At 50, Jennie Young started using several dating apps and felt that they were all toxic.
The Burned Haystack Dating Method began as an academic project and now has a Facebook group with over 128,000 members.
In February 2023, she started a Facebook group for the Burned Haystack Dating Method.
Articles from 2024 alone included: "It's Not You: Dating Apps are Getting Worse" in The New York Times; "America is Sick of Swiping: Dating Apps are Falling Back to Earth" in The Atlantic; and "Why Gen Z is Ditching Dating Apps" in Time.
The project evolved into a new dating method that I named the Burned Haystack Dating Method.
