With generally a few seconds to make a decision on dating sites, the slightest element indicated on his profile can influence a potential match. It can be your attitude towards ecology, or even the fact of not wanting children. But your lifestyle habits can also deter some users: a study by the online dating app Due to over 460,000 users, revealed that smokers receive 52.7% fewer matches than non-smokers. The latter have the possibility of using tags on their profiles such as: #smoker #occasional smoker and #non-smoker.
Users’ likes and matches were analyzed taking into account their gender and age to identify correlations between smoking habits and success on the app. Note that the figures obtained depend on the indications provided by the users, so it is likely that some smokers did not specify this habit.
There is also a big difference between men and women: those who say they are non-smokers 63.6% more matches than those who smoke. This disadvantage seems less to affect men’s chances with 48.4% fewer matches for smokers, a small but still significant difference. It should also be noted that users aged 18 to 24 have the most smokers and thus obtain fewer matches than their elders (25-34).
