WAYS YOUR STREAMING HABITS AFFECT YOUR LOVE LIFE

Now that it’s cuffing season and we’re spending more time cuddled up on the couch, we’re also watching more TV. Some people prefer the comfort of rewatching a favorite series, others are more into Sunday Night Football, or snuggling with someone special for a rom-com. And new research reveals that our streaming habits can also affect our love lives.

A new survey commissioned by Roku looks at how the way we stream and what we stream influences what we look for in a partner and our romantic relationships. The poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults finds “a series of rom-com-worthy icks, red flags and must-haves.”

  • We all know how awkward first dates can be and finding common ground in a show can help break the ice, with 52% of respondents saying they’d bring up their current show during an awkward pause in conversation.
  • More than a quarter (29%) of singles have a two-streaming service standard, so they won’t date anyone who doesn’t subscribe to at least two services.
  • One in four of those in a relationship admit they’ve faked it - as in pretending to like a show their partner likes just to make them happy.
  • Those who are all boo’d up also don’t like “stream-cheaters” - those who watch an episode of the show they’re watching as a couple without their S.O. - as 21% confess they’ve gotten mad at their partner for “cheating” and watching an episode of their show alone.
  • Spoiler alert - no one enjoys someone else spoiling a show they’ve been watching. People would rather give up sweets for a week (26%), give up coffee for a month (19%), stub their toe (18%), do their taxes (16%) or go a week without their phone (10%) than have someone reveal a spoiler to their show.

Scott's Thoughts:

  • Spoilers are bad, but going a month without coffee? That’s unimaginable torture!
  • My fiancĂ© pretends to like Yellowstone for me. I try with some of her shows but if it is on Bravo I don't dig it.
  • My thing is I am paying too much money for streaming.
