Lauren Good: Also I think there is a bright place, there will probably be some of the applications that are very specific to people to help people who seek and find someone who wants what they want, is it a one who shares super niche interests or Cultural values or even disability, people who are just like “, I need to find someone who actually understands it.” I think there are a lot of positive positive positives in the dating for that.
Michael Toal: Yes. Another place that makes some interesting improvements to the application experience pass through the match, basically give you a smaller subset of people who think you will match best. Instead of just showing you an old algorithm, there is also this new algorithm that gives you a better choice and that is interesting. So I don’t think these things will stop people to use applications, and I don’t think I need to make any other application problems disappear, but they could lead to more significant relationships faster they happen for people.
Lauren Good: We’ll leave that on a positive note, make guys? We’ll give all the people looking for love, something they hope for.
Michael Toal: Hug.
Lauren Good: We are like: “Look, no one else uses apps. The income is excluded, executable shake, scams, spam, bots, but keep watching.”
Michael Toal: Buy a ticket, drive yourself. Embrace AI Matchmaker and AI chatbot. May he do all the work for you. All right, so let’s close us, we turn ourselves back to return to IRL Dating and we go to meet. What is the ideal place to meet someone?
Zoë Schiffer: I mean, I met a husband at the book club and I thought it was a pretty good place.
Lauren Good: That’s pretty good. God, I don’t know. I would probably tell a friend or something. Or maybe something like a piano bar, then you have to understand whether the person is there because they are ironic or are really in the piano.
Michael Toal: And they would probably be good, would they?
Lauren Good: Of course. Yes.
Michael Toal: Somehow you want a person who is sincerely sincerely there, and you want a person who is there, ironically.
Lauren Good: Yes.
Michael Toal: I would say that he is probably the best place to meet someone on a bike.
Lauren Good: It’s hard to have a conversation.
Michael Toal: However, there are groups of groups.
Zoë Schiffer: Oh, right. And after that there is always coffee and pastries.
Michael Toal: There is always coffee and pastries after that.
Zoë Schiffer: That’s good.
Lauren Good: I like that.
Michael Toal: No one said Instagram.
Lauren Good: No. No one is.
Michael Toal: Slide into those DMS people, valentine’s day.
Lauren Good: It seems to me like a good place to end.
