Jennie Young returns to the podcast for a second time. Jennie is a professor of rhetoric, writer and cultural critic known for her sharp, witty take on modern dating and communication. She’s the creator of the “Burned Haystack Dating Method,” a bold approach that helps people cut through the chaos of dating apps by recognising the hidden signals in language and behaviour.
She’s also the author of the new book Burn the Haystack, which turns that method into a smart, practical guide for navigating dating, spotting manipulation, and trusting your instincts in the modern relationship jungle.
Key points of the episode:
- The new book and it's release date in the UK.
- How the book came about.
- How her academic specialism lends itself beautifully to dating.
- "Rhetorical patterns", what are they?
- The definition of "drama" - the correct one.
- How she became mystified, confused and eventually angry on the dating apps.
- How all the apps are "gameified"
- Her "rules" in Burned Haystack - and why.
- The common dating patterns to avoid and how they are broken down in the book.
- An example......
- Partner in crime? Yay? Nay?
- Walk and a pint in the pub... acceptable?
- It's a numbers game... is it?
- Her own experience with her own method.
- "Thinslicing"- what it is.
- Her coping mechanism for criticism.
