If have or are currently participating in the modern world of dating, aka using an app, you’ve been here. Casually perusing your future companion. You get to a picture of a beautiful person, the catch is she’s with her friend. A…okay, not so cure friend. Your mind goes back to the beautiful person, all the laughs you’ll share, the traveling you’ll do, and the beautiful kids you’ll raise together. Then your thumb scrolls you down into despair.

Regrettably, you’ve found the less attractive friend. Your dreams are crushed. The kids disappear. You’re left with sadness before swiping left and waiting for the next boost of dopamine.
