Why Is Everyone Craving “Chalant Dating?” Uncut with Logan Ury

We’ve done a lot of episodes about dating in the past. We’ve actually done a few about dating with today’s guest! But we’ve recently had a bit of feedback that some of you in the dating scene are really struggling to find the motivation to keep dating at the moment. Some of you feel exhausted. Others feel a bit hopeless, and it turns out, you’re not alone. There has been a big cultural shift in what women want when it comes to dating and it’s got a trendy new name - “chalant dating”.

To break it down with us we have friend of the podcast Logan Ury here! Logan is a Harvard trained behavioural scientist, dating expert, author, host of Netflix’s“The Later Daters,” and Hinge's lead Relationship Scientist. Logan has spent years and years unpacking the science behind dating and finding successful relationships.

We speak about:

• The dating trends that we’re going to see in 2026
• What is chalant dating?
• Why do we want chalant dating more than what a potential future partner might earn or even look like?
• Why there seems to be a mismatch in expectations between men and women
• The toilet paper test
• The actual green flags around planning energy we should look for
• What are the ‘successful’ people doing on dating apps at the moment?
• Do you feel like you’re ‘undateable?’
• The steps you can take if you’re feeling burnout from dating
• The switch from a ‘soulmate’ mindset to a ‘work it out’ mindset
• How AI will change the dating landscape
• Summer dating trends, cuffing season and what we tend to see when it gets colder
