VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Yee-haw! Bachelor Nation stars and newlyweds Ashley Iaconetti Haibon and Jared
Haibon are fixin' to explore the realities of dating in
the new "Dine & Dish" video from dating app Plenty of Fish. In
true Texas fashion, the couple
dishes with real Plenty of Fish members about the LOL
and SMH-moments of online dating over a round of corn hole and
tasty barbecue.
According to a recent study of Austinites,* 85% of local singles
say dating in the city is tough, with over 2/3 of women believing
that the majority of singles in the area are only interested in
hooking up. Filmed on a ranch outside of Austin, in Dine & Dish: Texas Style, the
group explores exactly what makes dating in Austin so challenging. From profile do's and
don'ts to the nuances of a "meet up" versus a date, the video
highlights how to stay true to yourself (and stand out) while
keeping up with evolving dating trends in the state where
everything is bigger.
"Before getting married, Jared and I had our share of dating
struggles -- including several in the public eye -- so it's been
fun and rewarding to help singles and hear what they're going
through, too," said Dine & Dish host Ashley Iaconetti Haibon. "Through these
conversations, we're learning so much about the challenges that
people are facing in today's dating world. One of the biggest
takeaways from Dine & Dish is how important it is to have a
dating profile that captures who you really are. If you're unable
to bring yourself to life online, then you're limiting your chances
of meeting someone great offline."
"Singles today are compelled to present an inauthentic version
of themselves online," said Plenty of Fish Global Head of
Marketing, Stefan Harvalias. "The
Dine & Dish video series sheds light on these pressures, while
providing helpful insights in an entertaining way that our members
and all singles can use in real life."
Dine & Dish: Texas Style is the second video released
within the Dine & Dish series, with the first video premiering
in September 2019. View both Plenty
of Fish Dine & Dish videos on YouTube and find more dating
