Manuela López-Restrepo

And how was that?

You know, I'm not going to lie.

At times it was good.

I think it serves a function, especially after graduating and moving to New York post-pandemic.

Everybody was eager to meet up and do stuff and get out of the house.

And I was going on dates.

I was meeting interesting, hot people.

I was living my little sex in the city life.

I think I have a lot of the same self-hating tendencies as Carrie.

You know, girl writer in the city who makes bad decisions.

It just resonates with me.

But anyway, after a while of that, it felt like something shifted.

I feel like I sort of watched malaise sort of sweep into the dating scene.

And I have a theory that this shift aligned with the deeper monetization of these apps.

And I'm so happy for you guys and everybody else, I guess.

But, you know, when it comes to finding your match on dating apps, I really relate to that thing that Tony Soprano says to Dr. Melfi in the pilot of The Sopranos.

A woman after my own heart.

You know, like Tony said, the best is already over.

But back to Greg's reporting, please.

I want to hear this.
