Logan Ury

Logan Ury studied psychology at Harvard and later co-led a behavioral economics lab at Google. She then joined the dating app Hinge, where she has worked as director of relationship science. She is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Approach

Ury applies behavioral science to dating decisions. Her starting point is that many people follow habits and mental shortcuts that do not help them find a good partner, and that these habits can be changed. Her advice is aimed at both men and women and covers how to choose better partners, how to approach dates and how to stop searching for a perfect match.

Books

Her book How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love was published by Simon & Schuster in 2021. It draws on research in psychology and behavioral economics and combines it with practical exercises for people who are single or stuck in dating habits that do not work.

Reception

She represents the evidence-based, non-pickup end of dating advice: no scripts, but research on how people choose partners.
