What brings singles into the big world of online dating? Is it a longing for love and security or are they just looking for non-binding adventures? And what role do dating agencies play in this?
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer. Couples are now ringing in the cozy season - candlelight, cuddling up together on the couch, a fire crackling in the fireplace... For singles, however, autumn can be quite gloomy and lonely. What to do? A suitable date is needed! All too quickly, a dating app is installed on the smartphone in the hope of finding true love. But can you really find it there – or just the quick number?
The Internet is now a guide for all situations in life. Online shopping, search engines, games – and of course it can also help with finding a partner thanks to numerous portals and apps. But do online daters have advantages and if so, what are they? What preferences can be derived from this?
First of all, more people from big cities are trying to find their partner on the Internet. Those from rural regions tend to opt for the analogue, conventional route. According to surveys, most users are between 24 and 35 years old. Singles with tattoos who are not averse to alcohol and are interested in lifestyle and street art are strikingly often liked. Hobbies vary - women like to cook, go swimming or be active in some other way. Men like music and being around people. They are looking for adventure and like to show themselves climbing, surfing or skateboarding in their photos.
“Although it is easier to make friends online, you can never be sure who is on the other side of the screen. Online singles often provide false information about their age, relationship status or even gender. They often state that they are looking for something different than what is actually the case,” says Markus Poniewas, an experienced consultant at the dating agency PV-Exklusiv (www.pv-exklusiv.de). The company, based in Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach, is active throughout the German-speaking region and has been successfully bringing people of quality together for many years - for a common future.
The majority of women seek their happiness by flirting and chatting online
Whether it's a non-binding adventure or true love - online daters register on relevant platforms for various reasons. The majority of women still try their luck at flirting and chatting online. Some resort to dating agencies with psychological tests. While the majority of women long for a stable relationship, men often like things without commitment. About one in three men are just looking for an adventure online, and quite a few of them are even married.
“So if you really want to meet your life partner, you should contact a reputable dating agency. The experts in love matters know their customers exactly and find out in personal conversations what their likes, dislikes, motivations and life goals are. This makes it possible to achieve a really good 'match' in which the man and woman agree on what they expect from their date,” emphasizes Markus Poniewas, who is active with his team throughout the German-speaking region.
Customers of large agencies even benefit from an enormous reach. They rely on the best possible distribution of placement advertisements in top-level media in order to reach sophisticated singles.
