Summary

Happy Valentine’s Day! Your hosts are joined by sex scientist and one of Match’s Chief Scientific Advisors, Dr. Helen Fisher to discuss relationships, relationships in healthcare, dating trends, and more. Dr. Fisher shares why she got into this field, and discusses her work with Match and their 11th annual Singles in America study. They take a deep dive into Danielle’s dating life, including her time on The Bachelor. Plus, Dr. Fisher shares that vaccination status has skyrocketed as the most important criteria for singles (2 in 3 singles said that they want their dating partners to be vaxxed) and that singles are leading the charge in vaccination rate. Lastly, they touch on trends in dating partners for healthcare workers!
