(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Joon-seok = Contrary to the popular belief that you will meet the other person you met online, a study has shown that if you meet the other person through a dating app (application), the relationship is maintained for a longer time.
Researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland analyzed the case of 3,235 adults who had been in love within the last 10 years, CNN reported on the 31st (local time).
The researchers said that couples who met through dating apps had a greater desire to live together than in other cases, and “There were some cases where they tried to live together before marriage.”
In addition, many women who met with the app answered that they would like to have children sooner or later, and the couples met with the app showed high satisfaction with their relationship and life.
The researchers added that when meeting with a dating app, there were relatively many high-educated female-low-educated male couples and’Long D'(long-distance dating) couples.
Hina Potarka of the Institute for Demographics and Socio-economics at the University of Geneva said, “Dating apps are gaining popularity due to the recent blockade of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).” I’m putting it.”
The research results were published on the 30th in the online international journal’PLOS ONE’.
