The survey also found several other data points from relationships. For example, it found that 35% of singles said a long-distance relationship was a dealbreaker, 45% of singles said an incompatible zodiac sign spelled potential doom for a match, and 55% of respondents said someone showing up late to a date was a dealbreaker.
Only 10% would leave after waiting 5 minutes, 25% would leave after 15 minutes, and 75% after 30 minutes.
The survey also showed data from past years. For example, in 2020, 72% of singles found opposite political views to be a dealbreaker. The primary deal breakers of 2020 included terrible pick-up lines, living with your parents, smoking, and racism.
In 2019, 80% of those surveyed said not having a profile picture or a bio was a nonstarter with dealbreakers, including long-distance, unresponsiveness to texts, poor hygiene, and sexism.
“From restaurants to movies – and even sporting events – traditional dating activities are limited based on vaccination status, and our members see it as a clear dealbreaker,” Maria Sullivan, Vice President of Dating.com, said in a press release. “A dating dealbreaker varies from person to person and shifts over time. The key to a happy and healthy relationship is finding a partner that complements your interests, lifestyle, and beliefs.”
