Two best friends who live together — both divorced — say prospective men they date should be aware that the two women “come as a package.”
Best friends Marissa Baker, 31, and Patty Kulak, 28, moved in together after separating from their partners in 2021, SWNS reported.
The pair have said they are “platonic soul mates.”

They also claim they are often mistaken for a couple — with people constantly asking if they’re in a relationship because they get along so well, as SWNS also noted.
The friends moved in together in Naples, Florida in May 2021. They say they go on “friendship dates”, play sports together, and do household chores together.

Now they’ve decided to help each other get back into the dating scene – and they’re letting everything slide past each other.
Baker told SWNS in an interview that they are “like wives” — telling potential dates that they “come as a package.”
Kulak, who works in local government planning, told SWNS, “Dating is so interesting.”

She said that since the women are “always together”, prospective male dates are starting to realize “that this isn’t just a roommate situation”.

She said it’s more than just having a best friend. It’s about ‘a partnership here’.
The two women told SWNS that they met on January 1, 2021 at Baker’s birthday party. Between January of that year and May 2021, both women divorced their significant others, they said.

Baker said she and her best friend have the “freedom to be ourselves,” as SWNS reported.
They both like ‘positivity and personal development’.
She added, “We have fun together, we laugh together, I can be weird. I’m messy sometimes – there’s no one to judge or criticize me.”

The best friends said they “do self-care… We put time into things we’re passionate about.” (SWNS)
The women told SWNS that they each explained on a date, “Hey, we’re a package deal.”
The pair revealed that what works so well for them is that they both love “positivity and personal development,” SWNS reported.

Kulak said, “I love that when I get home, this is my safe place… When I turn onto my street (right now), I’m like, ‘Oh, my God,’ I want to run home and tell Marissa about my day because I get to be this authentic version of myself.”
