This Is Why You Hate Dating Apps

Let's talk about the *heavy* dating app fatigue that our single friends are feeling right now.

This episode is inspired by one of my favorite creators, Danielle Walter aka The Carrie Bradshaw of SF!

Danielle said in a recent reel that "dating apps are like a full-time job" and "the pace of online dating is too fast for me right now."

This sparked today's conversation: why are people feeling so worn out by dating apps?!

We dive into how the apps can create rushed intimacy, exploit scarcity mindsets into settling for people we aren't jazzed about, and how our own upfront energy investment (aka stalking them on socials) might be contributing to the dread.

This is one of my favorite conversations to date and will cause some lightbulb moments for people who don't get why they delete and re-download Hinge every few months. 👀
