Recent reports have suggested a surge in online dating participants over the past few years. The increase could be due in part to some new mobile apps and other innovations in the field. So how many people are currently using online dating compared to a few years ago? And what are the most popular sites and platforms?
Online Dating
In Ask Your Target Market’s latest survey, 6% of respondents said that they are currently using at least one online dating platform. And another 18% said that they have tried online dating in the past. In an October 2013 survey, 28% of respondents said that they had tried online dating at that point, so it seems that users haven’t really increased in the last couple of years. https://aytm.com/blog/daily-survey-results/online-dating-survey-2/
