Dating is an activity where people around the world have enthusiastically adopted technology, embraced software over traditional face-to-face methods, and where venture capital and subsidies have played a small role in its mainstream acceptance. No longer are you constrained to the people you meet at school, on your commute, at work, at the grocery store, coffee shop, or on a night out. With dating apps, you expand your options from a handful of static possibilities to a dynamic pool that spans hundreds of miles at the tap of a button anywhere you go.
Dating apps eliminate the risky, emotionally-intensive, in-person cold approach of traditional dating in favor of a casual and detached game of swipes. Through photos and bio, you create a digital representation of yourself on dating apps. You get to showcase yourself, your personality, hobbies, interests, finest moments, and physical attributes so that potential partners are always seeing you at your best. Dating apps are more lead generators than they are matchmakers. They provide potential partners, but it’s up to you to qualify and nurture these prospects into real dates. While Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, and Grindr are the most prominent ones today, new dating apps come out every year.
Most industries are duopolies where there are 2 leaders and many small players. Markets naturally transform over time, which grants smaller players the opportunity to unseat incumbents in a constant cycle of evolution. Yet online dating is a monopoly. Modern apps like Tinder, Hinge, Meetic, The League and legacy websites like Match.com, OK Cupid, and Plenty of Fish are all actually owned by the same company. In this episode, we’ll cover not only the Tinder monopoly, but also the psychology and technology that have made online dating so popular and such a lucrative billion dollar business around the world.

This video uses sports psychology theories to explain why athletes choke under pressure. In order to perform under pressure, athletes must find and attain their own optimal level of anxiety.
I use the Cue Utilization, Multidimensional Anxiety, Yerkes-Dobson and the IZOF theories to explain the mental processes that lead us to choke under pressure. We can use these theories to gain a general understanding of what goes on in our mind in order to prepare for decisive moments in our competitions.
The key takeaway from the video is that as anxiety increases, our attention narrows. When our attention narrows, our ability to process important information needed to perform becomes momentarily impaired. This leads us to miss important information that we need to make good decisions. As we start to make mistakes, our level of anxiety increases even more, leading us to more mistakes. This continuous in a vicious cycle, leading us to choke under the pressure.
Also, when our anxiety increases, our attention can narrow to such a granular level that we begin to consciously think about performing movements that we normally perform automatically. Consciously thinking about the movement disrupts the automatic process and can result in mistakes.
In part 2 of this video, I will talk about mental and physical strategies that you can use to increase or decrease your level of anxiety at will to reach your optimal state of performance.
