Love comes in different ‘ships’ and sizes these days because gone are the days of single or taken, as the dating world is constantly evolving. A new survey shows that modern love is not defined by simple relationships, it's the world of infinite possibilities.
Indian dating app QuackQuack's founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented, “We are in the revolutionary age of dating; every connection made has a meaning today, and they are divided into bite-sized categories. It’s modern, it’s even messy, but it is still made of very real feelings. Relationships that don’t fit into traditional boxes are no longer considered meaningless.”
The app surveyed 11923 daters from Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, all between the ages of 18 and 30. Participants were selected from different educational and professional fields, aiming for a more conclusive study. The poll found that over 57 per cent of daters have boarded some form of ship that isn’t the plain old relationship.
