The Women’s Podcast with Róisín Ingle
When dating apps like Tinder and Hinge arrived on the scene more than ten years ago, they represented a new exciting frontier in the world of online dating. Daters could swipe right or left through what appeared to be a never-ending stream of potential partners, what’s not to love?
Speaking to podcast presenter Róisín Ingle, McDermott says some of it comes down to Ireland’s lack of dating culture. “We had a ‘will ya meet my mate’, let’s get tipsy and score in the pub culture…so I think for Irish people, the idea of saying very openly, I want to meet someone, I want to find love feels vulnerable”.

It creates a sense of cynicism that stops them putting effort and thought into their use of it”.
