It doesn't quite work out.
You get tired of swiping every day.
And then the other is I want to find love, but I don't even want to use the apps.
I don't meet anyone, and I'm just getting older, and now I'm worried that I'm getting older.
And you see both of those, and they both lead to this sense of exhaustion and depletion and enthusiasm to go out there and get someone.
And people are channeling that toward their career, friends, their family, whatever it may be, instead of solving the part of their puzzle of their life that they feel is eluding them and not delivering.
How would you encourage people to get out of that exhaustion that's coming from the overexposure and the insane amount of choice
but then also feeling like just one of the choice for someone else as well.
So I think that the looking for a soulmate on an app has been explored, actually.
The kind of paradox of choice, the I can do better, what else is around the corner, the transactional nature of so much.
I think that has been exposed, actually.
But I see new sources of exhaustion.
Please tell me.
What this does, when I have perfection in my hand, a list, no doubt, no need to explore.
I'm not going to take the wrong direction and find that, wow, there's a restaurant I had never even seen existed there because Waze has told me to go a certain way.
My issue is that I start to bring these very same expectations for perfection and prediction into my relationships with other humans.
Now I want you to react with me the same way.
And otherwise I have ick factors.
Yeah, we'll talk about that.
Okay.
