Using lots of emojis is an indication of two things

We love emojis because we react to them as if we were actually talking to a person. As they have become part of our culture, studies have shown that they have a complex effect on people. While they are effective at conveying feelings, using them in dating app bios and work emails does not convey kindness; Most people find them annoying. But it seems that using lots of emojis is an indication of two things. Yes, two studies offer a new perspective and claim that their use is associated with greater success in romantic relationships.

These two studies examined attitudes toward the use of emojis in interpersonal situations and intimate relationships. They were conducted on singles, with the first study finding that 30% of participants regularly used emojis while dating. Subjects said emojis are useful for self-expression and also practical because they convey meaning without having to type out an entire message.

“What tools can daters use in this emotionally and sensory rigorous context to express themselves and potentially improve their connections?” explains the study.

The participants were right; Those who used emojis were more successful on dating apps and were more likely to go on first dates than participants who didn’t use emojis. They were also more likely to have sex.

The second study built on the first and examined the use of emojis among singles. The aim was to find out whether they were successful in building more intimate relationships and getting second dates. Participants said emojis deepened connections made on first dates and opened the door to more sexual behavior.
