FOMO Sapiens with Patrick J. McGinnis 14. How to Not Die (or Wake Up) Alone
Logan Ury, Director of Relationship Science for the dating app Hinge and author of "How to Not Die Alone" discusses the evolution of dating apps and their use during COVID-19 - a period during which most of us have felt more alone than ever.
She talks about how her background in behavioral psychology has helped her use data-driven evidence in her research of online dating and finding the key to a happy relationship.
She also gives us her take on the three common dating personas that people embody when looking for their "ideal" relationship: the romanticizer, the maximizer, and the hesitator. Logan and Patrick discuss how FOBO - or the "Fear of a Better Option" - can play a big role in how some people approach dating and how FOBO can also lead individuals down a never-ending search for that "perfect match."
Finally, Logan provides her take on how she thinks that dating will evolve in the future - from more video dating via apps to increased gender fluidity and types of dating among Gen Z daters.
