I created a mind map based on an article from Forbes Health, detailing various users and their opinions on dating in 2023. This included an array of useful statistics. I felt that this article was absolutely golden in defining the problem through the opinion of real people and users.
I felt I was being very doom and gloom in regards to dating apps. I want to make it clear that I know that dating apps are not inherently bad. I created a mind map detailing the positives of dating apps.

<aside> ⭐ REFLECTION - There is a large scope for work in this area. I feel really excited about where this project is heading. I didn’t think at the beginning of my ideation that I would be creating a dating app UI however my reasons for doing so are more than just about finding people matches. Instead, I am trying to eradicate many problems that arise from them, such as negative effects on mental health, social disconnection, catfishing - the list is endless.
