SINGAPORE — When it comes to dating, Generation Zs — those born between 1998 and 2007 — believe in being"authentic" while prioritising self-care and mental health. And they hope that their prospective partners do the same.The study polled 4,000 actively dating singles aged 18 to 25 between Jan 21 and Feb 7, 2023 — and another 4,000 singles aged 33 to 38 over the same period — in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia.
“This is a cohort that’s prioritising qualities like intentionality and transparency, with self-love and personal fulfilment being a primary consideration," according to the app. Mr Donovan Chew, 23, a Nanyang Technological University undergraduate, said he feels sceptical about starting a relationship that deals with his partner's"emotional baggage".
Mr Cheam, who is studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, added:"Doing your best in school and working out are some examples supporting this mindset... you should be able to survive whether your partner is present or not." Dr Annabelle Chow, a clinical psychologist at Annabelle Psychology, said that “Gen Zs have more intention to protect their self-care, where self-care is in the front and centre, and everything else should work around that, and this is more verbalised amongst Gen Zs than in other generations".
For respondents aged 18 to 25, 86 per cent said that a major"green flag" for them was feeling comfortable being themselves with their date. “In fact, three in four 33- to 38-year-olds agreed that dating games — like playing hard to get, giving mixed signals, playing the field — were all accepted as “normal” when they were between 18-25 years old", the report said.
