So something that I learned by working on this show is the idea that dating is a skill and you can get better at it. And just because you get older doesn't mean you automatically know how to do it. So it's like you don't wake up on your 50th birthday and know how to make a delicious French meal. You don't wake up on your 50th birthday and know how to date.

And so actually just taking this approach of this is hard for me. I've struggled with this. This is an area of my life I haven't figured out, but I can work on it. I hope that for your friend and for other people, that's really empowering because it means it's an area where they can grow.

Sure. So I studied psychology at Harvard, and I'm really interested in how people think and how people make decisions. So at first I applied that in the corporate world, and I worked at Google, and I ran Google's behavioral science team called the Irrational Lab. So that's really understanding who we are and how we make decisions, often in ways that are not in our own best interest.

But then I'd always had this lifelong interest in dating and relationships. And so at a certain point, I said, this is my dream. I'm not getting any younger. And so I quit my corporate job, which was at the time at Airbnb. And I said, I'm just going to give myself a year to see if I can make this into a career. And so I started by being... a coach and working with people one-on-one.

I turned that into research for my book. And what my book does, it takes the best of the behavioral science research, how we make decisions, and the best of the relationship science research, why we love who we love, how relationships work. And I combine the two. And so it's really a relationship book that's focused on the best research and data that's out there.

And then from there, I got my job at Hinge, where I'm the director of relationship science. And I get to do this all day. I get to think about dating, research dating, look at trends in dating, and then talk directly to Hinge users and daters around the world about how to date better.

So the data shows that dating apps really are helping people meet. Since 2017, the number one way that couples meet is online, and that's research from Stanford. Michael J. Rosenfeld is a sociologist there. That being said, of course, this is technology, and people can misuse technology, and I think it really can create some... difficult expectations for people. There's a paradox of choice issue.

And so I would say overall, way more people are meeting because of dating apps. It used to be that you had access to Bill and Belinda down the street or, you know, maybe the person that you worked with. And now you have access to a way larger pool of people. Right. And that's especially helpful if you're in what's called a thin dating market. So we're harder to meet people. And what does that mean?
