Study: Online Dating Causes People To Lower Their Standards
28Feb - by Kate Ferguson - 4 - In Beauty Studies Men Studies Relationship Studies Women Studies
BRISBANE — Dating apps are an extremely popular way to socialize and pick up others these days, but recent research suggests they might actually lead people to lower their standards as well.
According to researchers at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia, singles tend to have a clear idea as to what’s on their dating wish lists, but are actually more likely to go out with people they met online who don’t actually meet those requirements.
Behavioral economists Stephen Whyte and Professor Benno Torgler were behind the research published as “Preference vs Choice in Online Dating” in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behaviour and Social Networking. They watched the behavior of nearly 42,000 people between the ages of 18 and 80 who were using an Australian dating site called “RSVP” from Jan. 2016 through April 2016. About 78 percent of the participants were men.
Whyte explained the intentions of the study.
“We looked at whether or not people actually contact people who match what they say is their ideal partner in their profile, and our findings show they don’t,” he says in a university release. “Stating a preference for what you are looking for appears to have little to no bearing on the characteristics of people you actually contact.”
I . . . am not going to say a thing, except that I met my wife the old-fashioned way, through actually meeting her face-to-face (on a bus) . . . :whistling:

Yeah, but 'swiping left' or 'swiping right' might knock someone's drink over. That could cause a fight . . . :hammer:

Hey, wait a minute. I met my wife in a bar. She was a waitress, but we've been together for over 30 years .

Opining, or opening? Either could work, I guess.

I always worry Chrome extensions will suck both my mind and precious bodily fluids and send them to the Mothership.
