Hey people close to 30, remember when dating was, like, human?
A random encounter between strangers? Chemistry? Connection? I recall a time when the only structured way you could meet someone was at a speed dating event at the local pub.
Well, as we’re all painfully aware, modern dating is all about data. Cold, hard, facts.
Are you Facebook friends?
Are you a similar age?
Are you living in the same are?
And now, apparently, there’s a new criteria: do you both hate instant coffee?
Yep, Aussie dating app Two Peas has released their findings on what millennials look for in a partner, and to be honest, it makes us sound like a bunch of snobs.
For example, 49 per cent of those surveyed would never drink instant coffee and therefore wouldn’t date anyone else that did, while 25 per cent think they’re “better than most people”.
Wow.
It wasn’t all bad news, however: if a stranger dropped a $50 note, 94 per cent of us would give it back. And 23 per centof Aussies users would get a tattoo for their partner.
That’s… nice.
