69% of Gen Z believe they are setting the standard for dating, and more than half of their successors, the millennials, agree that dating is healthier for today’s youth than for people of a similar age.
This is the second Tinder report after the original 2021 report, which reflected new trends in meeting new people coming out of the pandemic. With a return to normality, this year’s report highlights nine new trends based on three broad themes: inclusivity, technology and authenticity.
“In 2023, Tinder is primarily used by Gen Z. It is a community that seeks to influence society and profoundly challenges restrictive norms. No other generation has had such an impact on the workplace, retail, technology, politics and culture. “We believe this generation is driving the biggest change we’ve ever seen in how we connect, who we date, and what dating really is,” says Tinder COO Faye Losotaluno.

That’s the question Tinder asks, and the answer is that there will always be expectations that technology should be easy and intuitive. The app is credited with being the key to making dating easy, safe and fun. It took away the uncertainties of a person as to who might like you or not, giving you the control in the palm of your hand to decide.

Perhaps the biggest use of AI is as a “digital companion”, with most 18-25 year olds agreeing that AI can be used as first aid in overcoming the barrier of writing a bio or breaking the ice and getting the conversation flowing. Might be useful as well.
