"LaZebnik, 31, likes how nice and caring Ohioans tend to be. They're "Golden Retriever boys," he says, who give great hugs and seem to be eternally optimistic - a nice balance, he finds, to his biting Jewish sarcasm. Again and again, he'll ask dates where they're from and receive the same answer. Once, his date said he was actually from Kentucky, which gave LaZebnik pause until he clarified that he was from northern Kentucky, which is part of the Cincinnati metro area."
"Last year, Johnny came up with an idea - something that started as a joke but soon turned into reality: a self-described "slut tour" of the Buckeye State wherein he could escape the LA dating scene and fully immerse himself in Midwestern men. This July, he posted about his plans on TikTok and Instagram, with a PowerPoint presentation that went viral."
Johnny LaZebnik, a 31-year-old Los Angeles-born TV writer, repeatedly prefers dating men from Ohio for their kindness, optimism, and affectionate nature. He created a self-described "slut tour" of the Buckeye State to escape the LA dating scene and meet Midwestern men in person. LaZebnik posted a PowerPoint about the plan on TikTok and Instagram, which went viral, then set his Hinge profile to Columbus and Cleveland, matched with many men, and scheduled daily dates. In September he spent ten days on the trip, went on nine dates, spent about $2,000, and found many attractive, single, and kind partners.
