We know you love the science of dating so now it's time to look at all the data! We're chatting with Michael Kaye from OKCupid about the trends he's seeing on dating apps as we approach mid-term elections and cuffing season. We discuss how what people are looking for has dramatically shifted over the years, top tips to maximize your profile on any dating app, and why this time of year is one of the best times to be dating online.

Follow Michael @michaelkayepr and OKCupid @okcupid. Michael is also giving Dateable listeners a free upgrade to premium if you create an OKCupid profile and email him at [email protected] and say you heard him on Dateable. You're welcome!
