What Anna Faris Learned That Took Her From Dating Jerky Narcissists to Marrying Chris Pratt

Mom star offers candid (and also hilarious) advice during first episode of her podcast "Anna Faris Is Unqualified"

The search for Prince Charming doesn't always involve kissing frogs.

As Anna Faris revealed Monday on the first episode of her podcast, "Anna Faris Is Unqualified," she had to date a lot "incredibly handsome men that treated me like s--t" before she finally learned the essential thing that led her to marrying Chris Pratt...

Chatting with Mom co-star Allison Janney and her podcast co-host Sim Sarna, Anna drew from personal experience as she tried to give relationship advice to a 24-year-old Iowan named Emma. "Relationships in your 20s are kind of the worst," said the 38-year-old actress. "My whole 20s were about relationship learning, and I had so many bad relationships, but I feel like I at least learned what made me feel good and what didn't make me feel good..."

Both Anna and Allison empathized with Emma, who "really hit it off" with a guy she met on Tinder—only to find he texted "sporadically" in the two weeks following their first date."First of all, nobody ever texts me back because I'm not a great texter," Anna admitted. "But, what do you like about him? I just want to make sure that what you like about him—because, in my past, I've liked guys because they've rejected me, you know?"

It's a fair point, and pre-Pratt, Anna said she fell in love with plenty of "narcissists" before she realized jerks weren't the way to go. "But I did learn, at least, from some of those relationships what kindness was," she said, "and how I wanted a guy who was actually—who was nice and kind. It sounds simple, but that's what I hope for you."

Anna, Allison and Sim offered Emma advice on what to text, what not to text, and when it might be time to let the flaky fella fly. They also delved into some R-rated topics during the podcast, which included advice on pleasuring a man as well as the best methods of "talking to the balls."

There was orgasm faking—with different vowel sounds, for good measure—masturbation talk and more. All in all, "Anna Faris Is Unqualified" got off to a raunchy, hilarious and genuinely well-intentioned start.
