Dating is a challenge in 2019 - and it shows. In fact, romance as a whole has taken a backseat in the new millennium, with North America's millennials marrying far later than their parents did - often after growing up living with the highest divorce rates on record. This is where online dating sites come in.

In short, romance kind of sucks these days. But that doesn't mean we're giving up. After all...there really isn't an alternative, is there? Thankfully, we have new technology that takes a lot of the stress out of dating - at least, that's the theory.

Dating sites (OkCupid, EHarmony, Match.com, and POF) and matching services (Tinder, Bumble and JSwipe) have been around for a very long time (arranged marriages, anyone?), but the game really changed in 2012 when swiping dating apps hit the market. Using location-based matching technology, the app was netting over one billion "swipes" per day in 2014. And millennials loved it - making up almost half the total users in 2015. Since then, the app has spawned an untold number of imitators.

With so much activity, it's hard not to notice some stereotypes with its users. The truth is that most people aren't very creative when posing for their profile photos, and a lot of online dating profiles are pretty replaceable.

So, if you count yourself among the millions of swipers, you've definitely noticed a few trends - skydiving pics, close-ups of a family pet, or maybe even a height requirement line in the bio. Most try to have a sense of humor and fail.

The data we collected painted a pretty clear picture of what you can expect to see if you jump into the swiping game - and where they come from. Let's take a look.

Female Stereotypes - Part 1

Our first set of data examines female swipe dating app users in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, and Chicago. As you may have expected, some stereotypes were impossible to avoid. Half of the users in Austin had "kissy face" photos, with 70 percent of ladies in Austin having swimsuit photos. In our opinion, these do not make a good profile.

Interestingly, roughly a third of all users have bathroom pictures in the online dating profile examples- which may seem odd until you consider that there are over one million hashtagged bathroom selfies on Instagram.

Female Stereotypes - Part 2

Our second set of data looks at female swipe dating app users in Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia. Of course, pictures of users at the beach are far more common in places like Miami and LA. Americans just seem to like the beach for a first date in general - 58 million of them made a visit at some point in 2010 alone.

While there's no beach close for them to enjoy, women in Denver seem to be hitting the pool a lot for their selfies - with as many as 68 percent of them having swimsuit photos in their profiles. That is unless they're just hanging out at home in bikinis...which isn't impossible.

Male Stereotypes - Part 1

So, gentlemen, how manly is your profile?

Our next set of data turns to the other sex in Atlanta, Austin, Boston and Chicago. As before, these are blatantly stereotypical masculine traits - which seem to hold up pretty well.

One of the more shocking (or not) things here is just how many men are flashing their beards for the camera. A full 91 percent - almost every male swipe dating app user with great profiles in the city - sports facial hair in Atlanta.

Considering that a 2018 study found that men with beards are more attractive to women , perhaps this is a solid strategy.

Male Stereotypes - Part 2

Going into Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia, the majority of men are still convinced that showing scruff is the way to go. We also notice men are going out of their way to show off their pecs, with at least a third of all profiles here having shirtless photos. Curiously, they don't seem to be fitness-related, as you can see in Los Angeles.

We're not sure why guys are still doing this - an earlier study found that women respond more positively to tuxedo profile pictures than they do shirtless ones. Tuxes make for a great dating profile

The Final Cities

Here, we explore more swipe dating app profile tropes for both male and female swipe dating app users in San Francisco Washington DC. Again, we see facial hair being pretty popular for guys - especially in San Francisco. Women living in the same city seem to be pretty fond of showing off their tattoos - which appear to be far more popular with Americans today than in the past. A 2018 report found the art form has come to be considered a luxury item .

The Tops

Now, we're going to look at male and female swipe dating app pictures in the aggregate. This is especially interesting, because it gives us some insight into what the sexes like to show about themselves. Women are far more likely to be on Snapchat, more also more likely to sport an adult beverage in their pictures. Best friends should really be giving these people better advice.

When it comes to pet pics, women again take a lead, but the gap closes if it's a dog. This might have something to do with the fact that millennials - who again comprise most of swipe dating app user base - are basically replacing babies with pets.

Dating apps are a fascinating way to observe people. Also, if you're in the market for a date yourself and you're trying to stand out on the app, the data we just showed you can be helpful for deciding how to do it - or more accurately, how not to.

Methodology

LawnStarter scraped over 100 male and female users in each city represented. Then through visual and textual scrapes we analyzed the data. All users that were scraped were manually confirmed afterwards and vetted. Each profile that was analyzed was a heterosexual profile and must have included more than 3 photos to qualify

Coronavirus has had a "dramatic" effect on the way people use the dating app Tinder, its boss has told BBC News, though the changes may suit plans he already had in store for the platform.
The coronavirus outbreak and lockdown conditions have brought mixed fortunes to online-dating platforms like Tinder, according to its chief executive Elie Seidman.

On the one hand, user engagement is up, a trend other dating apps have reported too.

Tinder users made 3 billion swipes worldwide on Sunday 29 March, the most the app has ever recorded in a single day. In the UK, daily conversations rose by 12% between mid-February and the end of March.

There has been a "dramatic shift" in behaviour metrics which are normally stable, says Mr Seidman.

However, the economic impact of lockdown means people have less money to spend.

This is not such good news for Tinder, which is free but relies on premium subscriptions for its revenue.

"The [US] unemployment figures are hard to see," says Mr Seidman. "I'm very concerned about what happens economically for our society and the impact it will have on so many of our members."

Tinder has been downloaded more than 340 million times since its launch in 2012. But the vast majority of its revenues come from just 6 million subscribers who pay for the "gold" service. The rate at which it picked up those precious paying-users declined as lockdown struck.

The company's data show that new sign-ups for premium membership pick up where lockdowns start to ease, says Mr Siedman.

"You can literally see the comeback on a state by state basis [in the US], as things come out and start to loosen up, as the peak crisis starts to pass."

Other platforms which offer free sign-up have noticed something similar during lockdown.

"We've seen a surge in activity," says Charly Lester, dating expert for The Inner Circle platform. "Matches have risen by 15% and the number of messages sent is up by 10%, but we've also noticed less willingness to pay."

Mr Siedman says you might have to wait two or three financial quarters to see the full economic impact on Tinder, as the scale of the global crisis becomes clear.

The other issue that will become clear with time is whether the popularity of virtual dating, by video call, is here to stay, once physical meet-ups with strangers become more possible.

Platforms like eHarmony, OKCupid and Match have reported a big rise in video dates.

Tinder is planning to roll out its own video dating function in June, says Mr Seidman.

The video call service will operate on a double opt-in policy, so both sides of the match would have to agree to it. It will be free and supported by a team of moderators.

The changes to dating brought in by coronavirus lockdowns have merely accelerated a generational change the company was already tracking in focus groups, says Mr Seidman.

The 18-year-olds joining the app now, unlike their predecessors who joined in 2012, have grown up immersed in social media apps and see that virtual world as something quite natural, he explains.

For this generation online matches aren't just about organising a meet-up in real life, they are about having fulfilling online experiences too.

For this reason the company has been working on making Tinder less of a place to organise "hook ups" offline and more of a place to hang out online, to get to know people. It is trialling virtual spaces and live events where people can meet and match on the platform, like Swipe Nights and quizzes.

Mr Seidman sums up the creed of the new young crop of Tinder users: "Your digital life is as important as your social life in the physical world."

In a world of continued social distancing, this creed may also have to be embraced to some extent by older daters too.

Tinder boss says 'dramatic' changes to dating

In many ways, the college admissions scanda l, aka "Operation Varsity Blues," was a cautionary tale about what can happen when parents get too involved in their children's school careers.

Although most parents don't break the law or pay millions of dollars to get their kids into prestigious schools, "helicopter parenting" is far more common, and it can have lasting psychological effects.

A new study from Florida State University found that kids who had helicopter parents were more likely to experience burnout from schoolwork, and they had a harder time transitioning from school to the real world.

For the study, researchers from Florida State University surveyed 427 college students (ages 18 to 29) about their upbringing and how they felt about their performance in school.

Students ranked how much they identified with statements like, "I think my father/mother is too overly involved in my life," "I wish I had more self-discipline" and "I feel emotionally drained from my studies."

Those who had helicopter parents also had higher levels of burnout in school. And these effects were more pronounced when their fathers were the ones hovering compared to mothers.

Researchers define helicopter parents as those who "excessively monitor" their kids and are overly involved or controlling in a way that's inappropriate for parents of adults. Instead of teaching their kids how to handle obstacles, helicopter parents often just clear the way for them. For example, a helicopter parent might do their kid's laundry or speak to their child's professor about their grades.

Most of the time, helicopter parents behave this way because they don't want their kids to fail, or because they feel personally invested in their child's success, the study authors wrote.

The irony is, when kids are micro-managed by their parents, they don't develop "self-control skills" that are necessary for reaching long-term goals and coping with academic stressors, Hayley Love, study author tells CNBC Make It.

"Students may be experiencing academic pressures to succeed for their parents, however they do not have the self-regulatory resources to cope with the stress," Love says.

As a result, they might feel "increasingly helpless, hopeless and resentful, exerting less effort on their studies, which leads to lower grades," Frank Fincham, director of the FSU Family Institute said in a release. "In some cases, students end up dropping out of college."

What does burnout look like in a kid? The researchers defined it as "exhaustion due to school work, cynical attitudes toward school and perceived inadequacy in school-related accomplishments."

Beyond school, "this research really highlights the salience of parenting even as children move out of the home," Love says.

Helicopter parenting signals to kids that their parents will make all major life decisions for them, including planning for their future and monitoring their performance, the study authors wrote. Over time, kids will feel like everything they do is for their parents, so they lose any personal motivation to succeed.

This is particularly troubling for adults who are transitioning from school to the "real world" and from high school to college. Other studies have shown that young adults (in their college years) who have helicopter parents have lower levels of self efficacy, which is the personal belief that they're capable of handling tough life tasks and decisions. They also experience more anxiety and depression, and lower levels of life satisfaction and physical health.

The best thing parents can do is "provide plenty of autonomy and independence to help facilitate healthy development," Love says. Guiding kids to develop self-control skills not only allows them to flourish as adults, but also can help mitigate the effects of burnout, she adds.

When parents are overly involved in their children's lives, they don't develop the coping mechanisms necessary to handle stress and pressure, according to a new study from Florida State University. Kids who grow up with this parenting style may feel hopeless or resentful when it comes to their school work.

It was the butter mountain and the milk lake that hit her when she opened the fridge.

There was no-one there to use them up; they were a reminder of all she had lost.

When a son who devours his bodyweight in cereal leaves home, you start to measure out your life in milk cartons.

You need to stop catering for a hungry teenager. Life will never be quite the same.

Like thousands of other parents, this Belfast mother waved her son off to university in Scotland.

She wishes to remain anonymous to protect his identity or, perhaps, her admission that she found his leaving so difficult.

His father took him on the ferry, she stayed at home, channelling the cleaning guru Mrs Hinch.

Rubber gloves on, she moved in for the kill.

"I thought it would be a great chance to get into his bedroom and give it a really good clean," she said.

"I took away the old socks and T-shirts, I turned the room upside down.

"Then I stood back and I thought that once the smell of dirty sock and the empty crisp bags were gone, it wasn't his room any more."

She was surprised at how the grief hit her.

Empty nest syndrome - a combination of loneliness and grief when your children leave home - strikes thousands of parents each year.

TV chef Gordon Ramsay - not averse to giving people as well as vegetables a good roasting - turned marshmallow soft when he talked about his son, Jack, leaving home for university.

In an interview, he said he was surprised that he felt so "gutted".

He confessed that after his son had gone, he went into Jack's room, found a pair of his pants and put them on.

Claire Sheeran knows all about empty nest syndrome.

"I was a single mother from virtually before she was born and she was my one and only," she said.

"After 19 years, I was not prepared for how her leaving would affect me."

The mother, from County Antrim, said it hit her on the way back to the ferry after leaving her daughter at Liverpool University.

"I was okay until I hit the M2 motorway and then I bawled my eyes out," she said.

'Just me and the dog'

The sheer force of grief proved unexpected.

"I didn't know what my role was any more," she said. "There was just me and the dog at home.

"The house felt empty and I brought the dog to sleep in my bed - that's the way it has been ever since."

She knew she needed to reach out to friends and find her own interests.

And she sought solace in the often-quoted words of poet Kahlil Gibran: "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.''

Celia Dodd has so much experience of empty nest syndrome, she wrote a book about it.

"When my son, the first one left, I was really devastated, You feel like you have lost a part of you," she said.

"It was hard with each one. It did not get easier."

The journalist and mother-of-three said people do not talk about that emptiness and fathers often do not talk about how they are equally affected.

"I spoke to one man on the day his daughter was leaving for university," she said.

"He said: 'What I feel is that she will never be with us in the same way again'."

The author said she missed the casual chats with her children.

In the early days of empty nest, she took in Chinese students who had nowhere to go in the holidays.

She grew tomatoes and volunteered in a homeless shelter.

"It tided me over," she said. "I had all of this nurturing with nowhere to go."

Her advice is to acknowledge that parent-child relationships change, then shift the focus on to what you want.

She writes about how to navigate that change and how adult children still need their parents - but in a different way.

Tony Cassidy, professor of child and family health psychology at Ulster University said that while Empty Nest Syndrome was not a clinical diagnosis, it is widely recognised that when children leave home parents - particularly mothers - experience a sense of sadness, loss, depression, loneliness, distress, and even a loss of purpose and meaning in life.

Prof Cassidy said mothers tended to be more likely to experience these emotions.

"The problem is that it often coincides with other life changes such as onset of menopause, breakdown of marriage, loss of own parents.

"Many women sacrifice their own careers for family and, at this time, there is a sudden realisation of emptiness in life - lack of life purpose."

He said "empty nest" tended to happen later for many people as women are having children later in life and children are living at home for longer.

"The average age of children leaving home these days is 26," he said.

"The problem with diagnosis and treatment is that it may be confused with menopause onset and not recognised as an issue in need of help or support in its own right."

It's clear empty nest syndrome affects many parents in a variety of ways.

And it seems family pets can also be affected.

"The dog was pining for him," said the Belfast mother. "He searched all over the house, crying for him.

"He stood at the door waiting for the return of the beloved and when he did come home, the dog ran about madly in circles."

No doubt she was (privately) doing the same.

Empty nest syndrome is a feeling of grief and loneliness parents may feel when their children leave home for the first time, such as to live on their own or to attend a college or university. It is not a clinical condition.

Since young adults moving out from their families' house is generally a normal and healthy event, the symptoms of empty nest syndrome often go unrecognized. This can result in depression and a loss of purpose for parents, since the departure of their children from "the nest" leads to adjustments in parents' lives. Empty nest syndrome is especially common in full-time mothers.

All parents are susceptible to empty nest syndrome, although some factors can create a predisposition to it. Such factors include an unstable or unsatisfactory marriage, a sense of self based primarily on identity as a parent, or difficulty accepting change in general. Full-time parents ( stay-at-home mothers or fathers) may be especially vulnerable to empty nest syndrome. Adults who are also dealing with other stressful life events such as the death of a spouse, moving away or retirement are also more likely to experience the syndrome.

Symptoms of empty nest syndrome can include depression, a sense of loss of purpose, feelings of rejection, or worry, stress, and anxiety over the child's welfare. Parents who experience empty nest syndrome often question whether or not they have prepared adequately for their child to live independently.

Many mothers, often the primary caregivers, are more likely than fathers to experience empty nest syndrome. However, research has shown that some fathers expressed feelings that they were unprepared for the emotional transition that comes with their child leaving home. Others have stated feelings of guilt over lost opportunities to be more involved in their children's lives before they left home.

Empty nest parents often face new challenges, such as establishing a new kind of relationship with their children, having to find other ways to occupy their free time, reconnecting with each other, and a lack of sympathy from people who believe that parents should be happy when their children leave home.

One of the easiest ways for parents to cope with empty nest syndrome is to keep in contact with their children. Technological developments such as cell phones, text messaging, and the internet all allow for increased communication between parents and their children.

Parents going through empty nest syndrome can ease their stress by pursuing their own hobbies and interests in their increased spare time. Discussing their grief with each other, friends, families, or professionals may help them. Experts have advised that overwhelmed parents keep a journal, or go back to work if they were full-time parents.

A growing body of research on marriage has shown that the presence of children decreases overall marriage satisfaction and happiness. Children often bring about financial stress to a couple, impose time constraints, and create an abundance of household duties, especially for women. On average, couples with children can only spend about one-third the time alone together than they did before having children. Thus empty nest parents can rekindle their own relationship by spending more time together. Without their children to be their primary focus during the day, many such couples express that their quality of time spent together improves.

In the last decade, the so-called " Boomerang Generation"-young adults who return to live with their parents-have changed the traditional empty nest dynamics. Factors such as the high unemployment rate in the United States and constrained job markets have been used to explain the surge in such individuals. Census data from 2008 showed that as many as 20 million 18-34-year-olds (34% of that age group) were living at home with their parents. A decade earlier, only fifteen percent of men and eight percent of women in that age range did so.

In the Old Spice "Smellcome to Manhood" commercials, the commercials show mothers singing about how Old Spice made their sons into men and how they are feeling bad that their sons are leaving home.

Peter de Wit drew Het Lege Nest, a 2011 graphic novel about his personal experience involving empty nest syndrome and psychological advice to overcome these feelings.

In An Extremely Goofy Movie, Goofy suffers from empty nest syndrome after his son Max departs for college. During his work hours at the toy assembly line, Goofy's sadness results in him being careless and eventually resulting in him inadvertently causing a massive explosion in the factory leading to Goofy getting fired from his job.

In the 2014 film Boyhood, Mason's mother Olivia suffers this when her son prepares to leave for college complaining now she'll get lonely.

In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Sam's mother Judy suffers this as Sam leaves for college. His father on the other hand does not.

In Brazilian film Minha Mãe é uma Peça 2, the main character Mrs. Hermínia is struggling to accept that her children are moving. She argues frequently with them trying to convince them not to go.

In the 2018 computer-animated Pixar short film Bao, an aging and lonely Chinese mother suffers from empty nest syndrome until she gets an unexpected second chance at motherhood when her homemade bao comes to life.

In Zootopia, Stu suffers from empty nest syndrome after his daughter Judy Hopps departs for Zootopia.

Failure to Launch, a romantic comedy about an adult son failing to move out of the nest.

Empty Nest, an American sitcom (1988-1995), deals with a situation where the protagonist's wife dies and his two adult daughters move in with him.

In the TV movie Social Nightmare, protagonist Cat Hardy's mother Susan displays an extreme manifestation of empty nest syndrome.

In the Netflix show Fuller House, Aunt Becky seems to be suffering from either this, or baby fever, or both, after her twin sons go to college, as she displays an extreme attachment to DJ's baby son Tommy.

You can't do any effort without your brain. It is accountable for everything you do- waking in the morning, recalling who you are and where you live and thoughts of love, pleasure or sorrow. In fact your brain is the manager of your body. It runs the show and manages just about everything you do even when you are sleeping. The awareness level of human brain varies from person to person but there are some interesting brain facts that are astonishing and worth knowing. So let us introduce you with 10 interesting facts of brain

Interesting Facts About Brain

The human brain is the single organ in the human body that lacks nerves in spite of the fact that it acts as the essential authority for the central nervous system. This simply implies that human brain feels no pain.

The human brain consumes the major portion of the entire energy that is generated in the human body. To be exact, the brain consumes 20% of that energy despite the fact that it only represent 2% of the total body weight. The energy is very significant for maintaining healthy brain cells and fueling nerve impulse.

The figure of neurons present in the brain is approximately 100 billion which is about 15 times of the overall human population on earth. This large number of neurons increases the handing out capability of the brain.

The human brain is known as the fattest organ in the human body. About 60% of the human brain is comprised of fat which is the maximum concentration of fat that is present in a only organ in a healthy human being. Furthermore, 75% of the total brain mass is comprised of water which regulates different functions in the brain.

The neocortex is the part of the human brain that is in charge for language and consciousness. It makes up around 76% of the human brain and making it the largest when compared to that in other animals.

It is said by many that, human beings use less than 10% of their brain. This is a delusion because each and every part of the brain has a known function.

Some great interesting facts of brain are related to yawning, you yawn after somebody else did, isn't it ? This is because you have cells in your brain called mirror neurons. If this part of the brain is injured, a person finds it hard to socialize and converse with others (autistic people experience this confront)

Oxytocin, also known as 'love hormone', is secreted in your brain in high doses when you fall in love. The similar hormone is released during and after giving birth to help a mother link with her child. These interesting facts of brain related to love are more interesting!

Your brain use 20-30% of all the calories you eat... that's why it's important to pay attention to what you eat and chose healthy quality fuel for your body and your brain

While conscious, your brain generates between 10 and 23 watts of power- or sufficient energy to power a light bulb.

The brain is the huge factory of thought. Towards it are directed all the services of nature and evolution. Well said by Leonardo Bianchi, Human brain is able to execute numerous tasks naturally and is considered the most multifarious organ of the body

At the age of six, the brain is about 95 percent of its adult size. Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will strengthen in terms of neural connectivity.The brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully matured. This may go some toward explaining impulsive behavior in teens and why vehicular accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people.
