Swipe Left, No Swipe Right, No

Dating apps are accused of being ‘addictive’. What makes us keep swiping? A class-action lawsuit filed in the United States against Match Group – the parent company of dating apps Tinder, Hinge and The League – is making headlines around the world. The claimants accuse Match of having a “predatory” business model and using “recognized dopamine-manipulating product features” to get people addicted to their apps. So, can dating apps really be addictive? Are we swiping right into a trap? Here’s the science behind how dating apps are influencing our brains. How do apps give us a dopamine hit? Dating apps, like many apps these days, are designed to keep users engaged. Like any product on the market, one of the developers’ goals is for the app to be sold and used.

Months Before Either Partner Realizes Their Relationship Is Tanking – Evidence Of An Impending Breakup May Exist In Everyday Conversation

When doubts about a relationship start to creep in, people don’t just blurt them out. They might not want to worry their partner and figure they’ll ride out what could just be a rough patch. They probably think they can hide their feelings pretty easily. But it turns out, hidden signs of their turmoil appear in the way they communicate. In our recently published study, we were able to show that people’s language subtly changes in the months and weeks leading up to a breakup – well before they’ve made a conscious decision to end things. Mining Reddit for cracks Breakups are difficult to research. They unfold over weeks, months – even years. To truly understand the dynamics of a breakup, researchers should, ideally, be able to track people’s lives before, during and after the breakup takes...

How Long Should I Wait Before Meeting My Online Date For The First Time?

There is no sense in communicating with someone endlessly, talking on the phone for hours and days, if you can just as easily do so in person to find out if you like each other. Therefore, you should try to meet up with someone you're interested in as soon as possible. In other words, within 2 weeks of striking up conversation. This prevents several things. Don't Waste Your Time First, it prevents you from wasting your time on someone with whom you have no chemistry. Let's say you spend several days and even weeks texting, or otherwise communicating with each other, not in person. Let's say you finally meet, and - woops! - there's no chemistry there for you. Talk about a let down! Here you've built up this person, thinking your first date would culminate in fireworks, because of how fun i...

So, Who Is Mr Right Anyway?

I have been a tarot reader for 23 years now, and in that time I have had the honor of being privy to thousands of people's hopes, dreams and deepest secrets. Many of my clients come to me for confirmation of what they already know, or they are at a crossroads and are stuck as to which direction to go in. Some people are married and wish they weren't, and some are single and wish they weren't. It often feels like the grass is invariably greener on the other side of the fence! Looking for Mr/Ms Right Relationships of all sorts form a large number of the reasons that both men and women seek my counsel. Some want to know if the person they are with, or who they've just met, is the right person for them, or do they have to wait for someone else to come along. I am obviously generalising here, ...

Sex, Money And Love: Romance And Dating In A Material Age

Sex, money and love: what South African university students say about romance and dating in a material age. Transactional sex – the exchange of consensual sex for material support like gifts, money or food – occurs on university campuses in many parts of the world. South Africa is no exception. Some scholars have highlighted the importance of understanding transactional sexual relationships beyond seeing it only (or mostly) as a way for young women to mitigate poverty, or because they want to enjoy the advantages of what is perceived as an elite and glamorous lifestyle. It’s more complicated than that. We came together as a trio of psychology scholars to explore how young South African female university students construct themselves as sexual beings, and negotiate dating and intimate relat...

Dr. Romance On The One Who Got Away

When Dr. Romance was a girl, growing up in the small township of Rockland, New York, there was a tiny post office, which was a small room with a separate entry in the house next door. Rockland's official postmistress was Clara Weiss, who seemed very elderly even when I was a very small child. She was what we used to call a "maiden lady" or spinster, who had dedicated her life to taking care of her mother, who was disabled, and also not quite balanced. Mrs. Weiss had one leg, and frequently escaped from the house and crawled around the yard, yelling strange things. Clara, as you might suppose, did not have much of a social life. After her mother died, and Rockland lost its tiny post office (we had to go into the slightly larger town of Roscoe, a mile away) Clara went to work in the central ...
