Do you love playing or watching sports? You might find it easier to connect with potential partners and start new relationships sooner than you think!
A recent study by Bumble, in collaboration with Milieu Insight Pte Ltd., found that many Filipino singles seek romantic partners who enjoy sports.
Conducted from June 6 to 18, 2024, the survey included 929 single Filipinos aged 18 to 43, comprising both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ individuals.
The results show that 43% of Filipino singles consider an interest in sports important when exploring potential relationships. Among male respondents, 49% prioritize finding a partner who likes sports, compared to 38% of women.
For some, it’s a deal-breaker: 30% of men and 21% of women would reconsider a relationship if their partner doesn’t enjoy watching sports.
Additionally, 61% of millennials and 58% of Gen Z respondents look for shared sports interests, with 60% from both groups seeing sports events as great date ideas.
With these findings in mind, Filipino singles may find that engaging in sports or sharing a passion for athletic activities could give them an edge in the dating world. Embracing a love for sports might not only enrich one’s personal life but also enhance their chances of finding a compatible partner.
