The dating and friendship app asked the survey participants what makes them hit like on one person’s profile while passing on another
A whopping 59% of men and women declared that the ones they choose to ignore almost always exhibit something that poses as a deal-breaker for them
India’s most downloaded dating app, QuackQuack, studied 12000 of its users from tier 1 and tier 2 cities, ranging between 25 and 35. The dating and friendship app asked the survey participants what makes them hit like on one person’s profile while passing on another. A whopping 59% of these men and women declared that the ones they choose to ignore almost always exhibit something that poses as a deal-breaker for them. Trying to understand these determining deal-breakers or non-negotiables, as you may, the app asked these young daters to elaborate. Here is what the study shows; almost 24% of the daters above 30 will pass on a person based on their job and educational qualification. The survey result also shows that ignoring to mention these basics in your dating profile will also lead to more rejections.
Ravi Mittal, founder and CEO, says, “From the approximately 24 million chats exchanged last month, we noticed age and differing moral values to be the most frequently mentioned non-negotiables for daters. Most daters are seeking genuine profiles to get serious with; we have recently launched a new feature that gives our users real-time data on the suspended accounts. This feature comes as an industry first move to show how the app takes swift action against suspicious profiles.”
