Is modern dating a disaster or dream come true?

This week screening as part of the ABC2 Dating & Mating week, Hack Live: Swipe Right takes a look at how we hook up in the 21st century.

Over 3 million Australians under 30 are single – that’s a lot of us playing the dating game.

And with 44% of young people having used a dating app or website according to triple j’s 2016 survey of its listeners – this is the new normal. Online dating, like everything else about the Internet, has increased convenience, multiplied our options and lowered the barriers. Is all this encouraging a culture of casual sex and loveless one night stands based on an endless cycle of meet, seduce and repeat or have they changed the way we find relationships today?

From pick-up apps to one night stands to the people who’ll pimp your tinder profile and those who haven’t figured out the rules of the modern dating game. Does anyone still meet in real-life, or has the dating landscape fundamentally changed forever? How is it impacting on our relationships – and ultimately our chances of love?

Thursday 1 December 9.30pm on ABC2.
