Niche dating
QuackQuack's survey indicated a rise in the trend of niche dating. 44% of daters, male and female, remarked it is more effective to find tailored matches based on their specific interests, lifestyles, or communities. The traditional way of online dating, the "trial and error method," as the GenZ daters called it, takes more time and effort; the chances of error can take an emotional toll, too. Niche dating focuses on compatibility beyond the surface level. For instance, an avid reader would scope through profiles and find one that mentions reading or anything that indicates a potential match's love for reading, and based on this shared interest, connect. These individuals mentioned that a dog-lover would not have to date a cat-lover and fight about what's better, or a movie buff does not have to explain how it is the best form of media to their match; people can shift their focus from explanations to what's more important, building a connection.
