It’s not me, it’s you - Why gen z is swiping left on dating apps

Gen Z grew up on a steady diet of early 2000s rom-coms, believing in fairy-tale romances, grand gestures, and happily ever afters. But dating in 2025 looks nothing like the movies. Endless swipes, ghosting, and late-night “u up?” texts have replaced magical meet-cutes and serendipitous encounters we were promised at a young age. Now, Gen Zers are walking away from dating apps, leaving behind the digital dating game. But what’s really driving this shift? And where are they looking for love instead? Join Josiane and special guest Dr Treena Orchard authour of Sexy, Sticky, Sad as they dive into why Gen Z is swiping left on dating apps and how they’re navigating modern romance in a swipe-obsessed world.
