People keep inventing new words to describe the infinite number of nuances to dating in this era . . . Here’s the latest.
“Whelming” is a term for when you match with someone on a dating app and start chatting with them . . . but instead of flirting with you, they complain about how they’re overwhelmed by how many matches they’re getting.
Obviously, whelming is a not-so-subtle way of bragging . . . and showing the person you’re chatting with that you’ve got lots of options besides them. Dating is great.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
