Dating apps once transformed how people met, but the endless swipe may be losing its charm. As user fatigue grows and growth slows, major platforms like Bumble and Tinder are experimenting with new features to keep people engaged.


Dating apps are losing their spark: Is swipe culture finally fading?

A wave of cyberattacks has targeted major US companies including Bumble, Panera Bread, Match Group and CrunchBase, raising alarms over a new surge in sophisticated social engineering attacks. Cybersecurity experts warn that hackers are increasingly exploiting human vulnerabilities rather than system flaws.


Cyberattacks Hit Bumble & Panera, Wave of Cyberattacks Hits US Companies

Going on a date, talking to your future life partner, having a nice dinner, and laughing your heart out have become staples for our lives. In countries like India, it is now the de facto way to find a suitable person outside of the traditional arranged marriage setup.

But, with changing demographics and expectations, new terms like 'situationships' have been added to our vocabulary. Soon, Artificial Intelligence may choose a suitable partner for you based on your likings and preferences. Some have called this 'hopeful', others 'dystopian.'&nbsp;

Bumble, the go-to dating app for many, has now come with a new feature for users to opt for. 'Intimacy without commitment' is a box you can now tick, and other people will see it when they see your profile.&nbsp;

But the internet is far from happy with it.&nbsp;

Social media users have termed it everything from 'pure hell' to 'wasted money, time, and energy.'&nbsp;

There is already greater discontent among young users with dating apps than ever before.

&nbsp;According to The Fortune, "79% of college students and other Gen Z are forgoing regular dating app usage and instead opting for in-person interactions."

<h2>Are people tired of online dating?&nbsp;</h2>

'Dating app burnout' has become a real thing, with people experiencing the fatigue of endless right and left swiping, or what sociologists have called the 'commercialisation' of emotions and people.&nbsp;

Many have even called dating apps a 'marketplace' of emotions and feelings, with the shiniest fruit being the most popular.&nbsp;

What can one tell from a few carefully edited images, a witty caption, and dating options like 'intimacy without commitment' and 'open to possibilities?' It is becoming more and more taxing for young people to find love, and algorithms are definitely getting in the way.

Are people 'products' to be consumed hurriedly? This is the question that most of us will grapple with very soon.&nbsp;

According to Reuters, Bumble is expecting revenue of $269 million in the second quarter of this financial year. This comes to $1.76 billion in annual income. Clearly, big tech is very happy with our dating lives, or the confused lack of it, many of us find ourselves in.&nbsp;

But will options like the one recently released, be the death knell of dating apps, or will they define boundaries and enhance the dating experience? After all, 'ethically monogamous' and 'polyamorous' relationships have become a reality as more and more Indians take what they want and shun the traditional expectations of society and their parents.&nbsp;

Let's take a deep dive.

<h2>Online dating; A must or a fallacy?&nbsp;</h2>

Bumble and other apps are definitely useful. There have been stories of plenty of people across the globe finding their soul mates through online connections. Hearty stories can be found with a simple Google search.

But there are also enough horror stories to keep the novice away and for many of us to completely give up dating.

Recently, a man's two-year-long online dating partner was revealed to be his sister. Such cases are becoming more common, with the real threats of catfishing and honey-trapping becoming graver. Combine this with unsafe cities and a lack of nightlife, and what we get is a strange mix of hope and fear.&nbsp;

<h2>What do people think about it?&nbsp;</h2>

But public opinion on the 'intimacy without commitment' feature seems to vary.&nbsp;

Adrien called it a "double-edged sword." He added that "it may provide clarity and transparency for individuals seeking casual connections without the pressure of commitment. On the other hand, it could potentially complicate things by blurring the lines between casual and serious intentions." They stressed the likely "misunderstandings and hurt feelings."

Palak, a 17-year-old who will soon enter the dating scene, says, "People change, grow, and evolve, especially when they connect with other people, so putting everyone in a box and encouraging people to go through them like products is insane."&nbsp;

Athiya says, rather poetically, that "intimacy is not something that just happens between two people; it is a way of being alive. At every moment, we are choosing either to reveal ourselves or to protect ourselves."&nbsp;

Sanath notes that "it will be just lustful sex without any feelings involved. It will complicate things and is immoral, in my opinion."&nbsp;

Mukul said, "It's not 'pure hell'. You and the counterpart you engage with would just have better clarity on the nature of their engagement. But the con side would be that this would further expedite the becoming of dating apps into smartphone applications for hookup instead."

There are also takers for it, though.&nbsp;

Chandrakana says, "This option is beneficial. Intimacy is not solely about physical connection; it often involves mental and emotional bonding as well. Sometimes people take a longer time to commit. An initial relationship, where partners focus on understanding and connecting with each other, can gradually evolve into a committed one."&nbsp;

<h2>Time will tell</h2>

While it is important to practice 'responsible dating' and actually talk to a person before writing them off, this option may help people avoid confusion and choose the right partner(s) for the phase of life they are in.&nbsp;

However, we all need to wait and watch the success or failure of Bumble's 'intimacy without commitment' option.

Bumble now has an 'intimacy without commitment' option: A sexual revolution or a free-for-all?

Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd will step down as CEO of the dating apps operator and hand over the role to seasoned executive Lidiane Jones, knocking its shares down 10% to a record on Monday.

Jones is the CEO of Salesforce-owned Slack and has held senior roles at Microsoft where she spent more than 12 years. She will take over on Jan. 2, while Wolfe Herd will remain executive chair, Bumble said in a statement.

"We view Whitney's departure as a near-to-midterm headwind for business operations and a negative for overall company morale," said analysts at Evercore ISI.

This is the second big executive departure this year at Bumble, following the exit of President Tariq Shaukat, who stepped down after three years in the role.

Wolfe Herd, 33, launched the company in 2014 after an acrimonious departure from Match Group-owned rival app Tinder, which she had co-founded. Bumble's eponymous app stood out in the industry by allowing women to make the first move.

In recent years, Bumble, which counts Friends, Badoo, Fruitz (for Gen Z) and Official in its portfolio of dating services, has faced pressure to grow due to unrest in some markets like eastern Europe and competition from larger rival Match.

"Bumble has failed to execute on its vision of becoming a broader women's platform for beyond dating use cases like friendship and professional networking. How the new CEO manages these non-core use cases is a key question," analysts at Jefferies said.

Bumble raised more than $2 billion in its initial public offering in February 2021, building on the momentum for internet-based dating services amid pandemic-led movement curbs.

The stock value has, however, slipped four-fifths since then as those tailwinds waned.

Bumble will report its third-quarter results on Tuesday.

'Breakup?': Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd to step down as CEO; shares drop after announcement

In the ever-evolving world of dating apps and swiping right for love, investors have recently chosen to swipe left on dating stocks. It seems that the love affair between Wall Street and dating apps is currently in a rocky phase, and it's not just a casual fling.

Bumble, the female-driven dating app, recently made headlines as its share price plummeted by about 5 per cent&nbsp;following the departure of founder Whitney Wolfe Herd from the CEO role. She's not alone in the dating app exodus – Match, the owner of Tinder, also faced a 15 per cent&nbsp;stock drop after revealing a decline in paying users.&nbsp;

The reasons for this investor reluctance vary, but some seem to be experiencing founder infatuation. After all, Whitney Wolfe Herd had been at the helm of Bumble since its inception in 2014. Her departure raises concerns about consistent leadership in the company's C-suite, making it challenging to establish a stable strategy.

Investors aren't exactly enamored with dating stocks, as Bumble's shares were already down 35 per cent&nbsp;for the year, and Match was down 31 per cent&nbsp;before the recent turmoil. Perhaps the global consumer's appetite for digital romance has waned, signaling a shift in the dating scene.

The whole dating market now appears oversaturated, making it a tough nut to crack. With the easing of the pandemic, in-person dates have become socially acceptable once more. So, what's next for these companies? Some suggest they need to broaden their horizons, exploring opportunities beyond dating to reignite investor enthusiasm.

As the sun sets on the dating stock market, Bumble's new CEO, Lidiane Jones, will need to work her magic and rekindle the flame of investor interest

Investors Ghosting Dating Stocks: A swipe left on the global consumer scene

Sport is not just an emotion which can make or bake the spirit of Indian people on a given day. It is also a dominant force in dating, at least for Indians, a new report has revealed.

According to a report by online dating platform Bumble, 78 per cent of Indians surveyed believe cricket matches make for great dates. At the same time, 70 per cent Indians said that they find cricket matches as a helpful parameter to learn about someone’s interest and passion in the sport. About 63 per cent Indians believe they get to know someone’s personality by how they react to a win or a loss.

<h2>The fate of date: Cricket decides?</h2>

The report indicates that cricket decides fate of a date for a significant number of Indians. The report said that 5 per cent of Indians actively seek a romantic ally who enjoys sports. Once they know that a prospective romantic ally has an interest in sports, they go forward to explore a connection with them.

<h2>Cricket brings dating couples together: Report</h2>

The report further added that for about 44 per cent of the individuals in a dating scenario, one liked cricket and the other didn’t. In that case, the latter compromised and they watched it together. While 41 per cent said they spent a lot of time apart.

Further, 32 per cent pointed out that they grew to love it.

Bumble's new study highlights that since cricket is often seen as a male-dominated sport, women feel left out as far as their conventional knowledge about it is concerned.

The report said that 71 per cent of women admit to 'finding themselves being mansplained during social conversations (parties, gatherings, events, etc.) about cricket.'

"Mansplaining in sports reflects on everyday sexism and gender biases and is often overlooked. No matter the intention behind it, it is harmful. While you enjoy the matches, don’t offer to explain any rule or strategy unless asked. If you’re asked then explain briefly, free of stereotypes and jibes. It’s important to set clear boundaries to forge healthy and equitable relationships," Samarpita Samaddar, India Communications Director, Bumble was quoted as saying in the report.

Shraddha Walkar murder: Dating app Bumble says will 'remain available' to assist police in probe

"Please tell me that you aren't a leftist, you are too pretty to be one," reads a message that a Brazilian woman received on the dating app Tinder.

As the political fervour in Brazil gains heat, the elections have breached every phase of its citizens' lives; even their romantic life and dating apps.

"I am a leftist (and) I will ask who you vote for. It's important that we think alike," warns one user Gabriela's profile, reports AFP.

Talking to the news agency, Gabriela said&nbsp;for her it makes no sense to connect with right-wing supporters. She says she "wouldn't enjoy a beer" with a person with racist views or contempt for the LGBTQ community.

"I only (accept) those who won't vote for Bolsonaro... Everyone else, we can work things out," says another profile, this of a man called Rafael.

As incumbent Jair Bolsonaro and left-wing rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gear up for a face-off, their supporters are waging an ideological war of their own on dating sites.

"Please tell me that you aren't a leftist, you are too pretty to be one," reads a message that a Brazilian woman received on the dating app Tinder. As the political fervour in Brazil gains heat, the elections have breached every phase of its citizens' lives; even their romantic life and dating apps. "I am a leftist (and) I will ask who you vote for. It's important that we think alike," warns one user Gabriela's profile, reports AFP.

Everyone else, we can work things out," says another profile, this of a man called Rafael.

The dating app Bumble has announced that it will be banning users who use the platform to repeatedly body-shame other people.

Bumble said he has updated the content moderator guidelines to provide specific guidance on body shaming. Users who use a language that falls into this category in their profile or app chat feature will first be warned of inappropriate behaviour. If there are recurring incidents or particularly harmful comments, Bumble will remove them altogether from the app.

Body-shaming on this platform constitutes both sending people messages critical of their body or health or writing that a certain body type is unacceptable or undesirable in your bio.

The dating app, which has been immensely popular with millennials and competes with other apps such as Match Group’s Tinder, said it had 42 million monthly active users as of the third quarter of 2020, and 2.4 million paying users in the nine months ended September.

The widely-used dating apps provide an excellent platform to undertake political conversions. Candidates are not ready to let go of any opportunity to influence a potential voter in a tight contest where every vote counts.&nbsp;

In fact, just days ahead of the Iowa caucus, Democratic presidential candidate - Elizebeth Warren was all ears to the&nbsp;"digital plan", when one of her supporters reportedly pitched the idea to her.

He called the strategy "Tinder banking".&nbsp;
