Online -Dating ist immer weit verbreitet. Paare, die sich offline trafen – auf traditionellere Weise – meldeten tendenziell ein etwas höheres Maß an Beziehungszufriedenheit und erlebte Liebe als diejenigen, die sich online trafen. Die Ergebnisse basieren auf national repräsentativen Stichproben aus 50 Ländern.
Couples who meet offline tend to have more satisfying relationships

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:
Meeting partners online is related to lower relationship satisfaction and love: Data from 50 countries

From the linked article:
As online dating becomes increasingly widespread across the globe, a new international study suggests that how couples meet may shape the quality of their romantic relationships. Published in Telematics and Informatics, the research found that couples who met offline — in more traditional ways — tended to report slightly higher levels of relationship satisfaction and experienced love than those who met online. The findings are based on nationally representative samples from 50 countries, providing one of the most comprehensive examinations to date of how digital dating intersects with intimacy.
Honestly it’s cause meeting someone traditionally is not monetized. Dating apps don’t want you to find someone, they want you to not find someone so you’ll buy the premium service.
Go out, date the friends of your friends. Don’t be a product or a consumer
My marriage is a product of Bumble. But I loved my experience; as soon as I would contact someone I would get off the app and meet in person within the week. I was not interested in dating friends of or friends. I want to go outside of my circle to expand my possibilities. To unpredictable personalities, and adventures.
I only ever had online dates, and married a girl I met on a dating app. We now have a son together.
Basically I completely bypassed „traditional“ dating.
>While the differences in satisfaction, intimacy, and passion were relatively small, the gap in commitment was somewhat more pronounced. This pattern held across most of the 50 countries included in the study, suggesting a consistent link between offline meeting contexts and stronger relationship bonds.
Commitment was apparently the main difference. Which isn’t very defined that I saw in the main summary. Marriage? Living together?
I’ve read something before that people who didn’t date because they wanted companionship or something of that nature enjoyed more successful and happier relationships.
I’d guess that people who meet in more traditional ways are more likely to include people who just happened to end up with their significant other. If you aren’t seeking out dating or seeking out companionship, but then meet someone who you find interesting enough to put yourself out there for, the ultimate goal there is wanting to get to know *that person* and to be with *that person*. The goal isn’t to date or to find companionship in that instance. It’s more targeted. Perhaps that plays a role here.
That’s all wild speculation based on something I’m probably misremembering anyway, of course.
