Hold on.

Which character, though?

What about you?

You know, looking back, I think I'm like a Charlotte Miranda split.

I have like the cynicism of Miranda, but I ultimately like secretly believed in love and was dating to find the love of my life like Charlotte.

Like I was not playing around.

I play entirely too much.

You know what?

Actually, I think you might be right about that.

The dating apps seem to be struggling right now.

That's Greg Wazowski.

He's a writer and reporter at NPR's economics podcast, Planet Money.

And he wrote a story a few years ago about this, why a lot of users feel like dating apps have gotten worse.

And I chatted with him about it.

I should also disclose here too, I met my husband on OkCupid back when it was still a website.

Also, dating online does work for a lot of other people besides just me and Greg.

As of 2023, 20% of partnered adults in your age bracket between 18 and 29 met online, according to Pew.

You really are on these HBO shows from the 90s.

That leads me to another of Greg's points.

Would you say you've been scared away from the apps by those kinds of people or like by weirdos in general?
