Women Today Are Rejecting Traditional Dating Standards

Posted on February 6, 2017

Okcupid logo aktualniOKCUPID BLOG – Feb 6 – Data proves that women are continuously gaining confidence in dating, and beyond. OkCupid discovered that only 20% of single women on the site believe that men should be the heads of their households. That's down from 30% in 2008. Additionally, single women are feeling way less obligated to maintain social standards of beauty, too. Women are ~15% more likely to ask someone they like a lot out on a date than women a decade ago. Women who send the first message on OkCupid are 2.5 times more likely to receive a response than men who do.

    Yes, women today are technologically smarter than the women from 20 years ago. And the online dating sites are some of the easiest mediums to find a significant other; even according to the choice and desired characteristic. It’s the fastest medium too. And the network is vast. So much vast that, they are confirmed that at least there will be one person having the similar mindset. They have become more fearless too. They are free of making any decisions. It doesn’t matter if one guy doesn’t like. I think this is the main reason why they are turning towards the online dating sites and making the first move.
    But they should be remain alert always and know all the possible ways how catfishing occur these days. It would be best and remain in the safest zone if they check their online partner’s background and knowing if there are any arrest records or criminal records in their name.
