Study: Couples Who Meet on Apps Are Less Happy

Couples who meet on dating apps tend to be unhappier in their marriages – that’s the upshot of a study from Arizona State University.

Of the 923 couples in the study, 49.3% of participants met online, and the rest met offline, through work, in college, or in a bar or club.

While the reason remains unclear, scientists speculate that the decrease of satisfaction might be due in part to the stigma of meeting online.

Couples who meet online are also more likely to suffer higher degrees of marginalization. For example, they may be a member of the LGBTQ+ community, or may be dating interracially.

This marginalization could also have an impact on their relationship happiness.
