OK Cupid do your best, while I Bumble around Tindering for my love, a hook-up or a FWB…!
This presentation will describe the rationale for the ‘COVID-19: Dating Apps, Social Connections, Loneliness and Mental Health in a pandemic’ project. Prior to the pandemic, dating apps have become an integral form for many citizens in society to elicit emotional, sexual, and intimate relationships and connections. However, little is known about the use, impacts, barriers, and enablers to using dating apps, pre-pandemic and even more so since the pandemic. However, given the phenomenal rise of dating apps, accessible for download via iTunes and Google Play Store, coupled with citizens young and old turning to alternative ways of finding a connection and/or companion, dating apps are here to stay.
A recent paper by Marston and colleagues (2020) explores the use of dating apps from a life course perspective specifically with two cohorts - older adults and young people with life-limiting/threatening health conditions. This paper presents an in-depth review of the various dating apps developed for all citizens in society, religions, and sexualities. A series of recommendations are proposed as a route map for moving the narrative forward from both the perspectives of research, industry, and policy.
