According to a new survey run by an Indian dating app, more women prefer online dating over its traditional counterpart. 

In the survey conducted by QuackQuack, 67 percent of women prefer online dating over its traditional counterpart owing to the tight security and safety measures on these platforms. The app's founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented, "Safety has always been one of the prime concerns when we think of dating, regardless of its mode. As a dating app catering to 20 million users, we evolve and upgrade our security measures with time and the rise of new trends in the virtual world of dating. For instance, the app's moderators use parameters such as user information, IP City, IP Country, OS Information, and more to track and suspend fake profiles."

To better their user safety practices, the app ran a survey among 15,000 participants from tier-1 and tier-2 cities, asking them their concerns about the safety issues on dating apps and how they deal with the same. 41 percent of these participants mentioned that one of the best ways to tackle any concerns about a new match is to go through a virtual first date before meeting in person. It gives both users enough time to gauge each other's behaviour and keep an eye out for any unusual demeanour, such as aggression, an overly intrusive nature, and other evident red flags.
