Wall Street is Breaking Up with Dating Apps

Dating apps were the darling of Wall Street a decade ago but there is trouble in the relationship. The largest companies Match.Com and Bumble lost more than $40 billion in market value the past two years as their millennial users found their partners and Generation Z doesn't like paying to find dates. Mandy Wang, an 18-year-old NYU student, said subscribing to them is "ick." "People use dating apps, but I don't know anyone who pays for it," she said.

Breaking up is never easy, but knowing me and knowing you that's the best I can do.

FTA-

More than 1 in 4 Gen Z adults in the U.S. identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, dwarfing the percentages of LGBTQ Americans in older age groups, a new survey has found.

" More than 1 in 4 Gen Z adults in the U.S. identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer"

Try rechecking the study. It asked if people were members of LGBTQIA+. The plus stands for supportive allies.

This straight guy would've answered yes.

In the headlines, LGBTQ is splashed.

In the articles, it's LGBTQ+.

Gen Z knows what the "+" means. Everyone freaking out clearly doesn't.

@#12 ... Gen Z knows what the "+" means. Everyone freaking out clearly doesn't. ...

Yup.

Republicans like their women in the kitchen, at times pregnant.

Republicans do not appear to view women as being able to contribute to society, aside from their ability to have children.
