Is the "Wait Rule" actually protecting you, or is it just wasting your time? This week on Bad Advice Only, Nora, Tara, and Ali (the rat girls) dive deep into the age-old debate: Should you sleep with someone on the first date?

The Rat Girls are breaking down why sexual compatibility is a first-date priority and share their ultimate "Bare Minimum Checklist" (including why a man over 30 without hand soap is an immediate red flag).

In this episode, we discuss:

• First Date Standards: Why headboards and sheets are non-negotiable.

• The NYC vs. South Debate: Does your location change how "slutty" you are?

• Biological Logic: Why waiting 3 dates won’t change a man’s mind.

• The "ick" factor: How a guy saying "you haven't touched me yet" is the ultimate turn-off.

• Period Sex & Taboos: Why "bitch boys" are still afraid of a little blood.

Whether you're looking for a relationship or just looking to "get it out of the way," this episode is your guide to navigating modern dating in NYC with zero shame and 100% honesty.

Watch the full episode for the verdict.
