The Mom Test: One Question Filters Bad Relationships

Atom Search related

The single diagnostic question 'if I showed my mom her Instagram, would she approve of her?' collapses weeks of dating guesswork into a seconds-long gut check. It works because it bypasses attraction-laced rationalization and surfaces what people in your life who love you would actually think. The test isn't about being judgmental — it's about catching the signals you'd normally ignore because you're excited.
