Hey, it's Marielle.
I want you to raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by dating apps.
Yeah, that's a Mean Girls reference.
I am a millennial.
Sue me.
But seriously, why is it that so many people hate dating apps,
absolutely hate them, but still feel like they have to be on them?
I recently just did a talk in New York and a lot of people,
it was on relationship science and the factors of interpersonal attraction.
This is relationship scientist and marriage and family therapist, Marissa Cohen.
I had a line of people that came up to me at the end of the talk and they were saying,
I feel like I have to be on the apps.
It feels like everyone is meeting that way or there 's the expectation that I could only
find my partner using this approach.
Now, we've done a whole episode on how to date outside of the apps, and I'm a big proponent of that.
But a lot of people still want to try them.
