Twitter users have shorter relationships

Time Newsfeed reports that a study by OkTrends shows the more frequently you use Twitter, the shorter your relationships tend to be.

Among OkCupid‘s findings are two conclusions about Twitter users

  • people who use Twitter every day tend to have shorter relationships, and
  • the problem gets worse as a person gets older.

The average relationship for an 18-year-old who uses Twitter is about nine months, while “everybody else” usually has a relationship average of nine-and-a-half months.

At age 50, the frequent tweeter has a 15 month-long relationship, while the non-frequent Twitter user stays in a relationship for an average of almost 17 months.

The survey involved 833,987 OkCupid users.
