On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent and Dave continue their exploration of the impacts of dating apps on mental health.

They start by having a cheeky chat around some pet peeves related to their experiences on the apps before discussing their thoughts and responses to some listener questions. The boys did a shout out on their social media to find out what listeners wanted to know more about related to the impacts of dating apps on mental health, and some of the topics they cover include whether the apps:

make it easier to access relationships and connections,
make navigating communication simpler,
are just all about hooking up and promoting “hookup culture”,
allow for romantic and sexual exploration, and/or
promote safe spaces for our communities to engage.

Please keep in mind, the discussions, topics, and advice provided as part of this podcast are general in nature. They should not replace specific and individualised mental health support that might be needed.
