A new survey from dating app Hily reveals that over 50% of young Americans have gone on dates with individuals who appeared different from their profile pictures. This discrepancy has prompted 54% of Gen Z and 62% of millennials to end dates early or reject follow-up meetings. Factors influencing poor photo updates range from fear of judgment to uncertainty about profile content. While a majority have updated their profiles recently, perceptions of their own attractiveness may still differ from reality, contributing to a mixed sentiment regarding online dating.
More than 50% of young Americans have gone on a date with someone who looked different from their profile photos, according to a new survey from dating app Hily.
