Joseph Feminella launched his dating app 'First Round's on Me' to encourage real-life meetings, inspired by his own experience of meeting his wife the same night they matched.
Feminella's approach skips traditional swiping, allowing users to send date invites and opens chat only 24 hours before the meeting, facilitating genuine interactions.
As younger daters shift away from major apps like Tinder and Bumble, new platforms, particularly in Los Angeles, are emerging, aiming to foster in-person connections.
Despite the ongoing profitability of the online dating sector, major players face stagnating growth due to changing preferences among younger audiences like Gen Z.
