Vice President JD Vance expresses significant concerns regarding dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, suggesting they contribute to a decline in meaningful relationships among youth. In a recent discussion with Pope Leo XIV, Vance articulated that technology has hindered direct communication between young men and women, leading to decreased rates of dating, marriage, and family formation. He warned that the rise of AI and online interactions could further isolate individuals, making genuine connections more challenging and resulting in a profound impact on society's fabric, especially regarding family dynamics.
If you look at basic dating behavior among young people - and I think a lot of this is that the dating apps are probably more destructive than we fully appreciate.
I think part of it is technology has just for some reason made it harder for young men and young women to communicate with each other in the same way.
There's a level of isolation, I think, mediated through technology, that technology can be a bit of a salve.
Our young men and women just aren't dating, and if they're not dating, they're not getting married, they're not starting families.
