This resonates, especially the bit about dating being tougher with more AI noise and meaningless matches. What I’m seeing in real life is that the daters who thrive in 2026 aren’t chasing volume; they’re the ones who bring self-awareness, presence, and emotional steadiness into the room. It’s less about getting noticed, and more about being someone worth choosing.

Almost everyone? depends on your social circle, at least 25-40% still meet their partners outside of apps.
