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.
