This week Erica and Molly return to “Make Your Move” and “Date-onomics, but this time sit down with author Jon Birger to chat about his work. Jon explains the lopsided dating pool that he discovered in his book “Date-onomics” and the challenges it presents for singles today. The three also discuss whether gender matters when making the first move in relationships, dating apps, how to make bold moves to find your life partner, and much more.

0:00.0 | You guys could have warned me of this ahead of time, but when I went out and booked |
0:03.0 | tour with Datonomics, I would lay all this out in talks and women would say, okay, I feel a lot |
0:10.1 | better. It's not my fault. Now I have something I can tell my mom, but tell me what to do. |
0:16.0 | And I didn't really have a good answer for them, Ben. |
0:18.8 | Right. And then that's when you wrote Make Your Move, which also makes sense because it's like, |
0:22.8 | you genuinely went on the data. |
0:25.3 | You're like, this is what I found from the data. |

0:49.1 | waiting around. We would never apply this to any other part of our life. Like if, |
0:54.6 | like if one of you needed knee surgery, |
0:56.6 | would you wait for the orthopedist to call you up and find you? |
1:01.0 | Funny story. |
1:02.3 | I did actually have to wait and then I had arthritis at 19. |
1:05.9 | So it's not a good thing when you do. |
1:08.7 | I know, |
1:09.6 | but like you weren't like waiting for the perfect surgeon to call you up, right? |
1:13.6 | Like and we don't, if there was a job you really wanted, you wouldn't wait for them to, to like, notice you. |
1:21.5 | Right. |
