Why some people are turning away from dating apps and going back to personal introductions
Manage episode 427047151 series 5385
Over the last decade, dating apps have changed the way we meet, and they've made a few successful businesses very, very wealthy.
But, with concerns over safety, and a rising cost for subscriptions, many of the apps are beginning to see a fall in new users.
For some people, it's a chance to get back to the analog world, whether that's nightclubs, running clubs, or an emerging industry of dating groups.
For others, it's about swearing off relationships for a time, with the hashtag #boysober trending on social platforms.
Lisa Portolan, Anthony Elliott, and Tanya Koens discuss how dating apps have changed the way we relate to each other and to ourselves, and whether it is possible to set them aside completely.
