INSIGHT

Apps Create Choice And Meeting Imbalance

  • Dating apps create a paradox of choice that burns people out and skews how men and women experience matches.
  • Apps make meeting hard in person and encourage constant “next best” searching instead of commitment.
ADVICE

Bring Value And Get Out There

  • Ask what you bring, not only what you want; focus on how you can serve a future spouse.
  • Actively put yourself in new social contexts and ask friends to introduce you.
ADVICE

Let Men Initiate Early On

  • Men generally should take initiative and pursue, because many women appreciate clear leadership.
  • Women can still signal interest but often benefit from letting men lead early on.
