How Love Really Works

Про цей епізод

<p>Most of us have ideas about what we’re looking for in a romantic partner. But psychologist <a href="https://psychology.ucdavis.edu/people/paul-eastwick" rel="noopener noreferrer">Paul Eastwick</a> says these preferences are surprisingly poor guides for finding love. He explains why attraction is so difficult to predict, and what the research suggests is the best way to meet someone with whom you'll connect. Then, in a new installment of “Your Questions Answered,” psychologist <a href="https://psyc.umd.edu/facultyprofile/lemay/edward" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ed Lemay</a> responds to your questions about how we project our own thoughts and feelings onto other people, and how these projections shape our relationships.</p><p><i>In our companion conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, we talk with Paul Eastwick about online dating apps. He says apps can powerfully shape our experience of meeting potential romantic partners — often not for the better.
