The One Dating Research
Studying how people connect, so we can help them do it.
Our research team looks at what makes dating work, and what gets in the way.
Focus areas
What we study
Profiles
Personality first
How profiles that lead with personality, like Main Character Vibes, change who people reach out to and how conversations start.
Matching
Fair recommendations
How we choose who you see, and how to keep that useful for you without anyone getting buried.
Conversations
From match to message
What turns a match into a real conversation, and what makes people go quiet.
Safety
Feeling safe to show up
Which tools actually make people feel safer, from verification to reporting, and where we fall short.
How we work
Privacy comes before insight.
We study patterns across many people, never individuals. Findings are counted in ways that cannot identify anyone, and nothing personal leaves the app to make a chart.
Reports
Our first reports are on the way.
New findings will be published here and in the Newsroom as they are ready.
