Additionally, about fifty percent of people think that the first photo on someone’s profile is “extremely important.” And if that first photo does not rise to fifty-five percent of viewers’ expectations, they will not even look at the rest of your profile.
Still, these uploaded photos have also proven unreliable. A whopping sixty-seven percent of people have encountered others lying about themselves on the platform– with appearance and age being the top two lies.
And more shockingly, nearly a quarter of people have been completely “catfished” by a match.
All of these negatives do not mean that there are no dating app success stories, though. Perhaps surprisingly, due to the platforms’ hook-up culture, forty-three percent of users have entered a relationship with someone from the app at one point or another.
But, most of these partnerships lasted for less than six months, with only eleven percent lasting longer than one year and fifteen percent lasting longer than two years.
So, perhaps the platforms do work for some people– even if they are few and far between. And if you are considering joining Tinder or the like, only you can weigh your personal costs.
Is it worth it to navigate through tons of people with different relationship expectations than you in hopes of finding the “right one?” Is this much different than daring “in real life,” or is the reality just amplified when online?
