THE GLOBE AND MAIL – From Gen Z to seniors, many are tired of online dating due to mind games, ghosting, rejection, scammers, and increasing costs. App downloads for Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble have declined since 2020. Pew Research Center found that 11% of hetero couples and nearly 30% of LGBTQIA+ couples met online, but many now find online dating too much work with little payoff. In response, Tinder and Bumble have added features, but user dissatisfaction persists. Speed dating and matchmaking services are making a comeback, offering real-world interactions and personalized matchmaking, often at a premium cost. This shift reflects a desire to return to more traditional dating methods.
