Online dating, with all its potential - and potential for disappointment - is the hot topic of this latest installment of TYT Interviews, hosted by The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian. For this episode, Ana sits down and gets real with:
- Lauren Urasek, holder of the vaunted title of “Most Messaged Girl on OKCupid” and author of “Popular: The Ups and Downs of Online Dating from the Most Popular Girl in New York City,” a collection of essays based on her online dating experiences.
and
- Robyn Lynne Norris. creator of “Undateable/#DateMe – an OKCUPID Experiment,” the most successful show in Second City’s (LA) history.
The three discuss their disparate online dating experiences - the good, the bad and the ugly relationship truths facing millennials seeking love in a dating world where one’s soulmate could always be just one more swipe away.
Also discussed:
- How Lauren wound up as “The Most Messaged Girl on OKCupid”
- How “Undateable” arose purely by accident from Robyn’s efforts to create the most undesirable online dating profile imaginable
- Ana’s disappointing experience going on numerous dates with a guy who wouldn’t respond to her romantic advances.
- Other online dating horror stories
- Tips for creating an online profile that’s both honest and attractive.
