The
 following
 are
 the
 results
 of
 the

 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.

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.

 a
 major

more

 it’s
 no

 (slide

 look
 past
 it
 and
 go
 
out

 tougher
 to

 55
