“Swiping gave us power, play, and paradox. It made love fast, gamified, and addictive. But as dating evolves past the swipe, one thing remains: the search for connection. Whether with a swipe, a tap, or an AI introduction, the question is the same: will this be the one?”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
“Swiping gave us power, play, and paradox. But as love goes beyond the swipe, the story of dating becomes more about trust in technology versus trust in ourselves. Maybe the next big romance won't come from swiping at all… but from letting the future of tech — or fate — surprise us.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
If you identify as a strong, independent woman who is 100% fine being alone, this one is for you… Because I'm calling bullshit. Being single is not the same thing as being alone. And sure, maybe you're fine being single…but what do you fill that gap with? TV? Social media scrolling? Going out with friends? Swiping on the apps until your weekend is booked up? “Wait, you want me to sit there, alone, with nothing to distract me from feeling a real, genuine EMOTION for once? I think the FUCK NOT.” Yeah. That's what I fucking thought. Most people cannot stand actually being alone with themselves. But if you made yourself sit with your sadness, your anger, whatever it is…you might actually discover that feeling all the feels, even the ones we're so terrified to feel, is a deeply beautiful thing.

This week, Damona takes on a question from longtime listener Vernee, who's back in the dating scene after a hiatus… and hitting a wall when it comes to finding someone who shares her political and social justice values. Vernee asks: "I'm politically progressive, very values-driven, and living in a purple state. I've tried everything — hints in my profile, direct chats — but nothing's working. Where are the men who believe what I believe?" If you've ever wondered how to communicate what matters without scaring people off — or how to find someone who's actually aligned — this one's for you. In this episode: • Why dating apps might feel harder now than they did just a few years ago • How political identity and core values have become deeply intertwined • What to say in your profile (and what to leave out) • Why texting about politics rarely works — and what to try instead • Where to meet values-aligned people beyond the apps • The line between staying open-minded and lowering your standards Submit your question: call or text 424-246-6255 Follow Damona on IG: @damonahoffman Get your free Date Tracker at damonahoffman.com Order F the Fairytale on Amazon, B&N, or from your local bookseller Learn more about your ad choices.

Just a few years ago, Bumble was the darling of dating tech — bold and IPO-hot. But fast-forward to 2025, and the app’s charm is fading. Stock's down over 80% from its peak. This week? A 30% layoff, a CEO shakeup, and a stock bounce back to $6.52 after hitting lows near $5. Join Dan Koh and Audrey Siek as they unpack Bumble’s attempt to woo back investors — from mass layoffs to product overhauls — all while the dating app industry itself might be falling out of love with growth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 3, Willard and Dibs continue to discuss Dillon Brooks' swipes at Steph Curry's injured thumb, debate if it's dirty, break down if it's normal to see things like that in professional sports, and more.
Take this as your invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself a few questions, like: “What am I really looking for in love?” “Is the way I'm dating aligned with my vision?” And most importantly – “Am I the one standing in my way?” Because it's not just the ambiguities of the dating apps, the confusing texts, or even the ghosting. It's also the emotional weight you carry. The unrealistic expectations. The habit of clinging to a “type” or trying to be what someone else wants instead of honoring what you actually need in love. Dating in midlife isn't about chasing old dating stories, or finding someone to complete you. It's about honoring the version of yourself you've worked so hard to become. In Episode 67: What Are You Really Looking For in Love?, I'm getting honest about:Why dating can feel exhausting (especially in midlife).The sneaky emotional patterns that keep you stuck.How to realign your actions with your values, and shift your dating experience for good. This episode is a loving reminder that you don't need to work harder at dating. You just need to start dating differently.✨ If you've been feeling heavy in your search for love, this one's your reset. It's time to date in a way that actually feels good, and is aligned with what you want, instead of doom swiping your way into giving up entirely. And while you're in a Finding Love flow, don't forget to grab your FREEBIE downloads. From transforming your mindset to curating your dating profile, these free guides will help you show up as your most empowered, aligned, and confident. Go grab one now!
In a recent Instagram post, I spoke about how many of my clients hold a fear that a relationship will swallow them whole. This isn't a misconception, as many of them have completely lost themselves in prior relationships. Also identifying as people pleasers, they've historically had a hard time operating authentically in their relationships, be they romantic, platonic, professional or (most of all) familial.Because of this, it's crucial, when it comes to dating, that we double down on their ability to authentically express themselves. One of the first and most common areas that can be worked on is in the act of swiping. And with that, I'm a proponent of leaning into swiping...left. Yep, left. Listen to find out why I find it to be so empowering and how to differentiate between an authentic "I don't want to swipe right on this person," versus the ever elusive "being too picky."Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge
On this episode, host Sima Vasa talks to Ian Ash, Co-Founder of Dig Insights, about the intersection of AI and market research, the evolution of Restech, and the importance of balancing technology with human expertise. With over a decade's experience leading Dig Insights, Ian shares his perspective on how AI reshapes research processes and why human oversight remains critical. He reflects on the parallels between storytelling in comedy and storytelling in research, emphasizing that whether it's data or humor, connection and clarity are the keys. Key Takeaways: (02:09) Dig Insights' journey from startup to private equity-backed growth. (05:35) The importance of maintaining research rigor despite industry pressures. (08:10) Large scales don't guarantee better insights, just higher correlations. (12:22) Swiping-based surveys introduced choice and engagement. (15:46) Research needs exist along a flexible service continuum. (18:40) Effective AI requires context and customization. (20:22) Synthetic data performs better in sentiment analysis than research.

“There's no time like the present,” is an adage President Donald Trump appears to have taken to heart. Trump has been in office for less than a month and has successfully managed to keep every political journalist in America working overtime to keep up with the slew of actions. Open Google Maps on your phone and zoom out. The Gulf of Mexico is now The Gulf of America. Biden administration DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is long gone, replaced by Secretary Kristi Noem, who this week “clawed back” $59 million FEMA allocated to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in New York City. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is exposing waste in D.C. and actively shrinking a federal government that did nothing but balloon for the past four years. So far, all of Trump's cabinet picks, including Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have been confirmed, and all have pledged to restore common sense to the American government.
