Swipe Right, Cheat Left: How Dating Apps and Social Media Rewired Infidelity
About this episode
This episode explores how dating apps and social media have transformed the dynamics of infidelity.
Dating apps and social media didn’t invent infidelity, but they changed its mechanics, its speed, and its emotional architecture. This episode breaks down the psychology behind digital temptation, from dopamine-driven novelty-seeking to the rise of “micro-cheating” in DMs and comment sections. We explore why technology lowered the barriers to betrayal while making detection both easier and harder than ever before.
