Hanker Dating released an internal five‑year analysis of more than 120,000 member relationships, using the interval before a user returns to the platform as a proxy for relationship length. The study, covering 2021‑2026 and controlled for country, gender and age, found that meat eaters stayed partnered about 40 % longer than vegans or vegetarians. Researchers caution the metric measures repeat usage, not direct satisfaction. Hanker Dating reported a median return of 26.3 months versus 18.7 months for the plant‑based cohort.

Android users exhibited an 18 % advantage over iOS counterparts, with a median return of 24.1 months versus 20.4 months. The gap widened among 28‑38‑year-olds, where Android members waited 27.6 months compared to 21.9 months for iOS. Lower‑income brackets also lingered longer, averaging 27.8 months versus 19.2 months for the highest earners, a 45 % difference. Android users thus appear to enjoy the longest partnerships in the dataset.

Education correlated inversely with relationship duration: members whose highest credential was a high school diploma returned after 28.4 months, undergraduates after 23.1 months, and postgraduates after 19.6 months. The linear trend persisted after adjusting for income, suggesting education independently predicts shorter partnerships. While the proxy is imperfect, the numbers provide a rare quantitative glimpse into how lifestyle and socioeconomic factors intersect with dating outcomes.
