Dating apps not the best place to find love, according to a new study

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Looking for love? A new survey suggests online dating sites and apps aren't the best places to find everlasting love.

According to the Pew Research Center, just 12% of survey respondents married or had a committed relationship with someone they met on a site or app.

Women seem to have a tougher time. Nearly 40% say they have found it very or somewhat difficult to find people they were physically attracted to, compared to about 20% of men.

Pew's research was conducted from October 16 to 28, 2019 surveying 4,860 respondents. The full report is here.
