Survey reveals Bengaluru's youth feel a lack of deep connections despite being constantly online

A survey conducted by Match Group and Ipsos found that 35% of the 1,000 singles (aged 18 to 45) surveyed in metro and first-tier cities feel a constant sense of being 'lonely'. Despite having opportunities to build relationships, 64% of the youth stated that studies and work are given more priority than their social lives. Furthermore, 72% of the youth feel that a few 'deep and close' relationships are needed rather than hundreds of friends.
