Can Dating Apps Really Find You a Better Match?
Can dating apps help people meet more suitable partners — or do their matching claims go further than the evidence supports?
This episode explores online dating through the lens of access, compatibility, relationship intent, swipe fatigue, wellbeing, safety, and privacy. It looks at what dating apps may genuinely improve, where algorithmic matching claims become harder to support, and why the meaning of “does online dating work?” depends partly on what someone wants from the experience in the first place.
Dr. Tara Moroz also speaks with Rik Foote from HAEVN about how one newer platform is approaching intentions, compatibility, introductions, verification, privacy, and user control.
