La generazione Z dice addio alle app di incontri e riaccoglie gli appuntamenti della vecchia scuola
I’m so over dating apps! Seriously. I mean, how many times do I need to swipe left, swipe right, go on these meaningless dates, and then end with heartbreak or just wasted time?!
I sometimes feel as if I’m just in this ciclo infinito delle stesse esperienze with the same people, and it never stops! It’s like every time I know the exact order of things that will happen.
Mi sono stufata di scorrere il mouse, poi finalmente vedo un ragazzo carino, ci incontriamo, parliamo per un po', Mi illudo e poi si scopre che è un grande nulla.! Mi incazzo solo a pensarci.
This may sound crazy, but sometimes I think that it wouldn’t be so bad to return to times when your parents would just find you a spouse and you would get married and that’s it. End of the story.
My parents would probably even find someone more decent for me than I would, considering my past choices…
Pensavo di essere l'unica a soffrire. Tuttavia, dopo aver sproloquiato sull'odio per gli appuntamenti online, i miei amici sono arrivati con le ricevute!
“Damn it with the swiping already! I need a break.”
I feel like we all relate to this, right? It’s just tiring to get excited over someone who seems promising at first just to end up being nothing close to what you imagined.
A sondaggio di Forbes ha rivelato che quasi L'80% degli utenti della Gen Z ha dichiarato di essere esaurito dalle app di incontri. I mean, how wouldn’t we be?! With so many options to choose from, it almost feels like you have a mile-long buffet with nothing that just tastes right.
Even though you might feel like dating apps will help you settle down, sometimes it’s actually the opposite. It’s easy to get sopraffatti da troppe scelte. Judith Gottesman, coach di incontri e organizzatore di incontri dice:
“If you just go on date after date after date it feels like endless possibilities, but you’re actually more likely to burn out sooner because you’re just going on a bunch of random bad dates having negative experiences, and wasting a lot of time and money.”
I once had my obsessive Tinder era. I constantly kept matching with people, talking, and going on dates. You’d think I would’ve found my prince by now. Well…not really. The only thing I ended up with was empty social batteries and lost hope in my love life. Sounds familiar?
“I’m sick of playing games. I want something real.”
Oh boy, I heard this one too many times. It’s frankly quite annoying when you want that genuine connection and they just want…nothing.
Also, let’s be honest. Gen Z tends to overthink everything, and I really mean, tutto! From the way we respond to messages, and emojis we are using to how fast we should reply, it’s simply too much.
Let’s just agree that at this point it’s so much easier to just meet someone in real life e parlare con loro sul posto.
My friend would make a whole damn strategic plan on when she would send a message based on the other person’s response time. If she dedicated this time and energy to her studies, I bet she would have a PhD by now!
And don’t even get me started on persone che fingono di volere qualcosa di serio while in reality, they’re just there for the ride. When you go through this multiple times, it can really affect you and your sanity.
“My love life isn’t the only one suffering. It’s my mental health too.”
Molti dei miei amici (me compresa) sono diventati sicuri di sé e insicuri dopo gli appuntamenti online. Tutti i rifiuti e gli standard incredibili di alcune persone? Sì, li conosco tutti.
Secondo lo stesso sondaggio, ‘ghosting’, poor connection, disappointment, and rejection sono tra i motivi principali per cui la generazione Z ha chiuso con le app di incontri.
Anche se questo sembra abbastanza razionale, Hinge ha rivelato qualcos'altro! Il loro rapporto afferma che la paura di essere cringe è una delle principali preoccupazioni della Gen Z. Don’t judge though, every generation has its challenges. I guess being cringe is ours.
But seriously now, dealing with these things can really be hard on some people. Sometimes it’s easier to just delete the app and save yourself from misery.
“I don’t trust people online.”
When you consider the world we live in, how could you trust anyone? I don’t even feel safe walking down the street, let alone meeting someone I’m not even sure it’s the person saying they are.
L'indagine ha inoltre rivelato che Il 38% degli utenti ha ammesso di essere stato vittima di catfishing e il 18% di essere stato esposto a qualche tipo di abuso.. Quindi, si può dare la colpa a noi per i problemi di fiducia?
It’s hard navigating the online world nowadays, especially with the rise of AI technologies that often bring more bad than good. I once matched with a guy whose every picture was AI-generated. He said he was 25 but he was actually in his 50s! Imagine the shock.
This is why meeting through a matchmaking agency can bring you peace of mind knowing they verify who you’re meeting with.
Considerando la recente rapporto e il fatto che solo il 26% degli utenti di servizi di incontri online sono Gen ZPenso che le agenzie matrimoniali abbiano un futuro brillante!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. How could we possibly be more into traditional dating when we’re basically living online? Well, that right there might be your answer.
