In a recent consumer study by the Indian online dating app QuackQuack with 11,000 participants from Tier 1, 2, and 3 Indian cities, dating individuals from different age groups and backgrounds share valuable insight and personal experiences on spotting a red flag while dating online. From subtle to the glaring, these red flags will help young and new joiners spot an imperfect match from miles away.
The study was conducted online for a week among participants aged from 20 to 40; a majority of these individuals were working professionals and business owners, and a portion of them were students.
QuackQuack`s Founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented on the study, "We are now close to 30 million users and felt it essential to educate people on reading signs that might indicate a toxic trait in a person early on and keep them from making the same mistakes as their predecessors. It is not about mistrust; it`s about making sure your partnership thrives. Addressing a problem in the initial stages is the key to a successful relationship."
