Online dating- The rule of 5 (lighthearted)

Based on my own incredibly unscientific experiences I have come up with the rule of 5 of online dating.

For every 5 people you swipe right on on an app, you will match with one. For every 5 matches one will message the other and a conversation will start. For every 5 people you have a conversation with on the app, you will want to go on a first date with one. For every 5 first dates you go one, one will turn into casual/early dating. For every 5 people you casually date, you will end up in a relationship with one.

So by my calculations you have to swipe right 3125 times to meet your partner.

Now...bear in mind that people typically have 3 LT relationships before getting married and that roughly 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce...that's 18750 swipes to not die alone.

You're forgetting blokes tend to die first, so you might as well save your swiping finger.

Shock good point!

Also, anyone who met their DP in freshers week, I don't wanna hear it
