Co-Host Jillian Romero Chaves (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/clara) My guest Jillian Romero Chaves is the founder and CEO of an app called Clara For Daters, which she emphasizes is NOT a dating app. As an active dater and a dating advocate herself as a single woman, she developed Clara as a tool to empower dating app users to get the most out of their rapidly-declining experience. Now, it’s no secret that the vast majority of dating app users are indeed growing more disillusioned–if not flat-out disgusted with–their lack of success nowadays. But are dating apps indeed worth saving? With people’s social muscles still atrophied out there as much as ever, Jillian is looking for ways that online dating apps can somehow start serving their users better. In fact, her optimistic hope is that the apps will start seeing their customers as daters instead of mere users. What does she mean by that, exactly? And since Jillian is dedicated to cultivating genuine, in-person social connections, she feels compelled to confront the loneliness epidemic rampant in our digital age. How is it that app daters can escape the the endless cycle of swiping and messaging that goes nowhere, and instead starting again to use the apps as they were apparently originally intended…as a tool to facilitate meeting REAL people in the REAL world on REAL dates? Why is she so strongly for the concept of ‘roster dating’ (or ‘rotational dating’)? And for sure, how did the recent ‘Bumble billboard fumble’ affect her and her outlook on things?

Scot McKay Dating Strategist

Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

He’s also the most fluff-free fountainhead of original content in his field, if only because that’s what seventeen years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given that she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot and still gets carded at her age. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.
