Turn Ons and Offs- 12,000 QuackQuack users share what really matters the most to online daters

oday's daters scroll through dozens of profiles, but at the end of the day, only a few catch their eyes; India's fastest-growing dating app, QuackQuack, surveyed 12,000 users between 18 and 35 from urban, suburban, and rural India to find out what really moves the needle for these online daters. The app's Founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented, "Online dating has become more than just finding the right match; we often see people finding themselves while using these apps. For instance, young daters join the app thinking they'll find the most good-looking guy or girl and match with them. But once they go deep into the partner-seeking process, they often realize that what truly sails their boat is not physical appearances but the other little things they never would've otherwise noticed."

QuackQuack’s week-long survey was taken by students, job seekers, and professionals in the IT, healthcare, education, sales and marketing, finance, and government sectors. For more than 35% of the respondents, the right amount of quirky was at the top of the list of turn-ons.

Quirkiness, but the right amount
A profile with a personality of its own is a solid turn-on. It is most likely to get a like and match request because of its quirky charm- revealed 37% of QuackQuack users from Tier 1 and 2 cities. A well-crafted bio, with the right balance of humor and sincerity, can be a game-changer, according to these respondents. 27-year-old Amitha, a software engineer, said, “A profile with a list of hobbies and passions never does it for me. I always prefer one that reflects the spirit of the user; I came across one that said I teach Math in school, and apparently also taught my ex a life lesson. It was insanely witty, genuine, and I hit the request button faster than the speed of light.”

Mirror selfies? Not a fan.
28% of women aged between 25 and 35 swore they never connect with men who have mirror selfies and the new “covering-the-face-with-your-hand” pictures as their Display Images. They complained it felt impersonal and a tad too tired. Kalyani (31) said, “I would like to see the face of my potential match, not his mirror, bathroom, or the back of his hand. A picture of them enjoying their favorite activity or, at the very least, showing off their face clearly would be much more appreciated than a selfie.”

Good Grammar is attractive.
More than 30% of QuackQuack users from metros and suburbs revealed rejecting profiles with grammatical errors in them. They denied being grammar-nazis but rather found the lack of effort unappealing in a match. 4 in 5 users between 18 and 28 are more inclined to match with people who display a good command of language. Indra (26), from Mumbai, commented, “Good grammar shows attention to detail, effort and respect for the first impression. I can’t be sloppy and expect a great response from people. They might as well think it’s a fake profile. One more thing I have noticed and disliked- adding unnecessary exclamation marks. What are you so excited about?”

Goals- realistic ones in particular
As per the result of the poll, 24% of men from Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities are big on goal-oriented women. They are drawn to profiles that mention aspirations, of course, realistic ones. They mentioned relatable goals are a great talking point and make room for deeper connections. Kunal from Bangalore noted, “When I see a woman talk about starting a new venture, or maybe note down her wish to travel to certain places by a certain year, I instantly want to connect with her. I know that here is a person who knows what she wants, and that’s a great quality. But if it’s anything regarding manifesting this or that with positive thoughts, it’s not my cup of tea.”
