In the quest to find the perfect match, age factor plays a key role, says seven out of 10 people participating in a comprehensive consumer study arranged by one of India`s online dating apps, QuackQuack. 13,000 men and women belonging to key tiers participated in the online research; most are working professionals and business owners. A group of the respondents are students. The highest number of individuals hailed from metros like Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad and smaller cities like Nagpur, Jaipur, Bhopal, and Indore. The participants ranged between 22 and 50 years of age.
QuackQuack`s founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented, "While we see a lot of couples matching despite the unusual differences in their age, a lot more users skip potential perfect matches because of the same reason. The age-related stereotypes are changing, and thankfully so, but we still have a long way to go."
