Dating apps have also become much less taboo in recent years, as 61% of adults in the United States believe that relationships that started online can be just as successful as those that started in person. Plus, it’s still quite rare to find someone that you really connect with, even after swiping through thousands of profiles on an app. Apparently, a quarter of matches receive no response at all, and men only match on 0.6% of their right swipes. So if you manage to find love in a sea of rejection and cringey profiles, you should be very proud of that!
