Although we cannot leave the house, it is a great time to meet people through dating apps
Confinement at home, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, has generated a new phenomenon: “slow dating.” And, those singles who turn to dating applications now find that swiping images of other singles is somewhat boring. Even with the inability to leave, there are more and more conversations between users, which are highlighting the importance of the knowing someone special emotionally more than physically.
According to data from the online dating app “Meetic”, conversations between singles have increased. In Europe, the exchange of messages has soared 10% since the health alert began. And this increase shows that Spanish singles are not so superficial. In fact, personality is more important to them than appearance. This is indicated by 90% of singles in Spain, for whom sharing the same interests with that special person whom they have noticed is important; having the same values is also fundamental for 94% of them.
Another data that confirms that Spaniards who do not have a partner look at other aspects, beyond the profile photo, is that 75% of them would participate in a conversation, even if the photo is not to their liking. And 64% say they would start a real love story, even if they don’t like the appearance.
