Introduc)on
The
following
are
the
results
of
the
second
annual
State
of
Da6ng
in
America
Report,
which
is
presented
by
leading
online
da6ng
communi6es
Chris6anMingle®.com,
the
largest
and
fastest
growing
online
community
for
Chris6an
singles,
and
JDate®.com,
responsible
for
more
Jewish
marriages
than
all
other
da6ng
sites
combined.
The
data
included
in
the
slides
succeeding
is
collected
from
a
survey
of
more
than
2,600
U.S.
singles
between
the
ages
of
18
and
59.
The
report
covers
topics
of
significance
in
today’s
da6ng
climate
including
habits
and
expecta6ons
from
courtship
to
marriage,
da6ng
e6queOe,
social
and
familial
influence
on
rela6onships,
infidelity
and
more.
The
report
also
highlights
variances
between
age
groups
and
genders.
For
a
second
consecu6ve
year,
Chris6anMingle
and
JDate
partnered
with
licensed
psychotherapist
and
rela6onship
expert
Rachel
Sussman,
LCSW,
to
evaluate
the
State
of
Da6ng
in
America
results
and
put
them
in
the
context
of
larger
na6onal
trends
and
clinical
findings.
3
Key
Findings
Singles
weigh
in
with
a
more
liberal
a9tude
on
what
cons)tutes
chea)ng
in
a
rela)onship:
• Eighty-‐six
percent
of
men
and
92
percent
of
women
consider
having
sex
with
another
person
repeatedly
as
being
unfaithful
in
a
rela6onship.
(slide
62)
• In
2013,
82
percent
of
women
and
56
percent
of
men
believed
tex6ng
or
online
flir6ng
counts
as
being
unfaithful.
In
2014,
the
number
of
women
who
believe
a
flirta6ous
message
is
considered
chea6ng
dropped
significantly
to
68
percent,
while
men
observed
a
slight
decrease
to
51
percent.
(slide
62)
• In
2014,
90
percent
of
women,
vs.
100
percent
in
2013,
agree
passionately
kissing
someone
else
is
chea6ng.
The
number
decreases
for
men
as
well,
with
only
75
percent
agreeing
vs.
86
percent
in
2013.
(slide
62)
• Nearly
a
quarter
of
singles
would
consider
marrying
someone
who
was
unfaithful
to
them
while
da6ng.
(slide
63)
• Twenty-‐eight
percent
of
respondents
admit
to
having
been
unfaithful
in
a
prior
rela6onship,
which
is
a
slight
increase
from
2013,
when
only
22
percent
admiOed
to
infidelity.
(slide
63)
Age,
children
and
gender
roles
all
play
a
major
role
in
da)ng
preferences:
• Two-‐thirds
of
men
would
prefer
to
date
someone
younger
than
them,
though
one-‐third
say
they
are
looking
for
an
older
woman.
On
the
flip
side,
83
percent
of
women
would
rather
date
someone
older
than
them.
(slide
32)
• Women
were
slightly
more
likely
to
consider
marrying
someone
with
children
from
a
past
rela6onship,
with
80
percent
saying
they
definitely
or
probably
would
vs.
69
percent
of
men.
However,
interest
dropped
drama6cally
if
a
poten6al
partner
had
children
from
mul6ple
rela6onships.
(slide
34)
• Thirty-‐nine
percent
of
women
think
the
man
should
be
the
primary
breadwinner,
but
only
23
percent
of
men
agree,
a
decrease
from
last
year’s
32
percent
of
men.
Interes6ngly,
in
2013,
women
didn’t
feel
as
strongly
with
only
34
percent
sta6ng
the
man
should
be
bringing
home
the
bacon.
(slide
46)
4
Key
Findings
Cont.
First-‐date
e)queDe
plays
a
major
role
in
determining
if
singles
want
to
move
on
to
the
second
date:
• The
majority
of
singles
say
1-‐2
drinks
on
a
first
date
is
acceptable,
though
men
tend
to
be
a
liOle
more
lenient,
with
17
percent
saying
it’s
no
problem
if
their
date
has
3-‐5
drinks
(vs.
4
percent
of
women).
(slide
19)
• If
a
prospec6ve
partner
gets
drunk
on
the
first
date,
72
percent
of
men
would
look
past
it
and
go
out
with
her
again,
though
it’s
much
tougher
to
get
a
second
chance
with
women
(only
41
percent
would
go
out
with
a
drunk
date
again).
(slide
21)
• Fiay
percent
of
singles
say
the
biggest
first
date
food
faux
pas
is
being
a
messy
eater,
and
23
percent
of
women
do
not
want
the
man
to
order
for
her.
(slide
16)
• Almost
two-‐thirds
of
all
respondents
feel
the
man
should
pay
for
the
first
date.
Men
tend
to
feel
stronger
about
this,
with
69
percent
saying
the
man
should
pay,
and
only
55
percent
of
women
agreeing.
(slide
45)
• Is
chivalry
dead?
Expecta6ons
for
who
foots
the
bill
have
changed
over
the
past
year,
with
only
69
percent
of
men
saying
the
man
should
pay
(vs.
last
year’s
78
percent).
(slide
45)
• Is
this
a
date?
Sixty-‐nine
percent
of
singles
are
at
least
somewhat
confused
about
whether
their
ou6ng
with
someone
they’re
interested
in
is
in
fact
a
date
or
not.
(slide
10)
5
Key
Findings
Cont.
Findings
reveal
that
da)ng
deal
breakers
can
come
in
all
forms:
• For
men,
the
top
three
da6ng
deal
breakers
are
hygiene
(35
percent),
smoking
(24
percent)
and
weight
(14
percent);
and
for
women,
it’s
hygiene
(34
percent),
unemployment
(21
percent),
and
a
6e
for
third
between
drinking
habits
and
smoking
(16
percent
each).
(slide
22)
• The
majority
of
singles
(66
percent)
would
break
up
with
someone
if
he
or
she
didn’t
get
along
with
their
friends.
(slide
24)
The
s)gma
of
online
da)ng
is
a
thing
of
the
past:
• Eighty-‐five
percent
of
singles
say
online
da6ng
is
socially
acceptable
and
two
out
of
three
singles
know
people
who
have
met
through
online
da6ng.
(slide
26)
• Ninety-‐four
percent
of
respondents
believe
online
da6ng
expands
their
da6ng
pool.
(slide
28)
• Eighty
percent
of
singles
agree
online
da6ng
is
beOer
at
finding
a
match
than
family
members
and
78
percent
agree
online
da6ng
is
beOer
at
finding
a
match
than
friends.

Methodology
The
following
data
summarizes
the
responses
of
a
20-‐minute
online
survey,
which
was
administered
by
an
independent
