Survey says 65% mid-age Indians seek friendship on online dating apps despite having partners

According to a survey by a leading dating app of India, Gleeden, online dating has increased among Indians going through midlife crisis.

The survey was done on 1,500 people from 12 Tier 1 and Tier 2 Indian cities, including Kolkata and Patna in the East, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Indore in the West, Delhi, Ludhiana, and Jaipur in the North, Bengaluru, Kochi, and Hyderabad in the South, and Guwahati from the North East region, to look at online dating trend among middle aged committed people or people with partners.

The number of people over 35 using dating apps in India climbed by 65% from Tier 2 cities, as per the IPSOS poll, indicating a rise in middle-aged people's interest in online dating.

34% of respondents between said 35 to 50 age range reported feeling lonely despite having a partner. Surprisingly, the bustle of the big cities leaves some people alone despite the thousands of people around them (34% from Bangalore, 39% from Mumbai, 32% from Delhi, and 32% from Kolkata). Online dating can result in satisfying friendships even though it's frequently associated with finding love partners. It can be incredibly fulfilling to have deep friendships with others who can relate to the joys and struggles of midlife.

Ironically, 39% of people from Tier 2 cities (Patna, Guwahati, and Indore) have looked for love outside of marriage. 40% of respondents in the 35–50 age range expressed a desire to learn more.

Accepting the allure of online dating at the age of 40 can be a life-changing event, particularly in the Indian setting. Digital dating platforms provide a place to make new contacts, foster friendships, and consider meaningful partnerships as people negotiate the challenges of midlife.

These platforms offer a special chance to rebel against traditional standards and experience the delight of companionship in the digital era due to changing trends in Indian relationships and middle-aged people's growing acceptance of online dating. Therefore, to all you 40-year-old, flirtatious, and gorgeous people out there, think about stepping into the realm of online dating and opening the doors to personal development, friendships, and possibly even a lifetime relationship.
