Global Love Report – July 17th, 2024
English summary by Margaret Wuwur
A recent study by Parship.at, an online dating agency based in Austria, reveals that 2.3 million Austrians have found love through the internet, whether via websites, social media, or dating apps. The data shows that 1.5 million people have moved in with someone they met through an online date, 450,000 have gotten married, and 350,000 children have been born to online couples.
Over the past 20 years, online dating has significantly changed how Austrians meet their partners. Currently, 35% of all couples in the country have met online. The study, conducted by marketagent.com in May 2024, surveyed 1,560 Austrians aged 18 to 75 and revealed that nearly half of the population has met someone online for a date.
The success of online dating in Austria is attributed to the compatibility of people with similar interests and lifestyles, as well as the ease of approaching someone over the internet.
