New Delhi: When it comes to online dating, 73 per cent of women prioritise emotional attachment in comparison to 55 per cent of men, said a new report. Overall, the majority of the users are looking for emotional attachment than physical connection which means people are moving beyond casual dating and looking for an emotional connection, said the report by dating platform QuackQuack.
Meeting in person is the preferred choice of people in the 21-30 age group as well as above age 31 as they seek to make real connections. On the contrary, 46 per cent of youngsters (below age 20) would prefer virtual dating, said the report.
The majority of people do not think a virtual date is enough to decide on a partner and would want to meet their date in person.
"The dating behaviour of millennials and Gen Z has evolved, more so with the advent of online dating and also, pandemic. Longer chat conversations, meeting over a movie/series or Netflix are some of the common dating trends," Ravi Mittal, Founder of QuackQuack, said in a statement.
