Netflix's 'Age of Attraction,' 'Love Is Blind' participants from Canton and Cleveland talk TV dating

Canton native seeks to find out if a relationship with a younger man can work for her on Netflix's age-based dating show, "Age of Attraction" When it comes to love, is age just a number? A new Netflix dating show, "Age of Attraction," is trying to answer that question by giving people the opportunity to connect while at a beautiful resort in Canada, without revealing their ages. On Monday's episode of the "Sound of Ideas," we'll talk with participant and Canton native Vanessa Drozda, 50, about her experience with this social experiment. According to the Pew Research Center, heterosexual married couples are trending toward becoming closer in age. But just because it might not be resulting in marriage for most people, doesn't mean Americans aren't exploring relationships with people in different age brackets. An Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Cougar Life in 2024 showed that many American adults have been in relationships with an age-gap of 10 or more years. That was Vanessa's experience while starring on the show, as she turned 50 a few months ago, and is seen on the show dating Logan Goodrid, who is twenty years younger than her. Guest:- Vanessa Drozda, Salon owner and "Age of Attraction" participant Clevelanders test theory that love can bloom without initial physical attraction on Netflix's "Love Is Blind" Netflix's "Love Is Blind " is a long -running dating show where people get a chance to try to connect without seeing each other in person, and two Clevelanders gave it a shot on the most recent season featuring an all-Ohio cast. What happens when you like what you hear from someone, before you can put a face to their name? On Monday's edition of the "Sound of Ideas," we'll talk with Clevelanders Michael Gibney and Ashley Carpenter who lived this reality, and neither ended up saying "I do" to their matches on the show after coming face to face.
