CHENNAI: About 72% of

Gleeden

users are most likely meet their online

flings

after the

lockdown

restrictions are lifted, according to a survey conducted by the extramarital

dating app

.

Gleeden has noticed a significant trend in their consumer behaviour as the traffic on their platform has started to commence in its usual pattern; i.e., pre-corona times. The most connections were noticed on a Monday morning and the graph goes down as Friday nears. During the lockdown period, the app had a flat curve where there was not much difference among the weekdays.

“The fear about the virus is still very strong and we can see that there is much caution about dating in person. Most of our users are still checking the ‘virtual relationship’ box. However, people are also eager to resume their lives, to go back to the one before the virus,’’ said Solene Paillet, marketing director of Gleeden, in a press release.

“We also ran surveys across the community to investigate future behaviours and the majority of respondents would like to physically meet the people they met on Gleeden. We cannot determine how many will follow through, but it’s interesting to see that there is a global wave of positivity towards the future and towards dating,” she added.

Though a majority of people on Gleeden still prefer “virtual relationships” as their primary option, the platform has off late witnessed an urge of physical dating among its users.

According to a survey that they conducted among the community last week, 72% of their members are most likely to meet their online fling in the near future while 15% are dicey about it. 10% of the users would like to keep it restricted to online encounters only while the remaining 3% are finding it hard to decide.
