PRWEB – Jan 11 – According to the recent Consumer Reports (CR) survey, 44% of survey respondents who tried online dating said the experience led to a serious long-term relationship or marriage. CR surveyed ~115k people. They were also asked to rate sites and apps based on overall satisfaction. OkCupid, Tinder and Grindr received marginally higher ratings than paid sites. Here is the rating result.
Summarized by the Courtland Brooks team
It’s not a fair comparison, I don’t think, with other consumer services. This isn’t a car or computer. It’s about romance and human relationships. As the article points out:
“…The fact is that online dating is, well, complicated. There’s a whole range of difficult human emotions to contend with: insecurity, disappointment, rejection, maybe heartache. Not to mention it’s a ton of work…”
&
“…Online dating is different from shopping for, say, a sweater, he explains: “Once you decide on the sweater you want, you can get it. But with dating, the sweater has to agree, too…”
But, if you stick at it, you can have success at it: “…But our research also found that online dating, however painful and time-consuming, often does produce the intended result if you use it well—and persevere….”
There – you don’t need to read the article now;-)
