With both Millennials and Gen-Z currently exploring the dating scene across India, they are know what they are looking for but turns out Gen Z is the master of decoding body language, whether in real life or online. 

Indian dating app QuackQuack recently surveyed 7,500 daters between 18 and 26 years, where a whopping 43 per cent said `Virtual Body Language` is a thing in dating now; the modern daters are reading between the lines (in their chats). 5 in 7 Indian daters revealed that it isn`t about sitting cross-legged or maintaining eye contact anymore. The real deal is the speed of reply, choice of emojis, uppercase vs lowercase texts, proper use of punctuation, how long you`ve been left on read, and more.

The study drew participants from both metros and suburbs, representing a diverse mix of people from various professional backgrounds, including IT, healthcare, finance, marketing, content creation, fashion, and more. It also included students, entrepreneurs, and those currently between jobs.

Ravi Mittal, founder and CEO of the app, says, "The key takeaway of this survey is that in online dating, it is not just about what you say; it`s also about how you say it. Also, it reaffirmed one thing about Gen-Zs: they are highly emotionally intelligent. Even something as small as a pause in typing does not escape their notice."
