Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living series. Today’s show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and if you’ve ever swiped left, swiped right, or just wanted to swipe the whole screen off the table, this episode is for you.

👀 Romance After 50? Let’s just say… it’s not all candlelight and poetry. Sometimes it’s fish photos and Flatulent Floyd.

Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen, humorist and author of Swipe Left: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Decoding Men’s Dating Profiles, joined me on The Not Old Better Show to unpack the real state of modern dating—and she doesn’t hold back. With characters like Boozy Bruce and Pyramid Pete, Nancy turns cringe-worthy dating fails into laugh-out-loud lessons.

But this episode isn’t just comedy—there’s deep wisdom here. Nancy speaks to the pressure women over 50 feel to “be nice,” the exhaustion of endless swiping, and the importance of protecting your time, your peace, and your sanity.

She reminds us that dating at this stage of life isn’t about finding “the one.” It’s about avoiding the wrong ones—the emotionally unavailable, the guys holding fish, and the ones who start their bios with “no drama please.” 🙄
