The world of dating in 2015

* Time Out editions in 24 cities participated in our global dating survey, and we received responses from many more locations around the world. Data were compared between the 12 cities from which the largest responses were received: London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo and Beijing. Some results were produced from a global analysis of the data.
