Thirst trapping

from The Hook Up · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Have you ever posted a hot pic of yourself just to get the likes or spite an ex? It’s called thirst trapping, and while men and women are snapping away, does this actually work to get the attention of the person you want? And what does it say about they way we communicate now? Soon you’ll hear from some listeners who’ve seen the positives and negatives of the thirst trap. We ask clinical psychologist, Mai Dao if this new way of people meeting has surprised her, and ask if this can be a tad narcissistic.
