Lifestyle: Sick Of Dating Apps? Here’s How To Get Set Up IRL

Yep, we’re talking about Tinder, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in September and has spawned a host of copycats in its wake. These days, almost half of young people aged 18 to 29 in the US have used a dating app, with the conglomerate that owns Tinder and its (less hook-up-inclined) little sibling Hinge raking in almost $2.4bn in revenue. In short, the era where finding love online was once the stigma rather than the standard is effectively a fever dream.
