  • Two women in Helsinki shared their views on dating apps and the qualities they seek in a partner.
  • They expressed frustration with the current dating culture but did not completely dismiss the apps.
  • The discussion touched upon the perceived scarcity of "best men" and the desire for experienced partners.

Helsinki women in their mid-twenties are navigating the complexities of modern dating, with many finding the landscape challenging. Ulpu Vuori, 25, and Rebekka Flygare, 26, recently shared their candid thoughts on dating apps and the elusive "best man" while sitting at a cafe in Helsinki.

Their conversation, which touched upon the frustrations of contemporary dating culture, highlighted a common sentiment: the feeling that desirable partners are already taken. While acknowledging the problems inherent in dating applications, neither woman was ready to dismiss them entirely, suggesting a reluctant reliance on these platforms.

When asked about the qualities they look for in a partner, experience emerged as a significant factor. The women's discussion points to a desire for men who have a certain level of maturity and life experience, perhaps indicating a search for partners who are past the initial stages of figuring themselves out and are ready for a more established relationship.
