## Resource

Today, we dig into dating apps from every angle: the history, the numbers, the psychology behind swiping, and whether it's actually making anyone better at relationships. James shares a story about creating a fake cowboy profile for a buddy in Wyoming, explains why the whole thing just feels off to him, and we land on a take that might surprise you. Real connection isn't found in a grid of strangers. You still have to show up.
