Dating hasn`t gotten louder, faster, or messier as many predicted. Instead, it has become smarter, and it is not only men but also the women, who are make sure that they are in control.

According to a recent consumer study by Indian dating app QuackQuack, 57 per cent of women actively use new-age techniques and strategies to filter, protect, and attract the most compatible matches. The non-stop swiping with the "the next one might be even better" mentality, or the matching for validation, is slowly coming to an end. The survey reveals that it is being replaced by an intentional and self-protecting dating style, which has altered how profiles are curated, conversations unfold, and connections are formed.
