In honor of July aka. "Self-Accountability Month" J.Mix and Beau Autin are confronting their own implicit biases about their personal dating preferences and histories over dating apps and in their interpersonal relationships with others. In this episode, they compare and contrast the race and orientations of the communities they grew up amongst and how it has affected their current dating preferences. They also explore how this has negatively influenced the LGBTQ+ community in terms of acceptance of all spectrums of queerness.

If you are curious about how algorithms function on dating apps, there is a game, Monster Match, branded as a dating website that exposes the explicit bias of algorithms. It scales down the plethora amounts of dating apps so that they’re easier to understand. Instead of millions of users, there’s just you, a real human being, and 100 imaginary monster profiles. As you swipe right (to like) and left (to dislike) profiles, they show you how the next profile you’ll see is affected. You’ll get to know exactly what profiles you get—and miss out on—over the course of a few dozen swipes. All without actually having to go on any dates, talk to people, or put yourself out there. Check it out. Feel free to inbox J.Mix with your thoughts!

J.Mix and Beau are creating a self-reflection survey for TSAM listeners to take if they are looking to observe and reflect on their own biases. Once published, link to the survey will be available on TSAM's Linktree.
