VANCOUVER SUN – Feb 9 – "I think most of the stigma of meeting online really is gone," says Justin McLeod, the founder and CEO of Hinge, during a virtual conference. "Meeting through an app is the number-one way that people are meeting their partners." The pandemic is certainly helping to accelerate that percentage, and now users are finding a new way to get acquainted with potential partners: video dates. 81% of users who try video dates reported the experience was "not at all awkward", and a third of people say that they are open to dating someone exclusively who they've only met on video dating. Another benefit to the video dating boom, experts say, is that ghosting is down by ~20%.
