Episode notes
Burn The Haystack Metaphor
- Burned Haystack flips the needle-in-a-haystack metaphor: eliminate noise to reveal dateable people.
- Blocking to remove unfit profiles is the method's central tactic to reduce wasted effort.
Use The App Intentionally
- Treat dating apps as a tool with limited, intentional use to protect your time and mental health.
- Set strict boundaries (e.g., short swipe sessions) so the app doesn't control you.
Focus On Messaging
- Prioritize messaging over profile gloss; conversations reveal the behaviors you can't see in bios.
- Use message patterns to decide whether to advance, block, or meet in person.
