Emily Ratajkowski Says She's Joined A Dating App For The First Time
The model has some thoughts about the homogeneity on the apps.
Emily Ratajkowski has opened up about her return to dating.
In the latest episode of her podcast High Low with Emrata, the model revealed that she has started using her first dating app following her divorce from her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. The host dove into an app while recording the show, as she shared her carefree reasoning for joining.
"I was like, 'f— it,'" she said while browsing the app, wine glass in hand. "I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to get it."

During the episode, the model mentioned that several women had sent her messages, but she said that she wasn't sure that she would find what she was looking for on the app.
"I feel like this app is a little bit white. It's very white and feels like a very particular man and very particular type of woman, so I don't think I'm gonna meet my lady crush on here," she said, adding the observation, "Why do so many white men have photos of them running? What do they think they’re signaling with that?"

The My Body author previously spoke on her bisexuality in her November 2022 cover story with Harper's BAZAAR, saying that she doesn't believe that anyone is entirely straight. She also opened up about being single for the first time in her life, and how her approach to dating has changed since her breakup.
"To use the TikTok phrase, I was a bit of a 'pick-me girl' in the sense that I wasn't very good at deciding what I liked," she said. "I really wanted to be chosen. It was hard for me to go on a date with someone and think about how much I did or didn't like them. I would have been thinking about how they were perceiving me, what it meant, what they wanted from me, what it meant about my self-worth."
"I don't have that anymore," she continued. "So now it's really fun to go to dinner with someone and be like, 'Cool. I really enjoyed these parts of them. I really didn't like these other parts.'"
