Navigating dating apps can be difficult, and if you thought celebrities were somehow excused from that societal headache, think again.
During a recent interview with E! News, Fran Drescher talked about her experience with dating and dating apps, and you'll be surprised with just how relatable her story is. And yes, she has horror stories!
"I tried one app once and I found that none of the guys seemed to be honest about how they presented themselves," The Nanny star said. "They weren't as successful as their profile suggested, some of them smoked."
"All in all, I think that they kind of fudge their age, they fudge their accomplishments. And although I've been with guys who weren't as successful as I am, I've learned the hard way that it's fun for a while but then eventually they begin to resent you for paying for everything, and for having more than they have, and for being more successful than they are."
Fran revealed she will no longer be putting herself through that because it's "too painful." The last thing she wants is to be resented for her success.
So not only is she done wasting time on dating apps, Fran also knows when to cut a date short when it isn't going well. The actor discussed a date she'll never forget.
"I've been on dates with guys who we got into a fight about how we would raise this imaginary kid that we were never gonna have because we clearly were completely different people who would have different styles of parenting."
"Anybody that ever says anything that even suggests or hints at any kind of prejudice of anybody, that is like, 'OK, I have a headache, we're not even gonna order dinner.'"
But despite the ups and downs she's faced on the dating scene, Fran is remaining hopeful. "I think I'm at a place right now where I'm just beginning to want to stick my toe back in the water and put the word out there to look for me."
In the meantime, Fran's been building a stronger relationship with herself, and she's loved every minute of it.
