Alec Dives into "The Dating Market" - a podcast by WNYC Studios

Writers Kaitlyn Tiffany and Ashley Fetters may be the country’s most astute observers of modern romance.  Fetters even wrote the definitive history of Tinder.  Alec discovered their jointly written article, The ‘Dating Market’ Is Getting Worse, published in February, 2020, and knew he had to talk to them.  The writers talked to historians and sociologists to analyze the use of concepts like “market value” and “supply and demand” in thinking about romance.  They conclude that our sense that we can measure and control the "numbers game" makes us less happy and perhaps less likely to find true love.  They bring their own personal dating experiences and their deep research to a funny and fascinating Zoom conversation with Alec.
