Episode 27: Robot? Human? You Decide.



Thanks to our guest poster for sharing her own dating misadventures! 

So I try out this new dating app (which will go unnamed, but think “bee”) and it is supposed to allow the woman to decide who they want to communicate with. You pick the age range and how far in distance you want to travel to meet someone. Then, the algorithm (not sure if it was developed by CIA or FBI) does its thing and up pops your potential matches. You either swipe left for “not in a million years” or swipe right for “sure, you don’t look like a serial killer”. If your potential match also liked you, then you get to look at his profile and start up a conversation. It’s totally a superficial way to pick a date, but what the heck.
