Ever wondered 'dating from home' can be exciting too? Yes, it can be while
sitting on your couch sipping hot coffee or lying in your bed browsing multiple
'dating apps' at your ease. And for sure, considering the current pandemic
situation where the millennials have no choice but to be at home, 'dating
online' to find the 'perfect match' looks the only way. In fact, QuackQuack, a
leading dating app in India, conducted a survey recently among millennials to
find out; what it is like to be dating online. The survey that was conducted in
major metro cities across users of age group 25-35 years reveals many aspects
our 'desi lovers' look for these days. Be it having an 'interesting
partner' over his/her looks to dating an older woman or making the first move
to find the 'perfect match', millennials are in for all odd options.
Incomplete profile, a major turnoff for millennials
Looks like, for a majority of millennials, a
profile without a photo is a major turnoff. Well, people still believe in the
fact that, 'First impression is the last impression'. So, yes, for 45% of men,
a profile without a photo is a ‘big no’, while 27% of women dislike a profile
if the common interests don’t match. On the other hand, 13% of men would
dislike a user profile for bad looks and 13% of women would show no interest if
the bio/about section of the guy is incomplete.
While a major turnoff for both the genders is a profile without a photo, women
still give higher preference to common interests, than men.
Men don’t mind making the first move, ladies do
Even though there’s a famous saying ‘Ladies
First’, when it comes to making the first move, obviously our men take the
first seat. Yes, according to the survey by QuackQuack, 88% men don’t mind
making the first move, while 77% of women expect the guy to text them first.
But surprisingly, there are still 12% women who don’t mind making the first
move and breaking the ice. Well, these women fall in the ‘Ladies First’
category for sure.
Age is just a number!
We’ve heard this enough that 'age is just a
number' and hence when we asked the millennials if they would be okay to date
someone older/younger. 81% of men gave a nod to dating someone older than
them. Whereas 50% of women said they don’t mind being in a relationship with
someone younger, the remaining 50% would never date someone who is not
mature at their level.
Men are okay if their date tags along a friend, while women are not
Men will be men! This phrase was proven when 56%
of men said that they are okay if their date comes along with a friend. While
77% women on the other hand are pretty clear about not being okay if their date
is accompanied by a friend. Rather, they will prefer a private affair. Well,
that sounds cool. A date should be a date and not a ‘we meet’.
