Valentine`s Day -- the day of grand romantic gestures for some and sitting at home with no plans for others. To settle the debate on the importance of the day, India dating app with over 35 million users, QuackQuack, surveyed over 12,000 daters. The results revealed an interesting insight, putting people into two primary groups- the lovebirds who wait eagerly for it and those who think the February 14 is just another Friday.
The app`s founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, said, "In the weeks leading up to Valentine`s Day, we see a lot of changes in users` dating patterns. Our survey shows approximately 6 in 10 daters are all wrapped up in planning and in on the love fest, and it reflects on their chat pattern and login period."
Data for the survey conducted in the first week of February was collected from Tier 1, 2, and 3 daters aged 18 to 38. Respondents included a mix of new joiners, daters using the app for more than four months, singles, couples, and long-distance matches for a more exhaustive insight.
