Summary

In this episode, I virtually sit down with Logan Ury, behavioral scientist and author of the book How To Not Die Alone. We discuss why we like partner’s who don’t have a social media presence, if you ever have to settle, creating vs. consuming on Instagram, how much we “owe” our followers, idealizing love, a life partner vs. a prom date, what sides of you your partner should bring out, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss how involved a woman should be in her engagement, if age is just a number in dating, why being 23 sucks, transforming your attachment styles, dating app tips, how I party sober, and where you should be after a few dates.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a DR Media Production.
0:06.8	Hey guys, welcome back to We Minute Acme. Today's episode is very interesting and deep, I feel like
0:14.5	we have Logan Erie, who is a behavioral scientist. She's really smart. She went to Harvard.
0:23.4	She's so smart. You know she's legit. She is at hinge kind of, you know, handling their
0:32.6	behavioral science of the relationships, which is huge. So I feel like there's a lot to be learned
0:38.9	in this episode. I definitely learned a lot from her. But before we get into Logan, I'm going to
0:45.2	answer some of your questions that you had submitted this week. The first one was, what's your
0:50.9	opinion on how engagement should go and how involved the girl should be? This is so funny because
0:56.3	I feel like this has been coming up a lot. And I guess it's just because I'm like at that age.
1:01.8	But I definitely am traditional when it comes to this stuff. I feel like, like I don't want to
1:08.8	go like ring shopping with my partner. Like I as a woman, like I don't want to be too involved
1:14.2	with that stuff. I think there is this part of me that still kind of wants to be surprised. And
1:20.9	maybe that's unrealistic and like stupid. But I feel like there's still some sort of like
1:28.0	specialness about genuinely being surprised. And like that doesn't mean that he shouldn't ask people
1:34.0	what he should get you and things like that. Like obviously he shouldn't just surprise you with
1:38.2	a random ring that you've never seen before. There should be some like guidance and whatever. And
1:43.3	like that's why it's so important to tell your sisters and your friends and your moms and people
1:49.6	close to you what you want. But I think that if it were up to me, I would never have to bring up
1:57.5	like, okay, when is this happening? And instead just kind of have comforting conversations around
2:03.7	the future. And then that's like the one part where they have to kind of take the lead. So that's
2:09.7	where I stand on it. But again, like maybe that's unrealistic. I know very close friends of mine
2:15.0	who had to literally straight up say like, okay, when is this happening? Or you know, give me a timeline
