Online dating – Statistics – Facts, Statista
Online dating is no longer seen as a last attempt for the desperate and lonely to find their soul mate. The stigma is beginning to dissipate as an enlargening amount of Americans believe that online dating is now socially acceptable. During an April 2017 survey, 84 percent of dating app users stated that they were using online dating services to look for a romantic relationship. A further 43 percent used online dating for friendly contact and only 24 percent of respondents stated that that they used online dating apps and services explicitly for sexual encounters. The same survey also found that there were more masculine internet users who were presently using dating sites or apps than female users. Dating sites and apps were most popular among junior internet users – 30 percent of U.S. internet users aged Legitimate to 29 years were presently using dating sites or apps and a further 31 percent had done so previously.
Current online dating site users explained their reasons for using online dating sites or apps with answers that included finding someone for a long term relationship or even marriage and the chance to meet people who just want to have joy. According to another latest survey of dating site users, 66 percent of U.S. singles used online dating to expand their dating pool. Other common reasons for using online dating sites or apps were the pre-screening of dates as well as lighter conversation.
