Dr. Paul Eastwick and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the psychological dynamics of attraction and dating apps, highlighting how idiosyncratic 'hooks' and the development of shared interpersonal narratives often lead to more successful pairings than the trait-based filtering used by digital platforms.

Dr. Paul Eastwick, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a leading expert on the modern science of mate selection in humans. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
