Thursday, October 7, 2021

Dating.com Reveals a Majority of Single Women Have Changed their Approach to Dating In a World Defined by Covid

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dating.com, part of the Dating Group and the company behind numerous online dating sites, announces today data from its latest survey, revealing single women have changed their approach to dating in a Covid world. Standout survey data include:

    --  Pre-pandemic, almost half (40%) of women were guilty of partaking in
        dating without intention.
    --  Post-pandemic, a majority (85%) are intentionally seeking a steady
        partner.
    --  30% have changed their relationship goals because of last year's dating
        experiences.
    --  A majority of respondents (77%) said they aren't interested in settling
        for anyone who doesn't meet their dating standards, even in the short
        term.
    --  58% of women go on dates based on the number of interactions they have
        with a match, while 47% will go on a date purely based on physical
        attractiveness
    --  While 60% of single women were open to short-term flings pre-pandemic,
        now 85% of them are seeking a stable relationship.

During the pandemic, life slowed down and forced singles to evaluate what's truly important to them. Dating.com found that women are increasingly looking for a potential partner to develop a meaningful long-term connection with. The online dating giant's findings point to the following trends:

    --  Many single women have cited feeling "drained" by serial dating with no
        clear intentions in mind. More than ever before, women are prioritizing
        meaningful connections rather than entertaining casual, one-sided
        relationships.
    --  Rather than wasting time waiting for attractive potential dates to
        respond, single women are more likely to invest their time in those who
        proactively and frequently engage them in conversations on the site,
        regardless of their potential dates' appearance.
    --  Single women shared that with "nice guys," they never feel confused
        about whether their prospect is interested, the status of the
        relationship, and where it's headed - whether or not labels have been
        specifically discussed.
    --  After the last year and a half, single women shared that they are now
        more attracted to dates who are consistent and dependable. Women
        expressed that a relationship with someone who guarantees stability is
        key amid Covid and ongoing uncertainty.

"Intentionality is the new trend in dating," says Maria Sullivan, Vice President and Dating Expert of Dating.com. "Over the past year and a half, singles have turned their focus inward, and reflected on many important aspects of their lives - including online dating. A significant portion of these women have realized that they only want to make genuine connections, and they have redefined what they feel might be their 'perfect match'. They're excited to get back out there, but they're also setting aside time to really get to know their dates - from their values to what they want in life and most importantly, what their relationship goals are for the near future."
