6 Lessons I've Learned About Online Dating

[@aliabdaal]

Would highly recommend checking out Brilliant, go to brilliant.org/Ali to get a 30-day free trial + the first 200 people will get 20% off their annual subscription.

[@croguy]

I love the fact that you associate dating with productivity 😂

I laughed so hard when I read the title of the video

[@sj4267]

This is the post-date 8: 1. What side of me did they bring out? 2. How did my body feel during the date? 3. Do I feel more energized or de-energized than before the date? 4. Is there something about them I’m curious about? 5. Did they make me laugh? 6. Did I feel heard? 7. Did I feel attractive in their presence? 8. Did I feel captivated, bored, or something in between?

[@frankkennedy6388]

Sounds like these apply mostly to women. #7 Specifically confuses me as how are you supposed to feel attractive without obvious cues?

[@tyrone_music]

lol, that transition to the Brilliant sponsorship was so smooth! Nicely done 6:30

[@thetechcornerbusiness]

Me & hubby met online. 10 years later we are happy married with 2 great kids. Good luck for you Ali 😊

[@someonev3]

I’m 17 and friends with many people. Online dating isn’t the greatest method, as if you just so happen to live in different countries, or even regions, then chances are you won’t meet. I haven’t seen a single online relationship - and I’ve seen many - go past a year or end in meeting up. Good for you, however. Hope you’re doing well!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m just happy that Ali is dating someone and is happy in life. I wish you both well.

[@ugurfidan9639]

I do not know you but i hope you are (or will) date someone and be happy as well.

Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

[@EvelynMoore629]

“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

[@ThompsonAthena10]

That’s a just approach. I’m 52 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

I've been meeting people from the Internet since 2001-- sometimes for dating, other times just to meet up with friends. I've always been open to meeting outside of my geographical area, way way outside of it. I currently live in North Dakota where the dating pool is just a tiny puddle, and it's difficult to make friends here, too. Meeting friends or dating from the Internet has given me opportunities to learn about new cultures, travel hundreds if not thousands of miles away to meet up with friends, show friends around when they have traveled here, and opened up entirely new worlds for me.

[@AlexPresa]

I really appreciate those Date Evaluation questions, super helpful with determining how to move forward!

[@legendofzoloxolo1425]

I tried for online for 3 years. It’s only people trying to catfish me. Fake accounts. I never got 1 date

[@omerdoganci1802]

The thing about dating is app that they make money based on user retention. The longer single you are the more money they make. There will be matches and dates but it won’t meet the effort you put. I think joining social clubs and activities are much better to have dates.

[@bonkadoom]

some people don’t have much of those in their area tho or they don’t really have the time to actively participate. tbh dating apps are cashing on people who are busy and don’t have the time to go out, meet and connect with people regularly enough to build a relationship with someone organically. or lonely people who have no friends and don’t get introduced to new faces often. kinda sad but nowadays this is the reality for many of us

[@kasuki800]

Step 1: Do Not Buy Any Paid Subscriptions. Ever. Even outside of dating apps. Step 2: idk man what else am i supposed to do, talk to people?

It's weird but ever since I have known you married Izzy, I can't stop thinking how you're so good together. It's just crazy for me how two seemingly unrelated KZbinr from billions of KZbinrs have found each other and get married? I adore you both and I extend my warmest congratulations. 🎉🎉

[@ArtAngelMouse]

Security concern should be for everyone. I've had multiple female stalkers in the past despite telling them I'm gay and I've had unwanted touching/flirting at work from men. I'm sure victimization of men is underreported, I've never gotten interviewed or surveyed. I've heard some stories about Grindr so I'm keeping my guard up and letting my family know what I'm doing and stuff lol.

[@kyrinbuffalo2244]

Hope you doin well man

[@myoutuber77]

I understand the "stalking" women. Gayism is in fashion right now so when you say you are gay they do not automatically fall for it. If you want to shake women you will need to be more original.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

None of the profile text matters, if a woman looks cute and sane, she will get likes. For men, you have to be Brad Pitt and driving a Lamborghini before a woman clicks like.

[@nin9249]

Why jump from texting to meeting? Usually a phone or video call can rule out wronguns

The beginning is so ridiculous lol. "Why should we care about dating?" "WELL THIS STUDY SAYS... !!!"

Ali the skew of people on dating apps is crazily man heavy, 80% of people on tinder are men. Once young guys get super disenfranchised with dating apps due to these numbers this is how they end up going down the manosphere bitternesses route.

[@aamsergie]

For someone who's not married and has teams of people to handle his marriage proposals - this seems extremely lame and inauthentic. The truth is you most likely have AS much challenges if not more than the rest of humanity to dating. Why not just say that vs coming out as an expert.
