What a brilliant talk! The honesty and truth she delivers is like the pragmatic cousin of Alain de Botton’s philosophical thoughts on love. Just wonderful!
1:37 is the perfect description of how I imagined love until I was at least 35! No wonder it took me so long to figure out how to be in a healthy relationship.
Look, humans have been taking a whimsical approach to love for decades and, statistically speaking, it's not going well. So I'm all for this scientific approach!
Derek, I agree. Empirically, though, people seem to adjust to what they can get. Therefore, the trick is to influence the ‘what you can get’ by choosing your circumstances.
"Who you meet matters more than what you want." I understand what she's saying but it's such a brash way of putting it. How about, seeing people for who they are instead of what you want them to be?
I get where she's coming from and I can see the merit in it but.... I don't know. It just seems a bit... cold? Clinical? Maybe I've been brainwashed by Disney or something but I don't think love should be this logical.
The economics of love - this is a subject I had never even considered! What a brilliant perspective
Time to, don't you think Janky?
This is so true, and why have so few people seen this? This is worth sharing and I will.
good send JP!
Thank you!

Makes much sense. There must have been many of us.. :-)
Oh my word! What a fun talk! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and now feel like I have a bit of information to improve my dating odds.
Thank you, Baby Pink! So glad you found it useful.

I love this talk, she is so cool and in touch!
Excellent talk.
This might be beneficial for some people but I think it's better to just be single than to settle for something less than what you want.

Maybe I'm missing the point of t his talk entirely but it seems like she's just advising people to compromise?

Where was she when I was looking for the right woman?
