The voices

Apply for a seat

We ask the things people only answer at dinner — and we give the microphone to the people who actually know the answers. Everyone at our table is here for what they have lived and what it taught them, never for anyone's ledger of anyone's past.

The Arrivals

Foreign men who came for a new life — why they really left, what they found, what it cost, and whether they would do it again.

The Home Team

Filipino men, on the view foreigners never ask for: the dating economy from the side that lives here.

The Divorced and Separated

Men years out, on what they would do differently — the words they swallowed, the anger, the lesson.

The Long-Distance Fathers

Fathers apart from their children — by courts, by distance, or by the economy — and what reaching back would cost.

The Widows and the Long-Married

Women who loved across a lifetime, on what they know that no twenty-year-old has learned yet.

The Elders

Men and women 50 to 75: the authority in the room on what actually lasts and what never mattered.

The Single Women

By choice, by circumstance, single mothers — what they want, what they will not tolerate, and what a good outcome looks like for them.

Women of Faith

Speaking to their own convictions — belief, waiting, marriage, family — in their own words, never debated back at them.

The Night Trade

Women of the night economy, consent first and anonymous on request. The sharpest read on the whole dating economy comes from inside it.

The Other Line

Nurses and workers leaving — the mirror image of every man who came here to be wanted.

Casting

Tell us who you are

Received. Somebody from production will write to you — we read every one of these.

You will see your cut before it airs. You can ask to be blurred. You can withdraw at any stage, including after filming.

Consent is the product here. Nothing is filmed, kept, or aired without a signed release, and a 2am conversation is confirmed again sober the next day.

How we seat the table. People join our panels for their experience and their honesty. We do not sort or rank anyone by their romantic or sexual history, and we never will. People speak from their own lives — women about women, believers for their faith, each community for itself. Every guest is paid a standard appearance fee. Nothing near minors, ever.
