Dating Apps, Part 2
To say that dating apps are the same as meeting someone in real life is bollocks according to the 2 LADS. We learned that last week in the first part of their discussion on online dating. So go back and have a listen to that now if you missed it. Then come settle in for the second part of the discussion where Leggy gets into his personal experience with dating apps, Daniel recounts a few more adventures from his own online dating days and the LADS continue to work through why they believe dating apps are all taste and no substance, like having a big mac over a quinoa bowl.
The 2 LADS podcast tackles big topics with brutal honesty and vulnerability; replacing shame and guilt with truth and love in the quest for emotional and spiritual growth. These conversations are unflinching, uncomfortable, funny... and ongoing.
JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:
(01:52) - The ritual of meeting people IRL - “That process is a needed and necessary part of intimacy.”
(04:01) - Leggy on dating apps - “I was giving it too much credit, the app world.”
(13:38) - Women and dating apps - “Women now, I think they'd rather you meet them on the app.”
(15:18) - Daniel’s dating app shenanigans - “I knew it was getting bad.”
(17:05) - Keys to the kingdom - “If you could hand that to anyone, they would want it initially, and then they would go, ‘I don't want this anymore.’”
(19:53) - Addiction based - “These people that are making these apps are very very smart. And it's all built into the system for you to pay to get the hit, to get the dopamine hit, to get more likes, get more appreciation. All from the comfort of your fucking armchair.”
(23:04) - Autonomizing our humanity - “We're outsourcing the ability to be intimate.”
(24:15) - We need our own village - “You need your own village, a small amount of people that can hold you accountable.”
