Modern Dating — What Apps Get Wrong (and How to Meet Real People) with Matt Cook
Description
Modern dating tools are designed to optimize connection. What if they're optimizing the wrong things?
In this episode, I talk with Matt Cook about relationships, health, and long-term connection—not as lifestyle topics - as systems to understand.
• What dating apps optimize and what they don't
• How health, chemistry, and environment shape relationships
• Why connection breaks down even as options increase
• What sustains long-term intimacy and what interferes with it
This isn't about rejecting or promoting dating apps. It's about understanding whether they solve the right problem. Because more options don't always lead to better outcomes if the system is misaligned.
