Ep 9: How Dating Apps Failed Us (+ advice) with Steve Dean (part I)

You're not crazy, dating apps suck now, and date coach and dating industry consultant Steve Dean breaks down why. Steve takes Chelsea Bee down a wild rabbit hole of updated information on the world of dating apps. Steve's main assessment is that Tinder had a fantastic opportunity to lead the dating industry until they stopped prioritizing compatibility and replaced the industry model with the most basic forms of swipe-based attraction leading to less compatibility and more time to spend money on the app. It's not just you, dating apps made dating MORE difficult since their peak in 2014. Also discussed are fake profiles, the future of dating and AI, non-monogamy, and tips for people trying to date both online and offline. Learn more about Steve Dean at dateworking.com.
