#747: Seth Godin and Dr. Sue Johnson

Okay, this is gonna be part confessional, as some of you know. I am recently single and navigating the world of modern dating. What a joy that is. Sometimes it's fun, but it's mostly a goddamn mess, as many of you probably know. I've tried all the dating apps and while there's some slick options out there, the most functional that I have found is the league. I've been using it for a few months now. And I found some great matches. I am going to use this ad, this sponsor read, to selfishly share my own profile with the ladies listening to this podcast. My handle is Tim Tim.

That's uh At Tim Tim or just Tim Tim. I think you can search by person and just put in Tim Tim and you'll find me. And uh then you can match with me. I'll tell you more about what I'm looking for in a bit. But before that, why did I end up using the league? First, most dating apps give you almost no information. It's a huge time suck. On the league, you're starting with a baseline of smart people and you can then easily find the ones you're attracted to. It's much easier. It's like going to a conference where everyone is smart and then just looking for the people you think are cute to go up and speak with. So more than half of the league users went to top forty colleges and you can make your filters really selective. So if that's important to you, then Go for it. It does work. And that is one of the reasons that I use it. Second, people verify using LinkedIn. So you can make sure they have a job and don't bounce around every six months. It's a simple proxy for finding people who have their shit together. It's infinitely easier.

than trying to figure things out on Instagram or whatever. Third, you can search by interest and in multiple locations. I haven't found any other dating app that allows you to do this. So for instance, I usually search for women who love skiing or snowboarding. Have those as interests as I like to spend say two to three months of the year in the mountains. I'm a rivers and mountains guy. The UI is a little clunky, I'll warn you, but it's incredibly helpful for finding good matches and not just pretty faces. So you can search by interest and specify multiple cities. So to summarize a few things that I think Make it stand out. Features available in the league include multi-city dating.
