Episode notes
Algorithms Help Short-Term, Not Long-Term
- Algorithms can help surface people you might get along with but struggle to predict long-term compatibility.
- Relationship science lacks definitive answers about who will be right for someone ten years later.
Expand Filters And Prioritize Values
- Open your filters and expand criteria like height, age, and location to increase options.
- Prioritize core values and long-term goals over superficial profile features.
Desirability Is A Hidden Rating
- Apps infer desirability by tracking who swipes right or left on your profile and who those people are.
- Platforms group users by perceived desirability to improve match rates and engagement.
