Invited onto the Quotidien set, Karine Le Marchand made comments that will probably not please everyone.

EN BRIEF

• Karine Le Marchand expresses her regrets about the difficulty of meeting people outside of apps, emphasizing the “inhuman” aspect of this trend.

Karine Le Marchand is the French people's favorite presenter. Presented on screens for a number of years that she herself doesn't dare count, she offers her audacity, her spontaneity, and, sometimes, her slip-ups, to viewers.  If Love is in the meadow has just finished her last season, the star presenter of M6 does not intend to take a break. She has already recorded a new show that will be broadcast on the sixth channel on December 9: The French, love, and sex.

As part of the broadcast of this documentary that she produced and presented, Karine Le Marchand went to the set of Quotidien. She answered a whole bunch of Yann Barthès questions. The Quotidien presenter asked her particularly about information given in the report. Apparently, couples met on an app last longer than couples met in real life.

Karine Le Marchand shares her regrets: “Now, we…”

A surprising piece of information that sparked debate on set. According to Ambre Chalumeau, this state of affairs is not that strange. Couples who meet on an app have in fact benefited from a pre-selection that they were able to carry out themselves by discussing with their (potential) sister before meeting her. This is what explains, according to the cultural journalist, these statistics.

Karine Le Marchand gave another explanation. The star presenter put forward the hypothesis that it was also now more difficult to meet in real life. She particularly supported by examples: « Now, you can't flirt in companies anymore, and there are no more slows in nightclubs (…) There are no more popular balls », she listed. Officially, in truth, in the labor code, nothing prevents you from flirting with your colleague. Only sexual harassment, or the repetition of non-consensual flirting, is prohibited. But Alya's mother allowed herself to take this little shortcut to support her thesis.

“It's pretty inhuman”

A thesis according to which it is almost impossible to meet partners outside of apps. On set, Paul Gasnier sought to read more: « And you regret it, or is it progress, for you, that we can no longer flirt at work ? »

Pushed to her limits, the defender of farmers' rights explained herself. « I regret it, like many people. Besides, we can clearly see that the big applications are losing more and more people, because it is still quite inhuman. We don't really have a choice anymore. We now choose people with an index finger, even so, we “swipe”, she schematized. For Karine Le Marchand, the era has its good and bad sides!
