Noggin Notes Podcast - Are Dating Apps Worth It?

Dating is a funny old business. Add in the wide range of dating apps and the whole process becomes a lot more complicated. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, there are now so many social networking options where you can meet and talk to new people, that you can whizz through hundreds of new faces without even thinking about it. It’s like speed dating on steroids.

Dating apps have spent the last decade persuading us to date online, wiping away the stigma that clung to the practice from its origins in the original dot-com era. Couples are now more likely to form a relationship through online dating than any other avenue, according to a 2019 Stanford study. Talking up someone at a bar let alone finding someone through friends, family or work can seem as quaint as a love sonnet or waiting for marriage to have sex.

On today's episode, we welcome Adam Sikorski and Angel Littlefield who have a conversation about their experiences in the dating world through the different dating apps. They share what they have encountered and communicate what impact it has brought up in their own lives.
