Even with how the world had gone, single people still need the company of others. I'd reckon that when we were sequestered indoors, dating apps became a necessity of still playing the dating field. Or at least, biding one's time until we could go out safely again.
But how did people, especially the Gen Zs, use dating apps? Well, Tinder pieced together data taken from its users and painted us this year's trend in dating. In a nutshell, we have Gen Zs, who enjoyed both virtual meet-cutes and post-vax IRL dates. Gen Zs were also looking for travel buddies when Vaccinated Travel Lanes were first announced (overseas travel as a first date? Talk about shooting your shot).
What was also fascinating was that Gen Zs eschew first date drinks in favour of activities. Sporty activities like hiking, cycling and kayaking popped up in bios and the biggest turn-on? Being vaxxed. In an endemic world, being fully-vaxxed was the most important thing people look for in their date. Check out the rest of the dating trends below.
