9 AUG 2026 · Why You Keep Choosing The Wrong Person | Swipe Left
You have done it again. You swiped right on the exact same type of person who destroyed you six months ago. And the worst part? You knew it was a bad idea before you even hit send.
In the pilot episode of Swipe Left, hosts Troy Delgado and Chloe Nakamura dive deep into the psychology of why we keep choosing the wrong partners. It is not about being stupid. It is about attachment styles, neural pathways, and the terrifying idea that your brain might be actively sabotaging your love life.
They break down anxious attachment, avoidant patterns, the excitement trap (why boring might actually mean healthy), and the sunk cost fallacy that keeps you in relationships long after they should have ended. Plus: 4 practical steps to actually break the cycle — not just talk about it.
