Biography

Malthe Sebastian Rye Thomsen is a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen with a focus on exploring how technology influences the dating experiences of young adults in Denmark. His research emphasizes the role of online dating platforms in shaping romantic interactions and the societal impacts of a 'rejection mindset'. This perspective entails examining the contrast between ideal expectations in dating and the real challenges faced, such as the prevalent phenomenon of 'ghosting', where individuals abruptly cease communication. His work suggests that these modern dating practices are closely tied to contemporary market conditions and an increasing emphasis on immediate gratification, potentially undermining long-term romantic commitments. By employing a phenomenological approach, Malthe aims to deepen the understanding of the structural factors at play in contemporary dating culture and its effects on personal relationships.
