Swipe Fatigue: Why Hookups Burn You Out: (and What to Do About It)

Feeling drained by dating apps? You're not alone.

Swipe Fatigue is the eye-opening guide for gay men navigating the highs and lows of modern hookup culture. With sharp wit and heartfelt honesty, Philip Garcia unpacks the emotional toll of app-based dating and casual flings, and offers a path to something more nourishing.

Whether you've grown numb from endless matches or are tired of late-night messages that go nowhere, this book helps you recognise the signs of emotional burnout and reclaim your desire for meaningful connection. Garcia doesn't shame hookups, but he does expose how today's swipe culture exploits emotional vulnerability, leaving you stuck in a cycle of attention, emptiness, and retreat.

If you've ever said "maybe I'm just meant to be single" or felt worse after a hookup than before, this book is your call to reset. Insightful, affirming, and empowering, Swipe Fatigue is the antidote to dating disillusionment. It's time to ditch the dopamine circus, and date on your terms.
