Data on the Dating Market

There’s more than just your personality at play.
14.7% The Action Gap
Only 1 in 7 dating app matches results in a real-world date. The current market is optimized for digital engagement, not human connection.
79% Market Burnout
Nearly 80% of dating app users report emotional exhaustion. Toxic dating cycles are a byproduct of low-vetting environments.
28% The Fragility Factor
App-based connections are 28% more likely to collapse within a year. Digital discovery lacks the "social glue" of a shared community.
50% The Accountability Gap
Half of all online daters report being "ghosted" annually. In a market without standards, individuals are treated as interchangeable.

Are you showing up on the map?

Great guys exist, so why can’t great women find them?! If you know you have the raw material of a great partner—character, kindness, and stability—why does it seem like you are invisible in the dating market?

You don’t need more money or status. You need a way to showcase the qualities you already have. A polish of your raw materials can allow your true character to shine through and unlock the path to a lasting connection.

Curious how your raw materials map to modern dating?
