Is Hot-Take Dating a Trend to Follow?
"You may or may not be too hot about each of these "hot takes." But apparently, it's become hot to offer hot takes on a first date. A hot take is, according to Merriam-Webster, "a quickly produced, strongly worded, and often deliberately provocative or sensational opinion or reaction." The thought is that putting forth your most extreme, most divisive viewpoints as soon as possible can help you quickly see whether you and the other person are compatible."
"When it comes to determining compatibility, the most effective hot takes are the ones centered around things that may be core to a relationship. These could be key things like your values, beliefs, personality, picture of an ideal relationship, financial requirements, hopes, and dreams. In fact, if you have particular relationship dealmakers or breakers, the hot-take dating perspective means why not get them out early? For example, you think children are the worst thing since sliced bread."
Hot-take dating encourages offering extreme, divisive opinions early to reveal compatibility quickly. Hot takes can cover core relationship factors such as values, beliefs, personality, relationship expectations, finances, hopes, and dreams. Early disclosure of dealmakers and breakers can prevent wasted time on incompatible matches. Benefits include increased dating efficiency, time savings, clearer communication, and opportunities to learn new perspectives. Risks include negative reactions, intense arguments, and potential emotional fallout. Examples of hot takes include positions on pineapple on pizza, opinions about films, beliefs about friendships with exes, and views about fidelity. Hot-take dating requires readiness for strong responses.
