And so, yeah, I think the apps are just filtering for the wrong things. And I think if you have ways to meet people in the real world, you should absolutely lean into that.

The other piece of advice I give to single people all the time is sit down, write down a list of all the things you want in a partner, and then take that list, prioritize that list from most important to least important with the absolute top two or three items should be kind of non-negotiables. Like, I'd rather be single than date a person without these traits.

Mark whatever is non-negotiable to you and then delete the rest of the list. and only look for the things that are non-negotiable. Because what I see over and over again these days, and again, it ties into the perception of so many options, is that people will meet somebody great

They'll check all of the non-negotiable boxes, but then there's some very superficial thing, quote unquote, wrong with them. That's like number 12 on the list. It's like, oh, well, you know, their parents are from this state and I don't want to have to travel there on holidays. And they're done. It's ridiculous.

People break up with each other, stop dating each other for the stupidest, most inconsequential, unimportant reasons. So... Find your list of non-negotiables. Delete everything else off the list. Those are all nice to haves. They're not must-haves. And understand that even if you find the perfect partner, they're still going to drive you crazy like 10% of the time. That's just life. That's humans.
