Tips from adating coachandonline dating app consultant.
Over the years I have stumbled on a variety of resources, articles, stories, anecdotes, and books covering dating culture, online dating, regional trends and more. Some of these can be found referenced on corresponding blog posts and pages on my site but I have consolidated them here for you on this page.
These are not endorsements nor recommendations but rather a library of well-rounded information for those looking to get a detailed set of views, opinions and studies. There is a lot of bad advice out there but these are ones I come back to and suggest to clients in addition toposts on my blog including this exhaustive step by step checklist on online dating success factors.
- Tawkify is one unique online matchmaking service provider. It does not have too many frills and the service is easy to understand. It is perfect for young singles who are always on the go and only have little time for dating. For these reasons, joining Tawkify is worth giving a try.
- Rather than throwing yourself out on multiple dating sights, wondering if people are even being honest about who they are, you get to set the preference and let someone else do the work. Tawkify works with you personally to determine what is important in your life and what your are looking for in companionship.
- Tawkify is a terrible dating service and has very questionable business practices. I signed up on July 18, at the price of $6,288.00 and was promised I would get 2.quality. dates per month in NYC.
- Tawkify provides a high touch dating experience for its users, giving them quality matches and unique dates with minimal investment by the user. Clients enjoy more privacy than sites where their profiles are publicly browsable while saving stress, effort, and time.

Best Online Dating Podcasts
Maureen O’Connor(New York Magazine’s Sex Lives Podcast). Unfortunately this podcast is no longer producing new episodes (DAMN IT MAUREEN!) but you can still access the podcast on most apps, the link above points to her site which lists some of her favorite episodes that cover contemporary culture around sex (not focused on dating apps but does some episodes do). Definitely worth listening to. iTunes Link
Documentaries (Video), Shows
HBO’s Swiped – Hooking Up In The Digital Age. Author Nancy Jo Sales investigates the online dating industry’s impact on gender issues, examining how it has changed the way people date and mate and think about the apps on their phones, and exploring how the act of swiping affects the ability to find true and lasting connections.

Books on Dating, Conversations with Strangers
Read Modern Romanceby Aziz Ansari and American Sociologist from New York University professor Eric Klinenberg. Anecdotal observations, investigative studies about dating culture specifically online dating culture from the lens of a guy living in NYC. Outrageous stories, quirky examples of the pleasures and perils of dating in the digital age. Available on book as well as on audiobook (one of the few audiobooks that are done justice).
Malcolm Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers.This book is a great read and helps to shed insight on why people have a hard time reading and analyzing strangers whether its on one meeting or knowing someone for a period of time. Many people have reservations about meeting people through dating apps, but dating apps are merely a channel, deception can occur offline as well.
Online Dating Studies, Statistics, Psychology Research
The Economist – How the Internet Has Changed Online Dating. This article shows how technology and app culture has impacted how people meet, behave and interact. Fascinating take only the way the Economist can do it.
This Atlantic article (A Psychologist Guide to Online Dating) is a great source for delving into the world of online dating and how it affects the mind. It’s a primer on the pitfalls, limitations and shortsightedness of dating apps.
Dating App Fatigue, The Atlanticarticle is another great read especially for those on dating apps for a long time and either don’t get likes and matches, meet the wrong people or start to have aspects of their lives deteriorate. An intro guide to the psychological effects of long-term dating app usage and what happens when you use this as your only method for meeting women and stop using offline techniques.

Online Dating Articles
Looking Too Intense by Photofeeleris a must for all guys planning on using dating apps. It discusses the ways guys self-sabotage their photos by trying too hard to look macho, sexy, confident in their photos. Although I don’t agree with using Photofeeler to make all your dating choices with respect to photos, this article is one of two I recommend reading.
Asking Friends for Opinions on Your Pics/Profiles? Why You Should Stop by Photofeeler– this is the other article I recommend reading before setting up a dating profile. It shows the biases that are presented when asking friends for help with photos. Note that most people don’t even show their profiles to anyone – I am usually the first person they seek help from.
Photofeeler’s Why Selfies Make You Look Bad– Pretty obvious but this goes into some technical reasons why to ditch selfies as well as briefly touching on why they are bad from a societal and cultural standpoint.
Online Dating: Are You Attracting the Right Type– This article talks about what people signal and what they attract through their profiles. Not super comprehensive but it does touch upon the pillars from which I try to coach folks on their dating efforts. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/between-the-sheets/201906/online-dating-are-you-attracting-the-right-type
Why Women Keep Ignoring Your Online Dating Messages– this CNET articles is more of an advice column with a Q&A design but it does hammer home some key tips on why most men struggle with messaging women.
New Yorker’s Rage of the Incelsis a dark but necessary look into the lives of involuntary celibates (incels). Not exclusive to online dating but an insightful read nonetheless.
Atlantic Article – Why Smart, Successful People Aren’t Happy In Life
Huffington Post: In Partisan 2019, Listing ‘Moderate’ (Politics) Can Hurt You On Dating Apps. Pretty insightful read, infers many conservatives list moderate to avoid automatic left-swipe.
The Atlantic: The Dating Market Is Getting Worst: Looks at dating over time and the problems with abundance of choice, time spent on apps, incels, etc.

Matchmaker, Ghostwriter Reviews
Most matchmakers use Trustpilot for their main review source. Ido not trust Trustpilot reviews. Google and Yelp reviews are more in line with actual results but even then make sure there is a substantial number of reviews from people, with photos, full names, and more than 1 review each. As someone who is familiar with matchmakers (see my interview in the NYTimes), it’s important to ask the right questions and read the fine print.
Yelp actually filters reviews for people who are new to the site, don’t have many reviews, lack photos or activity on the site. Read these complaints about their practices here. You won’t look at their reviews the same way again.Quora on Trustpilot Trustpilot Reviews Trustpilot Analysis BBC Trustpilot Watchdog Report
