The Fix: Date outside the genre.
Right now, celebrities only date three types of people: Other celebrities, professional athletes, or random tech CEOs with no charisma. It is a closed loop of nepotism and NFT arguments.
The Solution: Date a librarian. Date a plumber who doesn't know who you are. Date a chess grandmaster. The best romantic storylines come from friction. I want to see a pop star trying to explain the Grammys to a farmer. I want to see an actor trying to figure out a time clock. Give us The Holiday (2006), not Keeping Up with the Kardashians (Season 17).
The Fix: Ask better questions.
Nothing kills romance faster than the "Ask us anything" sticker where the only questions are:
The Solution: Use the Q&A for chaos.
Until you answer those, you aren't a couple. You are a brand synergy meeting.
