In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why it’s impossible to ignore Valentine’s Day online and how love has been commercialised
  • The reason you no longer know what you need from a partner and how social media has warped your expectations of what a relationship should look like
  • The dangers of social stalking, judging prospects too quickly, and making assumptions about people based on what you see online
  • How you create unnecessary anxiety when you try to avoid rejection by misrepresenting yourself
  • Why your attention span isn’t what it used to be and how dating apps offer you too much choice, leading to choice overload
  • The persuasive design features employed by modern dating apps to keep you using them instead of finding love in the real world
  • Why your brain prefers cheap dopamine from a dating app to the dopamine you’d get from leaving your house to meet someone in real life
  • 10 tips to help you get the most out of your dating app experience and meet someone instead of endlessly swiping
