APPtitude Tip #7: Understand Density Bias

APPtitude Tip #7: Understand Density Bias

Those who live in rural areas may cling to their apps like an astronaut to his oxygen tank. It may be the only place to meet kindreds within hundreds of miles. The desire for connection makes all potential matches a sacred thing. Simply stated, in the country, human beings have more value.

Conversely, users in high-density cities may approach an app user with all the importance of an Angry Bird. To city dwellers, fellow humans may be seen as annoying obstacles keeping them from their bus seat or their cappuccino at the corner roaster. Remember, in a city, amidst an overflowing stream of humans and potential matches, you may be viewed as a disposable commodity instead of the beautiful expression of life that you are.

RECOMMENDATION: Consider your locale and accept the ambivalence and fickleness of overstimulated city people without taking their indifference personally. No, it’s not about you. You simply must shine bighter.
