Women indexed higher in two areas, with 50% ghosting to avoid confrontation and one slightly more genuine reason of there being no real chemistry match, which caused 1 in 10 women to ghost their match. For men, one popular reason for ghosting was due to them feeling their dating partners profile pictures was a misinterpretation of their looks in real life. The third most popular justification for men ghosting is connected to their feelings around the person they\u2019re dating is too needy\/clingy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Key Findings&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:22px|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613896134547{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"standard-arrow bullet-top\"><ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">50% of women<\/span> that have ghosted someone, did it to avoid confrontation, compared with <span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">38% of men<\/span> surveyed<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Over <span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">1 in 4 men<\/span> have ghosted people for not living up to their profile photos, compared with <span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">1 in 6 women<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">1 in 6 men<\/span> are likely to ghost clingy or needy matches, compared with <span style=\"color: #1d998f;\">1 in 10 women <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3026&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; image_hovers=&#8221;false&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;vc_default&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;image&#8221; parallax_style=&#8221;vcpb-default&#8221; bg_image_new=&#8221;id^2583|url^https:\/\/www.bankmycell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/social-media-background.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^social-media-background|description^null&#8221; bg_image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; bg_img_attach=&#8221;fixed&#8221; bg_override=&#8221;ex-full&#8221; el_id=&#8221;chapter-3&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1536064830635{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;DECEPTIVE MILLENNIAL DATING&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613896148066{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; el_width=&#8221;80&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;EXPLORING THE MOST COMMON DATING APP LIES&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613896158384{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1536153172167{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]In this current dating environment, people can hide behind their phones making it very easy to dismissively ghost, block someone and move onto the next match.
