This week I interview Chris Best – the previously unnamed dating app expert referenced in episode 1 (“Interstates & Tinder Dates”). Here to reveal the science and strategy behind the wisdom he’s shared with my premiere guest Denzel Walkes (and to refute claims that he is a sex addict), Chris dives straight into the scientific, if unromantic, truths behind how dating apps actually work. Chris’ insights serve to break us out of the damaging trap of tying emotional well-being into our experience on the app, through exposure into the degree of control that the app engineers hold, and candid discussions about what we can do to break free from that control (HINT: it involves money). This discussion is perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered “where did all of the attractive people go?” while swiping, who struggle to maintain momentum when they DO get an attractive match, or who have simply experienced the feeling of disillusionment around the app experience as a whole.
