Apparently, women often make the first move when online dating in Worcester
At least compared to the rest of the country. And at least according to a Match.com study.
If you’re a guy trying to online date in Worcester, you might not have to worry about coming up with a clever opening line. The women there tend to make the first move, according to a survey by Match.com.
In honor of Friday’s Sadie Hawkins Day, a holiday on which women are encouraged to initiate a date, Match looked for the top 10 cities in the country where women on the site kick-start the conversations. Match was able to look at every site user in the U.S. through geotagged areas and see which gender was reaching out first most often.
Turns out, the country’s biggest cities aren’t full of these “bold babes’’—as Match referred to them in a press release. Worcester actually ranked third, behind Wichita, Kansas, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Match also recently released their 2015 Singles in America study, which surveyed 5,600 single men and women. Findings from that study showed that 90 percent of male responders said they are comfortable with a woman asking them out, and 86 percent said they’re actively seeking women who are “confident and self-assured.’’ (Oh good: We are living in 2015 after all.)
Some more results from Match’s Sadie Hawkins study: Older, blonde, child-having, ultra-conservatives tend to make the first move. And New York gals are bolder than their L.A. counterparts. It must be an East Coast thing.
