>> WELCOME BACK
TO CHEDDAR'S OPENING BELL
DATING IS ALWAYS
STRESSFUL MATTER WHEN YOU DO
IT, BUT THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC HAS PRESENTED A WHOLE
NEW SET OF PROBLEMS FOR SINGLE
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY. SO WHAT
DOES THE DATA SAY ABOUT DATING
IN THE
MODERN AGE. WELL THE DATING
PLATFORM MATCH JUST REALLY IT'S
THE FIRST WAVE
OF IT ANNUAL SINGLES IN AMERICA
STUDY IN HERE TO TELL US MORE
IS DOCTOR HELEN FISHER ARE NOW
IN BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGIST
AND THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISOR FOR
ME DOCTOR FISHER YOU OVERSAW
THIS STUDY SO HOW HAS
CORONAVIRUS CHANGED THE WAYS
SINGLES ARE INTERACTING.
>> WE REALLY ENOUGH, IT'S
ACTUALLY GIVEN THEM A GIFT
WHICH IS REALLY WEIRD BUT IT,
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
YOU KNOW I'VE WATCHED AS STATED
BY THE WAY MATCH DOES NOT PULL
THE MATCH MEMBERS. THIS IS A
NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE
OF SINGLES BASED ON THE U.S.
CENSUS, SO IT'S REAL SCIENCE
SOME THINGS THAT ARE REALLY
WANT. SINGLES TODAY ARE
SPENDING A LOT MORE. TIME
GETTING TO KNOW SOMEBODY BEFORE
THEY
GO OUT. THEY'RE HAVING MORE
MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS WHICH
LEADS TO INTIMACY THAT BEING
MORE HONEST IN THEIR
CONVERSATIONS
A TRANSPARENT. THEY ARE
LEFT FOCUSED ON WHAT YOU LOOK
LIKE AND WHAT THEY HOPE THEY
FEEL ABOUT THEM BOOKS AND I'M
MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN WHETHER
YOU HAVE A GOOD
JOB DONE. YOU'RE FINANCIALLY
STABLE. SO WE SEEN WHAT WE COME
OR INTENTIONAL DATING SLOWER
DATING MORE INTENTIONAL DATING.
>> THIS STUDY ALSO SHOWED AN
INTERESTING LEAVE
THAT SCENE GOALS ARE MORE OPEN
AND UPFRONT ABOUT REALLY
SERIOUS
TOPICS THAT.
>> NORMALLY PEOPLE WOULD AVOID
WHEN THEIR FIRST GETTING TO
KNOW SOMEBODY.
>> THING RIGHT THINGS LIKE FIRE
FINANCES CAN YOU TELL US A BIT
ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH IT WAS A RIVER THIS IS
REMARKABLE ACTUALLY 76% OF
TODAY. DO NOT WANT TO GO OUT
WITH SOMEBODY UNLESS THAT
PERSON SHARE THEIR POLITICAL
VIEWS
WITH MICHAEL ABOUT THAT IS THAT
ONLY 3 YEARS AGO ABOUT
50% PEOPLE NEEDED TO GO OUT
WITH SOMEBODY WHO SHARE THEIR
POLITICAL VIEWS BUT TODAY, 76%
SO IT'S
AN ENORMOUS. INCREASE IN NOT
3 YEARS SO POLITICS IS UP AND
ONLY 48% OF SINGLES BELIEVE
THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY FALL IN
LOVE WITH SOMEBODY WHO
HAS SOME. SHE HAS YOUR
POLITICAL YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
SOMEBODY SHE HAS YOUR POLITICAL
VIEWS AND THAT'S A DECREASE IN
SOME LIKE 63%
SOMETHING COULD FALL IN LOVE
WITH
SOMEBODY WHO A DIFFERENT
POLITICAL VIEWS NOW IT'S ONLY
48% SO BOTTOM LINE
THEY CARE MUCH MORE
ABOUT POLITICS I THINK YOU'RE
SOMEWHAT LESS THEY'RE BECOMING
MORE CENTRIC. WAS INTERESTED IN
OTHER THINGS MAGIC WALL WOMEN'S
RIGHT TO
CHOOSE CENT. CLIMATE CHANGE THE
CENTER WE STILL
SEE DAMAGE ON ONE SIDE AND
REPUBLICANS ON THE OTHER IN
THOSE OTHER ISSUES, NO QUESTION
ABOUT IT SINGLES AND MORE.
RESILIENT ARE MORE WHAT WILLING
TO COMPROMISE ON A LOT OF
OTHER ISSUES AND FAR LESS
INTERESTED IN COMFORT
COMPROMISING ABOUT POLITICS.
YOU KNOW ONE THING THAT
INTERESTS ME IS YOU KNOW SO
RIGHT NOW MOST OF US 3RD OF THE
AMERICAN POPULATIONS AND THEN I
GOT
A 100 10 MILLION AMERICANS A
SINGLE AND 28% OF THESE SINGLES
ACTUALLY HADN'T DECIDED
WHO THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE BY
MID AUGUST IN AND DECIDED
BY NOW NOW, BUT I WAS RATHER
ASTONISHED BY MID AS SO MANY
HAD NOT MADE UP THEIR MIND.
>> THAT IS REALLY INTERESTING I
DO YOU THINK THAT IT WILL SWING
BACK THE OTHER WAY.
IF MAYBE THE POLITICAL CLIMATE
LIKE SIMMERS DOWN A LITTLE DO
YOU THINK THAT THE REASON THAT
THAT POLITICS AND PEOPLE FEEL
SO STRONGLY ABOUT DATING
SOMEONE THAT SHARES THEIR
POLITICAL VIEW. DO YOU THINK
THAT THAT WENT UP JUST BECAUSE
THINGS ARE SO HEIGHTENED
RIGHT NOW OR DO YOU THINK THAT
THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE WAY
IT'S GOING TO GO GOING FORWARD.
>> YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT DATA I
MEAN THE SINGLES IN AMERICA
STUDY THAT I DO
WITH ME WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST
10 YEARS AND SO EVERY YEAR WE
COLLECTED ON SINGLES EVERY AGE
GROUP EVERY BACKGROUND EVERY
ETHNIC GROUP SARAH SUCH WE
STARTED IN 2011. YOU SEE THIS
VERY STEADY ABOUT
REALLY CARE THAT THEY GO I WAS
SOMEBODY WHO IS A POLITICAL
GAINS AND NOW IT'S
76% SO WE WILL GO BACK GO BACK
TO THAT WHEN THINGS BEGIN TO
SETTLE DOWN, YOU KNOW I REALLY
LOVE MY PUT PEOPLE IN BRAIN
SCANNERS AND STUDY OR READ
A QUOTE AND YOU KNOW SINGLES
ARE LOOKING FOR LESS GREATEST
PRIZE WHICH IS A
MATING PARTNER THEY'RE ABLE TO
PUT ASIDE AN AWFUL LOT OF
DIFFERENCES TO FIND SOMEBODY TO
LOVE TO CHERISH TO MARRY AND TO
SEND A DNA ON WITH TO TOMORROW
SO WE WILL GO BACK TO MORE
NORMAL THING BUT ONE THING IS
REALLY CHANGING THAT ARE REALLY
UNHAPPY ABOUT WE'RE SEEING MANY
MORE PEOPLE ARE DOING VIDEO
CHATTING YOU KNOW PRIOR TO THIS
PANDEMIC YOU MET ON THE
INTERNET ALL THESE ALL THESE
DATING SITES ON HER SON TO DO
SEASIDE THEY INTRODUCED ON THE
INTERNET AND THEN THEY WENT OUT
IMMEDIATELY. NOW THIS
INTERMEDIATE STAGE OF
VIDEO CHATTING AND MORE AND
MORE SINGLES ARE DOING WE SAW
THAT ONE OUT OF 5 SINGLES.
I KNOW
VIDEO CHATTING AND THEY USING
IT TO DO SOMEBODY BEFORE THEY
GO OUT IN PERSON THAT'S GREAT
TO ME YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO
SPEND THE TIME AND MONEY AND DO
WITH THIS ACCIDENT IF YOU CAN
DO A LITTLE FITTING BEFORE YOU
EVER MEET, AND IN FACT ONE
THING THAT REALLY ASTONISHED ME
IS 50 1% OF SINGLES DURING
THIS PANDEMIC ON THE INTERNET
ON VIDEO CHATTING
SO IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY SO
THIS BRAIN CIRCUIT KING
SECRETARY CAN BE TRIGGERED
INSTANTLY N AND COVID DIDN'T
KILL CUBAN.
>> DO YOU THINK THAT THAT'S
GOING TO DO YOU THINK WE'RE
GOING TO SEE VIDEO CHATTING
FIRST DATES AND VIRTUAL FIRST
DATES
EVEN POST-COVID.
>> ABSOLUTELY IT'S A MATTER OF
FACT WE ASKED THAT QUESTION AND
58% OF SINGLE SAID YES, THEY
WOULD CONTINUE TO USE VIDEO
CHATTING THEY'RE REALLY GOOD
REASON TO ME YOU KNOW
HOURS THAT WE NOT ONLY HAVE TO
GET TO A STOP AND THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IT'S
YOU KNOW MONEY IS OFF THE TABLE
WITH THE VIDEO CHECK YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT THEY'RE
GOING TO GO TO A FANCY
RESTAURANT OR OR JUST A
COFFEE NOW SENT SEX IS OFF THE
TABLE IT MAKES VERY OFTEN FIRST
DATES OR 3 OR 4 TO BE DOING
JUST WANT TO DO IT FOR HIM HOW
ARE YOU
KNOW THIS OFF THE TABLE AND
INSECT WHAT
WE'RE FINDING THIS VIDEO
CHATTING AS MUCH WHEN MEAT FOR
CONVERSATIONS MUCH WAS
SELF-DISCLOSURE AND ALL OF THE
ACADEMIC DID A SHOW THE MORE
SELF-DISCLOSURE YOU HAVE AND BY
THE WAY MEN ARE JUST AS WILLING
TO SELF
DISCLOSES WOMEN. IT LEADS TO
MORE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS
AND MORE INTIMACY SO ODDLY
ENOUGH WE'RE SEEING A SLOWING
NOW OF THIS PRE
COMMITMENT STAGE AND ALL THE
DATA SHOW THAT THE LONGER YOU
COURTS AND THE LADY YOU WITH
THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO
STAY TOGETHER. WE'RE EARLY
ENOUGH THIS COVID THINK HARD
WAS IT IS HAS SLOWED DOWN THE
COURTSHIP PROCESS MADE IT MORE
MEANINGFUL MORE INTENTIONAL
AND WE MAYBE MAYBE LEADING US
WAS STABLE PARTNERSHIPS IN
THE FUTURE.
>> I WOULD I WOULD LOVE TO END
IT THERE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A
POSITIVE NOTE, BUT I DO HAVE
ONE MORE QUESTION
FOR YOU. I'M AND I DON'T KNOW
IF YOUR STUDY ASK THIS BUT ARE
SINGLE PEOPLE. LONELY AIR RIGHT
NOW THAN THEY'VE BEEN BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC DID YOU ASK
ANYTHING JUST ABOUT KIND OF
THEIR MENTAL STATE RIGHT NOW.
>> YES, WE DID AND IT CERTAINLY
PEOPLE AND THEY'RE THEY'RE
LONELY ABSOLUTELY THEY'RE
TRAPPED IN. YOU I APOLOGIZE TO
YOU KNOW MUSIC IS WHAT THEY'VE
BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER IN
GROUPS. IT WASN'T 24 7 PEOPLE
DID NOT. YOU KNOW STAY IN THE
LITTLE 24 7 AND MEAN WITH ONE
PARTNER ABSOLUTELY THAT'S VERY
UNNATURAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
WE'RE IN SO I'M NOT SURPRISED,
I MEAN WE ASKED YOU KNOW
YOU KNOW YOU KNOW 71% OF
SINGLES JUST DIDN'T HAVE DURING
THE PANDEMIC SEX IS GOOD FOR
YOU WITH THE
RIGHT PERSON.
>> AND I THINK IT'S STRANGE
THAT 24% OF
SINGLES HAD THAT SEX WITH A
NON ROMANTIC. REALLY WAS NOT A
REMAIN DOESN'T SURPRISE ME IS
CALLED SITUATIONAL SENSE FROM
PEOPLE CAN
EXPECT TO OWN NATIONAL PATTERNS
OF SEX THEY WILL THEY WILL GO
LEATHERWOOD YOU KNOW EVEN COME
TO CANADA OUR OUR NATURAL
