Since then, we\u2019ve asked our daters questions like \u2018Do you think it\u2019s important to have an emotional connection before a physical one?\u2019 and \u2018Would you say I love you to someone you\u2019ve never met in person?\u2019 And through our new questions on dating during lockdown, which have been answered more than 18 million times, we found that people are seeking deeper, more meaningful connections more than ever\u00a0before.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*qsinVfRWv1Vt6knDCH2CAA.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>What people are looking for around the world when it comes to dating definitely differs by culture and location, but all daters have one thing in common: they want to discuss the pandemic. Mentions of \u201ccoronavirus\u201d on OkCupid profiles increased over 2,200% in February compared to the same time last year. For many, this means prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others. Mentions of \u2018coronavirus\u2019 on OkCupid profiles increased 32% between March and December of last year, and mentions of \u2018vaccine\u2019 increased 137% between November and January\u00a02021.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Women are no longer waiting for someone to message\u00a0them<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest trend in online dating that began during the pandemic is young <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> becoming more active and engaged on their dating apps. Recently, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> under 30 on OkCupid sent 28.5% more first messages in January 2021 than they did the same time last year. Without the rush to meet up for a date in-person, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> have felt more in control of their dating lives during the pandemic, and therefore have embraced being the one to reach out and set up virtual\u00a0dates.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cDouble-masking, social distancing and vaccinated\u201d is the new \u201ctall, dark, and handsome\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>People in the United States who answer \u201cYes\u201d to our matching question \u201cWill you get the Covid-19 vaccine?\u201d are receiving 20% more Likes and 12% more Matches. (Globally, those who said \u201cYes\u201d are receiving 13% more Likes and 2.3% more Matches.) And daters are no longer only turning to friends and family for dating advice. They\u2019re also listening to Dr. Fauci. About 20% of Gen Z and Millennial daters are already starting to wear two masks, like Fauci recommended, and those who are double-masking are having more conversations on OkCupid than those who aren\u2019t. There was also a 185% increase in mentions of the word \u201cmask\u201d on OkCupid profiles over the past year, showing that taking precautions during the pandemic is a top priority for singles around the\u00a0world.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*ucK92hF1PvqlS7Yuz8n2mA.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>OkCupid daters have been taking the pandemic very seriously. About 4 in 10 people would cancel a date with someone who didn\u2019t want to take the COVID-19 vaccine and 215,000 people would cancel a date with someone who refused to social distance. So if you are not willing to put on a mask during a global pandemic, you\u2019re likely not getting a message\u00a0back.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Selfies with dogs are cute, but ones with voting stickers are\u00a0sexy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Coming out of 2021, we also saw the pandemic impacting how people prioritize their match\u2019s political views. Over the years, there has been a shift towards more people being opposed to dating outside their party lines, a trend that was heightened during lockdown. In 2019, 53% of respondents said they could not date someone who has strong political opinions that are the exact opposite of theirs, and this jumped to 61% in 2020 and almost 70% so far in 2021. In fact, the percentage of people on OkCupid saying having similar political beliefs is more important than good <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> increased 31.8% in 2020 compared to 2015. So, as lockdown restrictions ease, people will be less concerned about someone\u2019s income or zip code and more about their voting registration and party affiliation.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Long-distance relationships and romance are on the rise, and here to\u00a0stay<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*kK4AXUWaE-XNYXk-p9Dwaw.jpeg\"><\/figure>\n<p>When asked about their post-pandemic plans, daters were 12.4X more likely to say they\u2019d like to find someone special rather than date around. But people aren\u2019t limiting themselves to singles closeby. At the beginning of the pandemic, we encouraged our users to update their location preferences to \u201canywhere,\u201d a free feature on OkCupid. We found that <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> were more likely to expand their preferred location to \u201canywhere\u201d so they can connect across borders. And those people who did saw 5% more conversations than those who\u00a0didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Even those who did not expand their location preference to \u201canywhere\u201d did increase the distance they were willing to travel for love, whether that meant being open to people in other boroughs, cities, states, or even countries. Almost two million people on OkCupid recently said they\u2019re open to long-distance dating, which is why we launched our Passport Stack, which displays daters who fit your preferences, speak a common language with you,<em> and<\/em> are open to matching with people anywhere in the\u00a0world.<\/p>\n<p>And people regardless of gender or location are participating in this trend. While <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> who recently joined OkCupid are 4X more likely to have their location preferences currently set to \u201cAnywhere\u201d compared to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a>, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> are more than twice as likely to \u201cLike\u201d someone who is far away from them than\u00a0<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual dating is now a common practice among singles around the world, but singles are nonetheless eager to meet in person. That is why we are seeing daters doing everything they can to get back to normal, like wearing masks, social distancing, and getting the vaccine as soon as they are able to. But until then, 86% of daters are looking forward to in-person dates once the pandemic is behind us, and when that time comes, we\u2019re confident relationships will be stronger than\u00a0ever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/_\/stat?event=post.clientViewed&amp;referrerSource=full_rss&amp;postId=9c7f38cc98c0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theblog.okcupid.com\/one-year-later-how-covid-19-changed-dating-9c7f38cc98c0\">One Year Later: How Covid-19 Changed Dating<\/a> was originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/theblog.okcupid.com\/\">The OkCupid Blog<\/a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/m\/global-identity?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheblog.okcupid.com%2Fone-year-later-how-covid-19-changed-dating-9c7f38cc98c0\" class=\"autohyperlink\">medium.com\/m\/global-identity?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheblog.okcupid.com%2Fone-year-later-how-covid-19-changed-dating-9c7f38cc98c0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Year Later: How Covid-19 Changed Dating OkCupid data shows how singles have adapted to dating during the\u00a0pandemic It\u2019s been nearly a year since the world shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic, and lockdown has created lasting impacts on dating and relationships around the world.
