What is Dating App Disconnect?
Run clubs, paint nights, speed dating, happy hours, stranger dinners…people are ready to get off the apps and (thankfully!) many companies are creating fun events to answer the calls of burnt out, jaded, hopeless dating app users. But…we can keep creating new events to meet people, but the underlying “mass disconnect” and emotional baggage from dating app is not being addressed. Although apps did bring some good, they also created an environment, especially in big cities like NYC, where you have a perfect cocktail of anonymity, lack of social contracts, and selfish behavior — resulting in not just mass disconnection, but lowered self esteem, decreased trust and hope, and negative mental health.
Dating App Disconnect is about moving past the baggage of dating apps. It’s a way to get to the root of what you need. It’s about returning to real connection — with yourself and others. We can keep trying to meet people IRL, but without addressing the underlying damage from dating apps and the fundamental societal shift in dating, real connection will be much more challenging to achieve. The fact is, many of us are leading with fear. Let’s get back to freedom!
