Finding a soulmate is as easy as shopping for clothes online. Technology has made every aspect of your life easy and looking for a life partner is no different either. What started as personal ads in the 90s, gained rapid resurgence after the introduction of dating websites and apps.
Undoubtedly, the online dating industry is a massive billion dollar industry with the annual revenue reaching over $1.9 billion dollars. The figures are only increasing rapidly. One of the main features of this industry being that 30% of its users are between the age of 18 and 29 years old.
