Modern romance feels exhausting, confusing, and strangely hollow-and it’s not your fault.The Love Algorithm Is Broken: Hack Romance Before It Hacks You exposes how dating apps, swipe culture, and performative relationship norms have quietly rewired attraction, attachment, and intimacy at the neurological and emotional level. What feels like personal failure is often the result of engineered systems designed for speed, novelty, and replacement-not human connection.This bold, incisive guide dismantles the myth that love has 'evolved' for the better. Instead, it reveals how emotional automation trains people to suppress instinct, manage desire, and detach prematurely-while calling it maturity.Rather than offering gimmicks or manipulation tactics, this book restores what algorithms flatten: presence, polarity, repair, and conscious choice. You’ll learn how to recognize emotional conditioning in real time, reclaim agency from swipe culture, and build relationships that feel alive instead of optimized.This is not a dating manual. It’s a systems intervention.For anyone burned out on modern dating, confused by mixed signals, or tired of feeling disposable, The Love Algorithm Is Broken offers a new internal operating system-one that prioritizes aliveness over metrics and real connection over control.
