The Elusive Dck Podcast

Mailmen, Mink Coats and Miami Mojitos | The Elusive Dck Podcast (Ep. 9)

This week Marjorie and Barbara catch up on their latest dating stories, from Barbara's Miami girls trip filled with poolside texting escapades to unexpected updates from past prospects. Barbara shares highlights from escaping the cold and navigating modern dating while traveling, while Marjorie walks us through a promising connection that didn’t quite land—and why not making time for something as simple as coffee can be the ultimate deal breaker.
 
The ladies dive into gut instincts in dating, giving credit where it’s due (including an “A for effort” contender), and experimenting with a facetime coffee date inspired by a previous episode. Along the way, Marjorie successfully converts another peer to try dating younger men, and a familiar suitor resurfaces with a major update. As always, the episode is packed with real dating stories, unexpected twists, and sharp observations on modern romance.
 
It’s a candid look at dating after 50, trusting your instincts, communication in online dating, and how small actions can reveal big truths.
 
The Elusive Dck offers a different perspective on dating and relationships, blending comedy with cultural commentary for women navigating dating, desire, and independence later in life. Whether you’re single, dating again, curious about modern dating, or just here for the laughs, this podcast proves it’s never too late to rewrite the rules.

Dating and Your Nervous System w/Therapist Irina | The Elusive Dck Podcast (Ep. 5)

In this episode of The Elusive Dick, hosts Marjorie and Barbara welcome their second guest, Irina — a therapist, spiritual healer, and fellow dater navigating the modern dating world alongside them. Together, the women unpack how people often hide behind screens, why plans that get pushed for weeks or months are a major turnoff, and how online dating has become a space for attention-seeking and confidence boosts rather than real connection.
 
Drawing on Irina’s 25+ years counseling couples, the conversation explores why you might not get a text back, how people prioritize (or avoid) meeting in person, and how humans often seek pleasure to avoid pain — sometimes resulting in selfish dating behavior. With honesty, humor, and compassion, the episode offers insight into dating after 50, emotional availability, and how clarity can shift your dating experience.
 
This episode delivers both hope and a game plan, asking the essential questions: What do you want? What are you trying to attract? Once that shift happens, new opportunities begin to appear.

Golden Advice with Lucille | The Elusive Dck Podcast (Ep. 4)

In this episode of The Elusive Dck, hosts Marjorie and Barbara are joined by Lucille, their first guest, for an honest and funny conversation about dating outside the traditional age range and navigating the judgment that often comes with it. From peers’ opinions on age-gap dating to Marjorie’s mother-in-law wanting every detail of her dating life, the hosts unpack how outside voices can shape — or limit — how women date after 50.
The conversation dives into the rules of dating men over 65, social expectations around older women dating again, and what happens when you choose curiosity over judgment. Marjorie shares how she encouraged her peers to put themselves out there during a girls’ weekend away — and how once the fear of judgment faded, the stories (and opportunities) started flowing. Lucille reflects on the emotions, confidence, and personal growth that came from saying yes to dating again later in life.
