NEW YORK TIMES - Among young singles today, dating-app fatigue is real. Users struggle to gauge genuine connections through profiles and are frustrated with the transactional nature of swiping, fake profiles, and paywalls. Many are shifting towards in-person events and social media platforms for more organic interactions. The dissatisfaction is also due to inauthentic profiles and a lack of serious intent among users. Some have taken breaks from dating apps, opting for more traditional ways of meeting people, though they may occasionally return to see if their experience improves.
