"What do you do when you’re tired of the prospect of dating? Two good friends with opposite relationship problems found themselves single at the same time. As an experiment, they dated for 40 days. Love is a central theme in humanity across time and cultures. It’s one of the main topics in music, film, novels, poetry, and art. But what exactly is it, and why do we all approach it so differently? How does it affect us so deeply that sane people have gone mad over it? The dating life in New York City can grow tiresome and wearing. Tim is afraid of commitment, often dating many girls at once, and he’s losing sight of what a healthy relationship means. Jessica is a hopeless romantic, jumping into relationships too quickly, always looking to find “the one.” It’s been said that it takes 40 days to change a bad habit. In an attempt to explore and hopefully overcome their fears and inadequacies, Tim and Jessica will go through the motions of a relationship for the next 40 days: the commitment, time, companionship, joys and frustrations. Can they help each other, or will they fall into their same habits? Will they damage their friendship? What if they fall in love?" "Jessica Walsh is a designer based in New York City. She is a hopeless romantic who jumps into relationships very quickly." "Timothy Goodman is a designer based in New York City. He is afraid of commitment & tends to date many girls at the same time." #experiments #interesting #dating #linkbait #@to_read #relationships #social_dynamics #pub

"His project, 100 Days of Rejection Therapy, is based on the idea that once you’re used to the strange looks, rude comments, and outright dismissal of every thing you’re trying to achieve, you’ll be able to overcome whatever makes you nervous: speaking in public, asking a woman out, or—in Jiang’s case—seeking funding for your tech startup." #journalism #social_dynamics #experiments #grit #rejection #@BitFit4 #interesting #therapy #pub

"I made three fake tinder profiles. One was with a perfectly average looking guy [1] , one an underwear model [2] , and one ugly looking guy [3]". Tries to see different amount of matches and messages. #tinder #online_dating #experiments #newbies #studies #pub

Sent the same message to all his 40 something matches. "Edit: Initially, I had 42 matches, I am currently at 37. Got blocked by 5. Got 8 responses - all varied. Edit: http://imgur.com/a/4KcE7 [1] - album of responses" #tinder #online_dating #experiments #newbies #shy #pub
