"People are waiting longer to get married, if they marry at all. Among those who are single, about half say they aren't looking for a partner. As these trends suggest, some Americans are choosing to disengage from the dating market, a decision that can be attributed to a broad range of factors, from dating app burnout to rising costs of living."
"Rather than browsing the self-help section of a bookstore, many people now get their advice from social media. Unlike perusing the bookshelf to decide what you want to read, social-media algorithms serve up content based on your existing interests and demographics. Algorithms collect data about what you and others like you view and will show you related content for greater engagement."
A romantic recession has led many people to delay marriage or opt out of dating, with about half of single Americans not seeking partners. Multiple factors contribute to disengagement from the dating market, including dating-app burnout and rising living costs. Relationship misinformation—false or misleading information about relationships—spreads through media and can shape perceptions. Social-media algorithms amplify content based on viewing habits and demographics, serving related material to increase engagement. Trending anti-relationship topics can shift feeds toward negative or polarizing portrayals, potentially reducing desire for relationships and altering willingness to pursue partners.
