Dating in Collapse was anything but depressing; it was redefining and illuminating (according to the post event survey 😀)

But true optimism must come from looking at things clearly; what we lost, what we downloaded, what died along the way and why it all matters if we want to course correct modern dating.

That’s what these are not singles events…(yet). These are events, discussions and talks about what happened to the experience of being single across culture, technology and more.

There was so much energy around a seemingly dismal topic, we might do it again very soon!

From the rapid rise of Farmers Only to the evolving language of dating, these are the things we need to look at.

And How to Date Humans is willing to figure out what’s next!

Massive thanks to our incredible partners
Who saw that dating need a new frame and a deeper conversation ☀️🙏🏾🎉
