If you’ve been with us long enough, you’ve noticed that we enjoy talking about relationships. Relationships are an essential factor in human happiness. We all know how much of an influence our romantic partnerships have in our lives, but is today’s dating culture making it difficult to find fulfilling relationships? In this episode, we chat about the journeys of dating in this modern-day world, especially with apps highly influencing human interactions and romantic relationships. Are they doing more harm than good? Is the norm of dating now being on the apps? We explore topics so many people have thought about, debated on, and even cried over.
In this episode, we talk about:
-Each of our current journeys in dating and our experiences with the apps.
-Our opinions on the dating app culture and what it’s done to modern-day relationships and dating.
-The cons of dating apps: short-term dopamine hits for pleasure, a form of escapism, intentionality being stripped from human connection, dating becomes a numbers game.
-The pros of dating apps: a tool to connect with people when you’re too busy to go out & a resource to meet people you wouldn’t have normally met (but this potentially being a con).
-The reality of long-term relationships not being common in our society today.
-People’s inability to take action in person when they’ve become used to only meeting potential partners online.
-The necessity of investing your time, presence, and energy to create long-term relationships.
-The controversy of ‘elitist’ apps perpetuating hierarchies of division and separation within our society.
-The way cultural backgrounds play a role in the partners you choose to date.
-The importance of intentionality when dating even when modern-day society is doing the opposite.
