YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor Gen Z and millennials, dating is becoming more expensive and less frequent. Surveys show many young singles are cutting back on outings as costs for meals, drinks and app subscriptions climb. Dating apps’ freemium models add another layer of expense, while the abundance of options can overwhelm users. Experts say this dynamic is leading to fewer meaningful connections and more cautious behavior among daters.
