What patterns might be revealed? Jeremy Jacobowitz, a 35-year-old TV producer turned food influencer who runs an Instagram account called Brunch Boys, decided he’d be willing to find out.
Most of these app dates followed a similar arc. “My rule is always ‘Let’s just get drinks,’ ” Jacobowitz said. “If it’s terrible, you just get out of there.” The location tended to be one of a handful of his regular bars — partly out of laziness, partly to quell his social anxiety. “For most of my life, I was very overweight and I didn’t know how to speak to women,” he says. “The apps allowed me to practice and see what works.” For the most part, these interactions fizzled out after one date.

Taylor K. felt excited to meet the other matches. “You’re assuming there must be at least a thread in common. It was a great networking event for us,” she said. Jacobowitz, however, was on edge. “What made me anxious was that I just don’t remember these dates, you know what I mean?” he told me. Morgan said that when she walked in, “I saw him, and I could tell by the blank look on his face he had no clue who I was.
