Let’s be honest — a lot of us are feeling a bit lonely.

And we’re well and truly over the dating apps.

Swiping is a cycle of hope, let-downs, weird chats, and straight-up boredom. It’s draining — and most of the time, it’s not leading anywhere.

Is this just what dating looks like now?
Maybe. But in real life, things feel different. You can actually have a laugh, meet decent people, and maybe even feel a spark.

Welcome to Fuck the Dating Apps.
A community built on a simple idea: genuine connection happens face to face — not through a screen.

We host fun, relaxed events where you can meet new people without the awkwardness of having to approach a stranger, or the exhausting intensity of speed dating. You might find someone special. You might just have a good night out and a yarn with someone new.

Either way, you’ll leave feeling a little less alone. And that’s a bloody good start.
