Crypto investors are “more attractive and smarter” than non-investors, study finds
People who invest in cryptocurrencies are seen as “more attractive, smarter and wealthier than non-investors,” according to a recent survey that aims to assess whether investing in crypto makes a person more attractive.
Interestingly, more than three-quarters of survey respondents ‘Does investing in cryptocurrency make you more attractive?‘ said they are likely to go on a date with someone if their dating app profile mentions cryptocurrency, according to the study by CryptoVantage.
Furthermore, the results of the study, in which 1,002 Americans participated, found that 50% of female respondents believe crypto investors are more attractive than non-investors. Meanwhile, 40% of male respondents believe crypto investors are more intelligent than non-investors.
About 46% of respondents believe crypto investors are more attractive, while 42% believe they are smarter. 34% believe that crypto investors are more wealthy than non-investors.
Crypto ended more than 2 out of 3 relationships
However, 69% of crypto investors surveyed stated that the decision to invest in a cryptocurrency was the reason for the end of a relationship.
According to the findings of the study:
“More than three-quarters of respondents would swipe right on someone who mentions being a crypto investor on the dating app, and 55% said they are more likely to date or meet someone who invests in crypto.”
When asked if crypto was used to make payments while on a date, 37% of respondents claimed they used cryptocurrencies to make payments. About a third of respondents claimed their spouse paid in cryptocurrency, while only 13% said they both paid in crypto.
“Our survey results also indicate that crypto investors may get more hits on dating apps than others: About 76% of people said they are more likely to swipe right if someone’s dating profile mentions that they are a crypto investor. People who identified as LGBTQ had ten times more likely to swipe right on these challengers, while straight people were six times more likely to do the same.”
However, not every profile of a crypto investor raises eyebrows for the right reasons: just under 60% of respondents said they had fallen victim to a cryptocurrency scammer on a dating app. This is not surprising, given Finbold’s report on romance scams costing Americans nearly $350 million in 2021.
Finally, another study from April this year analyzing the relationship between the so-called “dark personalities” and attitudes towards cryptocurrencies and investing in them found that narcissists, sadists and manipulators are attracted to crypto.
