Would you DATE them?

Desire to go on a date and attraction often feels instinctive, but if you’re someone who enjoys understanding your own thought processes (we know we do! 😁), this is a chance to slow down and explore what actually catches your attention when you first look at a dating profile and why.

Using actual, anonymous dating profiles, we’ll look closely at what pulls us in, what makes us want to know more, and what our reactions reveal about our own preferences, assumptions, and values.

Whether you actively use dating apps or not, this space is for anyone curious about how people perceive dating profiles; and you might even walk away with a few insights for your own!

The kind of questions we‘ll explore:

• What‘s the first thing that catches your attention when you first see a dating profile?
• What do people choose to show about themselves?
• What qualities do you tend to focus on?
• After reading a profile, what else do you want to know about this person?

⚖️ Our rules and values:

• Participants may ask personal questions, but you’re always invited to listen to yourself and only share what feels right for you
• Listen and engage from a place of curiosity, and refrain from expressing judgement towards other participants
• *This space is built on reciprocity: come ready to give, receive and listen actively

🚫 What this space is not:

• A debate club in the traditional sense: we will be moving between discussion and personal shares. Please be discerning about what you decide to argue about.
  Group therapy: as much as personal shares are welcome, please take a moment to consider your own capacity and whether this setting feels right for you at this time.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there! 😀
