Fed up of swiping left or right on dating apps, young London singles are returning to a classic British way of meeting people--the pub--with a modern twist: a PowerPoint presentation by a close friend pitching them as dating material. Dating apps are fading in popularity in the UK, with usage across the 10 biggest platforms falling 16 percent between 2023 and 2024, according to Global Dating Insights. Polling shows nearly half of users have had negative experiences on apps like Tinder and Hinge.

00:08Give us a wave, Ewan. Give us a wave, Ewan.
00:13Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not going to waste your time and neither is my mate.
00:16It is Ewan. Ewan is 28 and straight.
00:23He's a strapping Scottish man. He is confident and funny. What a catch.
00:28The answer is, of course, no. You don't want to date someone who can DJ. You want someone who tried
00:33to DJ.
00:39Love that. What a start. What a start.
00:43We are going to have five presentations in the first section, then we're going to have a little break.
00:47You've got the cards in front of you that are on there.
00:49Today I'm going to be auctioning, I mean, selling, presenting my bestie, Sienna.
00:55So she is taking applications for men.
01:00She lives in London. She's obviously gorgeous.
01:03And, okay, let's just get to it. She's from Hawaii.
01:06So that's a major flex.
01:08What you're signing up for is obviously fun, a little bit of chaos, and, uh, Hawaii. Yeah.
01:15Two tickets.
01:16Yeah, Sienna, shoot your shot. She's amazing.
01:22Yay!
01:25She's looking to choose between a lifestyle, aren't you?
01:28You can't make it up. You can't make it up.
01:31Next up.
01:32Single, ready to mingle.
01:34And his name is Will.
01:36It's one syllable. It's really easy to remember.
01:40Uh, but why trust me? Why take my word for this?
01:43You know, what, what, basically, he's my best mate.
01:46I know what I'm talking about, so take my word for it when I say this guy's an absolute catch.
01:50Just so Zach knows, could I, if anybody here is single, can you make some noise so Zach knows about
01:56it, please?
01:57He's straight. His sex is male, because, uh, yes, please wasn't an option.
02:03Height, height, tall enough, weight, frankly, none of your business.
02:06Uh, not much fun is happening without Zach.
02:09But worth noting, if Zach's speaking to somebody, I'm still single as well, so fun with me.
02:15Pretty good option as well.
02:16Look at those stars.
02:18Here he is running a half marathon for charity.
02:21God, duh, get it.
02:23Uh, he's run four half marathons.
02:25He's training for a full marathon.
02:27Uh, but let's do some cons.
02:29Alright, everyone's got pros, everyone's got cons.
02:31Let's get into some cons.
02:32I don't have much of a point showing this.
02:35Give it up a win, everybody!

02:47We need to record it.
02:48Can you record it?
02:49Can you record it?
03:11Um, a bit more about Lauren, she's 30, she's a structural engineer, so even though she, um, will stop walls
03:23from falling down, she'll always be there to support you.
03:27She also likes going out for dinners, drinks with friends and going to festivals and raves.
03:32Um, interesting fact, she's just about to submit her sexy fantasy romance book to publishers.
