticize the recent episode with Sarah Silverman as a guest. There is a full-on 21st century holocaust happening in Gaza that our government has funded heavily since October of 2023 and Sarah Silverman is cool with it. So if you’re a person of conscience and morals, you’re not cool with Sarah. That being said, I don’t know who picks the guests or what Nicole would have to say about this, but it’s incredibly disparaging that one of my favorite pods allowed Sarah this platform.
  • Janayasahotmess
    Sarah Silverman was a Wild choice
    Having a proud g-cide supporter on the show was a terrible choice. I generally love Nicole and this show. I’ve paid to see her live; she’s a real treat of a human and performer, and I’m really scratching my head at this one.
  • Debbiedubya
    Instant love
    First of all Nicole Byer makes anything entertaining, honest and it’s hard not to love her. Seriously I want to just hangout, laugh and you know vibe with her. Always an easy back and forth with the guests and you never know what’s gonna be said. Nicole, why won’t you date ME?
  • Meacatcosplay
    Pro Zionist
    Recently had a Zionist as a guest, Nicole clearly doesn’t care about Palestine
  • dccgg454
    Really, Sarah Silverman??
    Love this podcast, but why would you have someone on who’s done blackface (and generally built her career being racist), especially right now? Hugeee yikes 🙃

    One of my faves - every so funny
  • nicolebyerwastaken
    I Love Nicole!
    Nicole Byer is SO GREAT AT PODCASTING (among other things)! She always makes me laugh and puts me in a good mood. I listen to all of her podcasts and can’t get enough! Also she is so funny on Nailed It on Netflix, check it out if you haven’t already! So happy that Why Won’t You Date Me is back on headgum and now available on YouTube!
  • DougFoPug
    So Fun, Easy Listening & now on YouTube
    I really can’t get enough Nicole Byer. She’s fun, has fun being funny, & is willing to laugh at herself & everyone else. Every moment with Nicole on Nailed It on Netflix, her specials or this Podcast (which we can now watch on YouTube!) is ab fab self-care. Love ya Nicole!

    Nicole- you know why you’re single.
    Nicole is so funny, weird (in a good way) and interesting to listen to! But maybe it’s time to put this to bed. Keep podcasting, but also consider the ending the “I have no idea why I’m single!” narrative. At this point it’s your toxic friend who has been given loads of therapy, advice from loved ones, and grace, yet refuses to acknowledge any of it. Stop asking and just accept you don’t want to be in a relationship, or you don’t have the tools to attract something healthy, ya know? Idk, I really think Nicole could get an amazing man (or woman), but it sounds like she has and chooses to sabotage instead. It’s a bit tired at this point.

    Ok first Nicole your great and I’m only doing to star because of the pod act like instead of making everything about you how about you not be selfish
  • Deestiltz
    Pure Perfection
    This podcast is everything a dating podcast should want to be! I love how it’s honest, heartfelt, and sometimes just an ad to a comedian/celebrity boo’d up—werk your magic Nicole!
  • Prozizzle
    Very funny and sweet
    Rewriting my review. At first I liked the show but it always seemed the same. I have returned to listen and the episodes recently have been a blast!
  • annoyedaf1234567
    Please No More Babble
    That’s all.
  • Jsgskstdgtvsjsvsjshs
    PLEASE more BABBLE
    I can take it anymore. Give me more of that sweet sweet BA-BB-EL because yo soy hamburgurso mucho! Tell me how those rules and restriction apply, bae!
  • BettyButts
    Please no more BABBLE!
    I can’t take it anymore
  • Annnnnnnnaaaaa
    One of the best
    Absolutely love this show. How Nicole is able to have this much chemistry with every guest should be studied by science because I could use some of it. Long time listener but the latest episode with Akeem Woods had me running over to publicly sing the pods praises.
  • Hmptngirl
    Love, love, love
    I wish we could rate other’s reviews. Why in the world would anyone come to this podcast of this title and think they would or want to hear about genocides? They must be a Newcomer (add’l plug) bc Nicole made a concerted effort in most of 2020 to only feature POC. ANYWAY, this is where I and many others come to escape the news and just have an hour of levity in this hellish world. Keep doing you, Nicole and team! You da best!!
  • LMKbruh
    Ned better guests for the 👸🏽!
    I love Nicole and think she’s sooo talented but her booker needs to step up their game. The recent guests have been awful… and even fast forwarding or skipping only gets u so far. 1 huge tip- VERY few tiktokers are entertaining guests. They’re usually popular on tik tok because of their recorded/written skits NOT live. Nicole deserves better than z-list.
  • Autopay Wow
    So fun
    This show is so funny!!! Nicole Byer keeps me in stitches!!
  • Luyonce
    Love Nicole BUT…
    I love Nicole, she is one of my favorite comedians and I watch/listen to anything she’s in religiously. BUT ever since the podcast joined Team Coco, I feel like the quality of the guests has really taken a nose dive. She’s recently been talking to some real boring people and it’s a snooze-pocalypse. Now and then Nicole comes alive when she gets to talk to interesting people (a lot of the time these are queer, PoC and non boring str8s guests), but that seems to be few and far between now. I’ll continue listening, but if the quality of the guests doesn’t improve, I might skip more and more episodes. Love you Nicole, but your producers need to put in as much works as you put in!

    Great show
    Amazing show!! Funny plus every once in a while a new piece of Nicole’s dating/life lore drops and it leaves you shooketh
  • Gsfudeeuungddtg
    Feeling Disappointed Lately
    I’m a huge fan of Nicole and all her work but lately this podcast has been frustrating to listen to. The interviews aren’t as interesting because so much time is spent only on Nicole’s interpersonal life. I wish there were more focus on love and dating in general and less about how Nicole wants a relationship. I don’t mind that it’s in the podcast but I’ve had to give up on episodes lately because I feel like the same topics are rehashed over and over again.

    Love the podcast, reviewer Lunamoonbeam12 is out of line
    What’s up with Lunamoonbeam12’s review? Are they seriously giving the podcast one star because Nicole isn’t using her platform to talk about political and social justice issues? Seriously?? I mean, do they realize this podcast is called “Why Won’t You Date Me” and what the subject matter is? It’s a freaking comedy podcast. Just because Nicole is a POC (I am, as well), doesn’t mean she needs to be discussing these things and getting a one star review because of it. That reviewer needs a major reality check, because this isn’t the platform or podcast for that. The entitlement of people…
  • Lunamoonbeam12
    Sad
    Have listened to Nicole for years. As POC, I really wish you’d use your voice and platform for the other POC around the world who need their voices lifted and heard. Congo, Palestine, Sudan. The many other genocides. Please Nicole.
  • vanessa_nothudgens
    10/10
    I absolutely LOVE Nicole and could listen to her for hours. She’s truly a breath of fresh air.
  • abk186
    please be my friend Nicole
    Sometimes I’ll think to myself, wow, I am really missing one of my friends but for some reason I don’t remember which friend. Then I realize I haven’t listened to Nicole’s podcast in a while. Please be my friend Nicole!

  • kwak_addict
    What a treat, what a dream!
    Real quick, we have to take break! Just kidding! I’ve now listened to every single episode. From oldest to newest, like a real one. Finally caught up & I would say that it’s Verrry Funny. Nicole and I have learned so much and met so many folks through this glorious journey. I intend to keep listening henceforth.

    Best Ad Reads Ever
    The only show where I don’t skip the ads. I am in tears writing this.
  • carla2692
    Whew…
    “I feel like dating women might just be easier”, the way I yelled, “NO” to my empty apartment
  • EllaMakesArt
    LOL (lots of laughter)
    It’s so weird to say that I’ve “grown up” with any podcast, but “Why Won’t You Date Me” has been on my list since 2018. I’ve been an avid listener and grateful for Nicole’s hosting skills, wit, and humorous approach towards life. The WWYDM team has my whole heart! It’s also been cool to continue (parasocially) rooting for Nicole, so power to the WWYDM team!
  • DvlTessa
    Funny weirdo
    I love Nicole Byer, she is a total weirdo in the funniest way beep boop ba doop bop. Even the ads make me laugh so hard. INTENSE!
  • Let's Make Change
    Still love this
    I’ve been listening to this for a while and still love listening to you, Nicole! The episode with you and Zach Woods was wonderful. It was such a fantastic surprise to see you in an episode of his new show. I wish you all the best!
  • Gyhhggthyygggggg
    Love
    You’re hilarious and adorable. Your interview w/ Zach Woods was so sweet and genuine. Could’ve listened to you 2 for so much longer.

    Love the Pod & Nicole but Stop the Pod if You Wanna Find Love
    Dear Nicole - Been a fan for many years. You’re funny, talented, hard working and kind. But I think at this point if you ever wanna find love, you should end this podcast. It makes you think too much into every single interaction, relationship, etc. Plus, it makes you vulnerable in a way that exposes you in ways that should be saved for that special person you will one day meet. At times, I’m uncomfortable for you listening to another failed attempt or experience. You’re NOT desperate!! You’re far better off than most people in all the typical successful ways. But it seems after so long of not finding love, you’re becoming someone you don’t want to be; bitter, older and disillusioned with love. You’re better than this. You’ve given your fans so much of yourself. It’s about time you save some intimate moments and feelings just for you and whoever it is you can and will meet eventually. Most of us will never dare to be so vulnerable to strangers so who am I to make this type of assessment. But again, I think continuing this podcast isn’t helping if you ever truly want to find a real partner. You’ve given us enough. Now it’s time for you. Take care.
