Shooting Your Shot
The content creator isnt shy about looking for a serious relationship.
Brooke Schofield thought she was going to be an actor when she moved to Los Angeles in 2019.
Instead, she ended up working at a restaurant for three years and not doing one single audition.
Now the duo are preparing for their second nationwide tour, which kicks off in February.
I love being single, but I have 27 years of single experience.
I dont need any more, she says.
I have less tolerance now for a casual relationship.
She lets dates know that their relationship may be fodder for the podcast.
I do want guys to be a little bit afraid.
Dont treat me badly, because I will talk about it for sure, she says.
Whats your go-to drink order on a first date?
Spicy marg, all the time, but I will say its catching up to me now.
Im 27, and I feel like the hangovers are horrible.
Do you have any rules when it comes to drinking on dates?
I am such an advocate for drinking before a first date.
I cant remember the last time I went on a date that I wasnt already a little tipsy.
And hopefully, one day, Ill grow out of that.
But right now, it works for me, so dont fix whats not broken.
My one big flex is that I can be really drunk but whoever is with me cant tell.
Is there a drink order that would give you the ick?
I dont think so.
I unfortunately do not get the ick very easily, and I almost wish I did.
Have you ever been picked up at a bar in a memorable way?
I dont like for guys to come up to me at a bar.
I love to meet people through other people.
Thats how I usually date, [and] honestly, Im a big advocate for the apps.
Right now, so many people are hating the apps.
Why do you like the idea of meeting someone on a dating app?
I love the concept of being able to do the research before having any interaction with somebody at all.
The problem with meeting somebody at a bar is I dont know anything about them.
Where did you go to college?
What is your moms name?
I dont know the things that I would know if I were able to look you up online.
My opening online depends on whats on their profile.
What is your advice to someone who is looking to approach dating in a new way this year?
Be clear with your intentions.
Its not always [about] what you want but more [about] what you dont want.
Ill find something in them that Im like OK, if I see this again, Im out.
