Abstract: This empirical study aims to investigate the contemporary romantic relationship landscape and the experiences of dating app users in China. In addition, this study examines whether there is a possible correlation between dating app usage and superficiality in post-modern relationships. A survey was conducted with 149 participants, analyzing their attitudes towards romantic relationships, experiences with superficiality, and dating app usage. Results showed that while individuals still prioritize romantic relationships, there may be a growing trend among women to place less importance on romance. The study found no significant correlation between dating app usage and superficiality, but a significant proportion of participants reported negative experiences and quit using dating apps. The study suggests changes are needed to address these issues and promote the continued use of dating apps. The study provides valuable insights into the romantic relationship landscape of modern Chinese.
