Raven Smith on the problem with dating apps

This week, Olivia is joined by writer and author Raven Smith to discuss the difficulties of dating apps.


Raven is a Vogue columnist and the bestselling author behind Trivial Pursuits, a memoir-meets-social commentary book that covers everything from the cultural capital of being tall to what you can tell about a person from the contents of their fridge.


In the episode, Raven explains why he would never have met his husband in the dating app era.


The two discuss how people curate a version of themselves on a dating app that can never possibly reflect who they truly are and how the saturation of users makes us less likely to settle for anyone.


Raven also highlights the bizarre - and fundamentally racist - ethnicity filters on Grindr that have only just been abolished on the app in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.
