The Swipe Cycle_ Why Modern Dating Feels Like a Marathon

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

If you have ever felt like scrolling through your dating apps is more of a chore than a hobby, you are definitely not alone. Research shows that nearly 80 percent of app users are feeling the weight of what psychologists call dating burnout.

That is choice overload, and it is a major factor in why we find it so hard to commit or even feel satisfied with a match. We are constantly second-guessing, wondering if someone better is just one swipe awayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
