Lanzi Weideman on Gen Z Dating, Breakups & Finding Love in Dubai

Dubai is full of ambitious people, beautiful places, and endless opportunities to meet someone new. So why does dating still feel so complicated? In this episode of Dating in Dubai, millionaire and billionaire matchmaker turned tech founder Christiana Maxion sits down with Lanzi Weideman, founder of Lanzi Media, for an honest conversation about modern dating, heartbreak, ambition, dating apps, and what it is really like to search for love as a Gen Z entrepreneur in Dubai. Filmed at Arrogante Dubai, the conversation explores the differences between dating in Dubai and South Africa, why endless options can make commitment harder, what happens when a relationship you thought would lead to marriage suddenly ends, and why the best connections often happen when people stop trying to impress each other.
