204. How To Make Dating Apps Work (Even If You Hate Them)

204. How To Make Dating Apps Work (Even If You Hate Them)

You don’t have to love dating apps to make them work, but you do need a grounded strategy so you don't lose your mind!
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to use dating apps without swearing off them for good every few months (only to come back again). You’ll learn the mindset shifts that make apps less frustrating, how to write a profile that actually gets attention, and what to do when the flakiness or ghosting gets to you. I also answer your top listener questions about filters, messaging, and finding emotionally available people online. Do the apps kinda suck? Yes. But do they allow you to connect with more single people? Also yes.
