Dating App Users Seek Agreeable, Emotionally Stable, and Introverted Partners

People on dating apps tend to prefer potential partners who have similar levels of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion. Participants in a study evaluated 100 different online dating profiles and showed a preference for profiles that were perceived as more agreeable, emotionally stable, and introverted. However, there were no significant effects for perceived conscientiousness or openness, suggesting that these traits did not strongly influence the number of matches a profile received. The study supports the idea that people display assortative preferences in the context of online dating, particularly for the personality traits agreeableness and openness.

The Key Personality Trait for Lifelong Happiness.

Emotional stability is the personality trait most strongly linked to happiness across the lifespan, while conscientiousness is the best trait for work satisfaction and extraversion and agreeableness are most strongly linked to social satisfaction, according to a study of over 9,000 Dutch adults. The study found that personality traits remain relevant for satisfaction with life, work, and social contacts across young, middle, and older adulthood, and that personality and environment interact to influence satisfaction. Despite common beliefs, personality is capable of change, which can increase life, social, or work satisfaction.
