Nowadays, those looking for potential dates using dating apps, have quite a few options to choose from. And I don’t mean people. They can choose from quite a few apps; some, though, are more popular than others.
As there are literally millions of fish in the sea that is Tinder (or a different popular dating app), its users might have to swipe through quite a few profiles before they find the right match. But many people do! The aforementioned Pew Research Center’s survey found that roughly 10% of adults who are married, living with a partner, or in a committed romantic relationship met their current significant other using a dating site or a dating app. Anotherresearch suggeststhat around one-third of marriages (in the US) start online.
Even though many people find love and even spouses usingdating apps, not everyone is equally content with such applications. According to the Pew Research Center, just over half of people—53%, to be exact—who have ever used a dating site or app say that their experiences have been very or somewhat positive, while 46% say that theirs have been very or somewhat negative.
