How’s your love life? With platforms like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and OkCupid offering endless opportunities to connect, many people searching for The One think signing up for a dating app should be a go-to for finding their match. However, new research is showing some users are signing off, including ninety percent of Gen Z users.

Those staying on the apps point to their ease of use, accessibility, and the countless success stories of happily coupled friends who met that way. Others say dating apps aren’t offering authentic connections.  A paradox of choice has also developed, with a belief there’s always someone else who you can connect with, which has made people less satisfied with their options.

Before we continue to swipe right, we debate the question: Is It Time to Break Up with Dating Apps?

This debate will be produced in front of a live audience on February 5th, at The Comedy Cellar’s Village Underground. Doors open at 5:30 PM and debate starts promptly at 6 PM. Tickets are sold out. The recorded debate will be available for viewing here on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025.
