A new study suggests that couples who meet online may experience lower relationship satisfaction compared to those who meet offline. While online dating has become increasingly prevalent, researchers found a correlation between online introductions and potentially less fulfilling partnerships. The study highlights that factors such as algorithmic matching, superficial profiles, and the sheer volume of options available online may contribute to this phenomenon. Meeting through mutual friends, shared activities, or organic encounters may foster deeper connections and ultimately lead to greater long-term relationship success.
