After nearly two years of pandemic living, singles are returning to dating with more open-mindedness than ever. Daters around the world are expressing an increased desire to meet a diverse set of people, and explore new things when it comes to love and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>. Trust us, we have the data to back it up: Our OkCupid algorithm is powered by thousands of questions so it can match people on what really matters\u200a\u2014\u200aand singles\u2019 responses to those questions help us predict the future of dating. Here are the 10 dating trends you can expect to see in 2022: the year of exploration in\u00a0dating.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Daters Will Explore Their Sexuality More Than\u00a0Ever<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The pandemic has led daters to not only be more open about who they are, but also more interested in exploring their sexuality. Since the end of last year, we\u2019ve seen a nearly 10% increase in users identifying as pansexual. There\u2019s also been a 250% increase in users identifying as <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">bisexual<\/a> compared to last year, and a 29% increase in users identifying as non-binary. We\u2019ll see this continue into 2022 and daters can only benefit; the more open singles are, the more matches for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Kink Will Be Even More of a\u00a0Thing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each year we see the taboo around kink and BDSM lessening, and the pandemic accelerated that. Daters are not only more open to it, but more vocal in their openness as well. In 2021, there\u2019s been a 55% increase in users saying they\u2019re kinky, and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> are leading the charge: \u201cBDSM\u201d mentions in <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">female<\/a> users\u2019 profiles have increased 17%.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*MlBYKAHPCU5oEUxYkFCWsg.jpeg\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>3. Money Will Matter\u00a0Less<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The likelihood of a single saying wealth is very important in a match nearly doubled during the pandemic. After all, jobs were lost and many daters\u2019 financial security was at risk. However, if we continue to see employment and vaccination rates increase in 2022 as they are today, we will also see this number decrease and fewer singles will say money is very important when it comes to who they date. We\u2019ve already seen this drop begin to happen, with only 14% of users saying money is very important in a match today compared to around 16% earlier in the\u00a0year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. There Will Be More Open Relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monogamy certainly isn\u2019t out, but non-monogamy is definitely in. While the majority of OkCupid daters seek monogamous relationships, in 2021 users seeking non-monogamous relationships increased 7%, and mentions of \u201cnon-monogamy\u201d and \u201cthrouple\u201d in user profiles have gone up 21%. Next year, more and more daters will be looking for non-monogamous relationships as they become open to multiple relationships at a\u00a0time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Politics Will Be the Biggest Dealbreaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been a nearly 10% increase in political terms in user profiles in 2021 despite it not even being an election year. With the midterms heating up in 2022, there\u2019s no question that being aligned politically will be the biggest dating dealbreaker this year. In fact, users on OkCupid are 5x less likely to mark a matching question about politics as \u201cirrelevant\u201d on how important it is to them compared to questions not having to do with politics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Safe Sex Will Be Hotter Than\u00a0Ever<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the pandemic taught us anything, it was to be vigilant about our health\u200a\u2014\u200aand that includes sexual health, too. Since the pandemic, there\u2019s been a 16% decrease in singles who say they never or rarely discuss STD status before fooling around. Daters today are being straightforward not just about their feelings, but also about their sexual health\u200a\u2014\u200aresulting in healthier, more honest relationships. Over the past five years there\u2019s also been a nearly 10% increase in singles who say they get tested before and after each new\u00a0partner.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*TEtJcMsNANbjccbTLAR67Q.jpeg\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>7. Divorced Singles Will Be Getting Back Out\u00a0There<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since 2017, there\u2019s been a nearly 300% increase in user profiles mentioning being recently divorced and this increase isn\u2019t going anywhere. As with all singles, more divorced singles turned to the apps during the pandemic to find love and in 2022, there will be even more\u200a\u2014\u200adivorced during the pandemic\u200a\u2014\u200areturning to the dating scene. \u201cFor singles who have to rebuild their social circle after divorce, dating apps provide an excellent way to re-enter the dating scene,\u201d says Damona Hoffman, OkCupid dating expert and host of The Dates &amp; Mates\u00a0Podcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Sober Dating Will Become Increasingly Popular<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the past five years, daters have become 2x less likely to say that a date being sober was a dealbreaker, and in just the past month there has been a nearly 10% increase in terms such as \u201csobriety\u201d and \u201csober dating\u201d in OkCupid profiles. Therefore, we expect daters looking for sober dates will increase at least 5x in 2022. Even those who aren\u2019t sober are enjoying this trend, going on sober first and second dates to really get to know the other person without any outside influence.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*ur5jtcdcXurr143Q0ppGlQ.jpeg\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>9. More Singles Will Be Looking for a Match to Start a Family\u00a0With<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of 2021, we saw an over 125% increase in users saying they wanted children and 2022 should be no different. The pandemic forced people to consider what was really important to them, and family turned out to be one of those things. But this won\u2019t be the nuclear family of the past; many who are looking to have children are not necessarily looking to get married, or even be monogamous in some cases\u200a\u2014\u200abut rather want to find a committed partner to have children\u00a0with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. And Finally, 2022 Will Kick Off With a Huge Boost for\u00a0Dating!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first Sunday of the new year is always a great day to meet someone on a dating app. Historically, we\u2019ve seen up to a 70% increase in user activity on this day. But because 2022\u2019s first Sunday lands early on January 2,<strong> <\/strong>there will be <em>two<\/em> Dating Sundays for the first time in over a decade.<strong> <\/strong>January 2, the first Dating Sunday of 2022, will be as busy as usual, but we expect an unprecedented surge of likes, matches, and conversations on the second Sunday as well, as some singles will get a slightly later start on their New Year\u2019s resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/okcupid.onelink.me\/godV\/44c7b6b0\"><em>Download OkCupid<\/em><\/a><em> to get a kickstart on Dating Sunday\u00a0today!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/_\/stat?event=post.clientViewed&amp;referrerSource=full_rss&amp;postId=696d6385372a\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theblog.okcupid.com\/2022-will-be-the-year-of-exploration-in-dating-696d6385372a\">2022 will be the year of exploration in dating<\/a> was originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/theblog.okcupid.com\/\">OkCupid Dating 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%2F2022-will-be-the-year-of-exploration-in-dating-696d6385372a\" class=\"autohyperlink\">medium.com\/m\/global-identity?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheblog.okcupid.com%2F2022-will-be-the-year-of-exploration-in-dating-696d6385372a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2022 will be the year of exploration in dating OkCupid data reveals dating trends we can expect in the new\u00a0year 2022 will be the year of exploration in dating.
