“Esther Perel is above reproach and a literal genius but the rest…
Attachment theory isn’t being used appropriately.
Are we really going to set up a doctor who likes wine with a recovering alcoholic who lives with his parents?
And yet, too many of the same type of person. Very vocal fry, Bay Area or nyc yuppie, very stereotypical boring folks. There’s also a really big problem with this idea that we’re going to find people who are chronically single and put them on a blind date when we know that they’re bad at dating. The questions are nice but it’s not enough because pretending to be vulnerable isn’t the same thing as being vulnerable. When we have chronically single folks we can’t “fix” it by throwing more dates at them or telling them their patterns. THEY KNOW. Just like obese people know fewer calories will help them lose weight. It’s a lot deeper of a problem than that. The walls built since childhood aren’t coming down this way.”
